## Quelpart

The consumer world, leisurely. The business world, cutthroat. The political world, non-existent. Have fun or we'll kill you, welcome to Quelpart.

### Language

* Ibatan and Ivatan have a word *taha* meaning "to compare", which we can reconstruct in PBat as \*taRa. Its active form uses *om-* and its passive uses *pa- -en*. By univerbifying *pa- -en*, \*taRa, and the distal oblique \*su, we can get \*pataRensu, which can be further stripped to \*tRensu meaning "like". \*tRensu titu "dog-like".
* Old Chinese 之 /\*tə/ would be borrowed. It, alongside marker \*a, would slowly displace ma- which would be fossilized onto some adjectives but would no longer be productive. Sad loss... Maybe Middle Chinese 之 /t͡ɕɨ/ could be borrowed as well, giving us the trifecta of linkers *yo*, *to*, and *chi*?
* "To join" in Ibatan is *tapang*. There is also Itbayaten *pitapangen*. We can get the words for Internet from these bad boys.
* Itbayaten *dino* and *sino*, Ibatan *ango*. PDong *dinu*, *sinu*, *aNu*. PQ *dainu*, *sainu*, *aNu*. OQ *taidu*, *saidu*, *aNgu*. MQ *tait*, *sait*, *aNgu*. EMQ *tai*, *sai*, *aNgu*.
* PQ *manumanuk* becomes OQ *numanuk*, but plural *maNa manumanuk* becomes *maNumanuk*
* ~~\*rurit "dirt" becomes *ruhit*, meaning TRASH. final output is *raohik'*~~
* Penci, maybe?
* Coda: t → ch, n → l, s → t (this last one may rip off Korean too much though)
* py by → y(affected vowel) y(unaffected vowel)
* Voiceless consonants are "strong" because they affect the vowel quality, while voiced ones are "weak" because they don't? IDK
* Different names for sun! Newborn sun (dawn), yellow sun (morning), fire sun (noon and early afternoon), blue sun (late afternoon), red sun (dusk). The sun is BORN AND DIES every day
* 1. Not just in Sunaro but in Quelpart as well, make initial \*t become \*s. 2. the word for man "so" becomes the first person pronoun 3. Even it gets displaced in modern Quelpartian by ren or something
* Speaking of ren: words eventually get double negatived like in French (NEG - verb - some other NEG). The original NEG wears away giving us just the second one. Like how in French, "nobody" is usually just *personne*, in Quelpartian "nobody" is just (word for person)

Internationale forbindelser mellem Kina (Tryngkvak) og Japan (Ngeathvan) er blevet endnu mere anstrengte på grund af stridigheder i det østkinesiske (dunghaj) hav.

### Modern government - PROTECTIONISM IS KING

* PROTECTIONISM IS THE ONLY WAY QUELPART LIVES!!!
* After the Coup of '92, the chai tsengs said "go suck it IMF / World Bank" and refuse to go neoliberal

### OLD IDEAS

* The first president was educated in Vanderbilt University, where he mingled with conservative dixie dudes who influenced his vision for Quelpart.
* Quelpart SUPER\* AMERICA MODE between 1960 and 1968. Denim!!!!
* Disney: Walt Disney himself pitches in some EPCOT ideas. Lee Keuan-De liked them. SECOND GENERAL liked them too. They are realized in Disneyland Quelpart and Waltersted.
* Other American Investments
	+ Early: NO Ford; Lee Keuan-De wanted to conserve space
	+ Trump Tower, just to really hammer in how capitalist Quelpart is.
* Singapore is in the middle of Asia and Europe. We can't let that happen!
	+ ARMS COMPANY intentionally further destabilized Malaya so that trade there is undesirable
	+ Quelpartian government finances the Thai Canal
* Lee Keuan-De thought. He would never admit it (to keep the West happy) but he copied a lot of ideas from the PRC especially Mao who didn't Great Leap Forward this timeline. Following the Coup of '92 and the rise of China as a true power (they are as powerful then as they are now), the Board become more open to collaborating with them (as it became increasingly clear that the United States was losing its status as hegemon AGAIN ESPECIALLY because no GLF).
* Cities of Quelpart: CORPORATE CITIES. Literally a synonym for COMPANY TOWNS. If you live in them you have to use CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS issued out by BANKS owned by the GOLDEN TWENTY, or more specifically whatever member of the G20 OWNS the corporate town. E.g. there's a Hyacinth Group and they built up Hyacinth City; if you live there you have to use Hyacinth Credit Cards. Basically modern-day company tokens.
* THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT TAKEN TO THE MAX
* How Mitsubishi can still win: you know how the zaibatsu split into three after WW2? After the Civil War (or even before), one group flees to Quelpart and sets up shop under the Mitsubishi name (bc the naming was initially prohibited). We can have Crystal Movers!!!
* Binding arbitration waivers - ain't no suing corporations
* Stuffed boiled dumplings https://www.reddit.com/r/mongolia/comments/vpsacr/the\_invasion\_of\_dumplings/
