Welcome to Brünzlov Blog

Welcome to Brünzlov Blog, where over the course of the next few years I will be adding information from the vast archival library that exists on the little-known and quite powerful State of Brünzlov. In order to be perfectly clear about things of this nature, and knowing that people will call me a closet (or outright) fascist for publishing this information: Brünzlov was created when I (and the other authors, hereto referred to as Gottfried Jakobi and Helgo Zuren) was very young. The whole thing spiraled all out of proportion, things were added, then things were changed to keep continuity. This is all real easy if you're one person, like Tolkein or C.S. Lewis. It's damn near impossible when there are three different authors all writing about one event (in particular, the Liberal/Conservative War, which will come up from time to time).

Brünzlov is a fictitious nation-state, comprising 7 islands, that rests somewhere in the South Atlantic to the northeast of the Falklands. Its creation came out of one seminal event, and that was the Falklands war. Myself and the other two writers (henceforth known as The Creators), being budding young Reaganites in grade school, took it upon ourselves to wonder what would happen if a Socialist State (or more overtly, Communist) were to exist somewhere in that area.

This blog will consist soley of Brünzlov-related stuff, so if you're coming here for debates on the merits of one thing or another, forget it. The only questions answered will be historical ones, and there will be no politics discussed, other than in the context of Brünzlov. Obviously, this all began as a metaphor for Reagan/Thatcher conservativism, so that's pretty much the area in which it rests now. In past times Brünzlov has been a monarchy, a dictatorship, a Fascist state, and Communist. Now, it's pretty much a Republic, although, a very jingoistic and violent one. The writings are meant to be humorous in a dark, black sense. Nothing written is meant to be a literal endorsement of said behavior, rather, as junior-high humor that one looks back and chuckles on. If you're into zombie movies and crazy exploitation movies, maybe it will appeal to you. If you think Brünzlov as it appears here represents your current view of the American political process, then you're even crazier than we are.

And I'll leave it at that. Let's begin.
