No Motherland Without. Kim Yo-jong, Mother of the Nation and of Propaganda

  North Korean: Carlo Alberto Magnani. Western: Alex Isabelle. The events of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, aka North Korea, begin already in the aftermath of the Second World War. It will take about five years for the problems that began as a simple territorial division between the Soviet Union and the United States, and then finally exploded with the inconclusive Korean War, to crystallize in the form we know well: two states, divided by the most militarized border in the world and by a military truce that has been questioned several times. North of the 38th parallel, which divides the two Koreas with glacial precision, the Kim dynasty takes power, in the person of the military leader Kim Il-sung, who finds himself with a poor, wounded and extremely underdeveloped country. Will the discipline of Juche be able to guide North Korea through the waves of history? The game opens with the news that, of the three main population centers in the country, two are without electr...

Brief Border Wars. The Football War: the Battle of Nacaome

Scenario:  The Football War Salvadoran: Laura Beltrami Honduran: Alex Isabelle The conflict that goes by the elusive name of "football war" was one of the shortest war in history: it lasted a total of four days, yet this was enough to leave about six thousand dead on the battlefield, more than half of them being civilians. In spite of the name, therefore, it was not a simple brawl between the hooligans of El Salvador and Honduras, but the explosion of tensions accumulated over several years and opportunistically fueled by both governments. On the one hand, the xenophobic policy of the Honduran dictator Oswaldo López Arellano had directed popular anger in the direction of the more or less irregular immigrants who had moved to Honduras due to the overpopulation and the huge employment rate in El Salvador. On the other hand, the latter country was facing a series of domestic political problems: the society was fragmented and unhappy and would have reacted positively to a war wit...

The Mission. On the Copts and their natural tendency towards heresy (part 1 of 6)

Christian: Alex Isabelle  (I'm laughing already) Prologue. The crucifixion We travel back two thousand years, reaching one of those rare moments in which history and legend merge to become myth. We are in Jerusalem. The year is 31. Or 30. Or 33. Scholars do not agree, but in 31 we know that there was an earthquake that seems to have had effects attributable to some things described in the Gospel of Matthew. As a scientist I choose to follow the indications of geologists and therefore, for me, we are in 31. The crucifixion of Christ takes place, an act that must seem decisive to those who are responsible for putting the unfortunate person to death, i.e. the Roman occupying forces. These people basically find their hands tied: the words of the new messiah are generating an ungovernable mayhem and the matter must be closed once and for all. The opposite effect is instead obtained: faced with the torture on Calvary, the cult built around Christ emerges strengthened, thanks to the appar...
