Censored Addendum to Yoshimoto Hano's History of the Empire
by Filip WiltgrenDecember 29, 2016
Imaginary Concepts, People, and Places
Hitler
You've never heard of him. A bit like Anton Drexler, but shorter. Had a squeakier voice, too. Did about the same things but failed miserably.
Nuclear Weapons
The whole idea is that you can separate the indestructible elements of life. So you could take a rice atom and cut it open and all this energy would be released in a great, fiery flash. It would be like transforming Earth or Wind into Fire and the rice atom would vanish. Ridiculous idea.
Dogs
Dogs are like cats, or rats. Like a rat-cat, but social. Liked humans and looked up to us. Acted as eyes for the blind sometimes, but without the need to put them on your face. Quite nice, really. Liked to be petted but drooled a lot, ate shoes and ran beneath tanks to explode them.
America
That's where the Sunrise Provinces and Vinland intersects. Lots of revolutions, revolts, and civil war. Quite like now, come to think of it. They waged war on Hitler and His Imperial Majesty, may He guard the Light of Heaven.
Huguenots
White barbarians who threw each other out windows. Called it defenestration to make it sound official.
Submarines
Boats that go below the water. How silly is that?
China
A mythical nation on the mainland. Built an army of clay soldiers to protect it.
Socrates
Imaginary, barbarian name for the philosopher Ning-Jiang. Ning-Jiang was born in the far western provinces and rose to prominence in the early Imperial court with the philosophical model of the atom.
The Imperial Time Corps
Completely imaginary, the stuff of bunraku and kami-tales. Does not exist by edict of His Imperial Majesty.

"And this," I tell the visitor, bathing it in electromagnetic radiation, sending my message in three thousand standard languages, and a large number of mathematically deduced logical propositions, "was Sol, the home of the Creators." The visitor wobbles, turning along its…
Pick-up time at the Daycare
"Hello." Dr. Octopus stomps in through the front door, the fire engine-red, reinforced steel squealing slightly in his grip. For a moment, I'm afraid the thick window-glass in the middle is about to crack. "Sorry," he says. "Bad day." He's tried to wash up, I can see that, but…
Ninety-Nine Percent Support
"A mouth-piece?" Kalia said. "Seriously?" "It's not that bad," I said. "Besides, the perks are fab." And they were. The VIP+ lounge of the Starbucks-Subway was all you can eat, golden crunchy pain ordinaire stuffed with slices of printed turkey and salami proteins, olive paste…
The Vanity of Zombie Publishing
First the Professor came back. "Well," he said, rotting tongue mangling the word, "it seems I now must believe in personal immortality, to compliment the one I might gain through my books." He was a celebrity, of course, now even more than before. What are 500 published works…
The Bravest Thing My Dad Did for Me
The bravest thing my dad ever did for me was wave to me from the kitchen window. As a child, I didn't realize the courage it took for that heavy brown curtain to be pulled back, for that pale hand to wave even though the sun was already in the sky. If anything, I was annoyed by…
