What propaganda tells you: eventually, the terran forces were able to turn the tide What actually happened: a month before the end of the war, the Großemusches Reich entered the war. A month later, all remaining Tyrum forces capitulated.
Even the Germans themselves have Bonn as their former Capital as well as 15 stand-in Capitals of federal States from which you could continue the Federal Government if the need arises. Hell, the Tyrum did us a favour when they nuked Berlin. That city is actually an overall strain to our economy.
@@Exodon2020 Yes, after WWII both parts of the divided city were fed money and they got used to wasting it. All other EU countries's capitals are the driving economic force of their nation. If you take Berlin out if the equation for Germany, however the GDP average actually rises.

They just hid in their basements, which were all bomb shelters for some reason." Yet another Tyrum: "Why do all the bridges keep exploding!?"
This was more during the times of Frederick-Wilhelm I (also known as „the soldier king“) and his son Frederick II (who later became known as „Frederick the Great“). Prussia was known as a rather poor state back then. So they had to dedicate a vast amount of their state budget to the military in order to keep up with the larger and richer great powers of their time. Prussia had a mighty army during the times of Bismarck - but Prussia‘s economy had grown so substantially that it could afford such an army without dedicating most of the state budget to it.
Bismarck was a diplomat and statesman. He finished the obligatory military service in his youth and then never joined the military again. Especially Americans seem to think he was some kind of general or military master mind? He never took part in a war.

And yet historical differences continued to flare up following the war. The UAC had problems post war with integration and the EC stumbled with with imperialist remarks.

Aliens: Think destroying just Berlin will cripple Europe London, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Vienna, Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Brussels, Zurich, Kiev: Are we a joke to you?
I can't wait for videos on all the Commissariats! I hope the ones in Asia are equally fleshed out as I understand most of your audience probably resides in Europe and America and this may be impractical.
This is kind of out of the blue, and will inevitably be buried in the comment section, but I had an idea for better symbolism for the Nordic Commissariat flag. Rather than simply being based on the colours of preexisting countries flags, base it on this. Have yellow and red to symbolize the Kalmar Union. The Kalmar Union was the only time in history that all of the Nordic Countries had a single head of state governing all the nations in the north. And have dark blue and white to symbolize the modern flag of the Nordic Council. Just a thought for some more thoughtful meaningful symbolism than just "use all the existing colours."
The Kalmar Union is not a united scandinavia, but a scandinavia subservient to the danish monarchy. Blue and white are far more appropriate symbolising the nordic council.
@@Valokaari Templin most likely though that Europe was too diverse a place to smoosh together under one centralised government. Hence why we also have the Albion (Great Britain), Balkan and Eurasion Commissariats alongside the European and Nordic Commissariats.
I like this one, it's really unique to Hollywood movies at least. And it makes sense that europe of all places would be the origin of the millitary war machine known as the GTU.
I love how they added benefits and negatives to how the nations run, I can't wait to see what kinda benefits or negatives could be added to a completely different nation they may play in the future.
There's a part of me that whenever a Stellar Invicta video comes out, imagines it in the setting of Star Trek. Some alien race attacks pre warp Earth, and after we fight them off and reverse engineer their tech, we go out as a _militaristic society…_ but not the psychotic Mirror Universe Terran Empire [that was intrinsically unstable and bound to collapse].
Sometimes we looked to the stars for hope... and for answers... sometimes we didn't like what we found... and while the universe offered us few answers, it was easily willing to confront us with new questions...
I'd never even considered this style/method of presenting a Stellaris campaign until your previous Stellaris Invicta series's. But.. that's the beautiful thing about Stellaris, ya know? It's that you can make whatever "Head Canon" you like for it, and fully RP as the nation you've created. This is an excellent method of sharing that "Head Canon" with all of us. I'll definitely be watching the next episode(s) when released. :)
It is amazing how an alien invasion is needed to put the bureaucrats and bankers aside and bring out that patriotic determination on which the nations and the European Community were founded.
Would love to see a pic of that EuroCorp division soldier belting that Supremacist. That would be an iconic image. And a pic of their commander later in an interview, giving his best Wolverine curled-lip grunt "We don't have time for that bullshit." when asked about the incident.
Watching this, alongside the video on the United Americas Commissariat, makes me amazed at how there's careful attention given towards showing how each region's history and culture "build" the Greater Terran Union. Makes me even more excited to see how the other Commissariats are built (especially the Eurasian and Pan-Pacific Commissariats, since we keep hearing about their famed industrial capacity 😂). It'd be interesting to see how these would be crafted, though, given how vastly diverse the politics, cultures, and ideologies are in these continents. 😅
I like how, in the background music, you can hear the background bass music of the GTU (almost). Goes to show how the Eurocore was what lead to the GTU, due to being one of the most resilient to invasion, and some of the first areas to rebuild were European (including Britain, clearly, seeing as London was the first major city rebuilt). EDIT: also, Albion Commissariat video when?
hoo another Stellaris Invicta video nice by the way did see one of No Strings Prd videos about the tiberium and red alert universes you should totally collaborate with him
As a long time table top game geek and lore nerd Iove everyone of these back stories Hopefully you make some sort of codex with all of these in it ..hearing about battles last stands Humanity just fighting to survive and becoming better for it just brings me so much joy .

GTU's structure is very similar to that of the former European Federation lol I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Decentralization is good for when you have to defend against overwhelming force as on strike can't cripple everything. But it's bad for an attacking force as commands can get muddied
GTU was able to rapidly adapt to decenralized command if need be as seen in War with the NEX.
Think you missed the fact the GTU is also decentralised into commisariats
I had goosebumps through the complete duration of the video. That is the first time since Larissas left. With that for me personally he completely earned the role as Larissas sucsessor
Same
This new Narrator is beyond amazing. I'm glad to see the Greater Terran Union back in full swing. Let Season 2 soon begin.
I can´t help but feel a sense of pride when watching this video. I really hope that one day we will be able to overcome our differences and unite under a single government giving birth to the European federation.
This is impressive. Long live the European fédération.
Human Supremacist tries to attack a child.
GTU Soldier: "Thats a paddling"
Simpsons moment
We call this a difficulty tweak
"It had been nearly a lifetime since Europe had seen a major war. No one alive then could remember a time their cities were reduced to rubble" well that aged poorly
So good ! The GTU is your best work ! As a citizen of the European Commissariat i valid your narration !

Welcome to Europe! The Continent of Blood! Constant war since time immemorial to the end of Bosnian Wars, enjoy your stay!
Well eastern Ukraine is still Europe. So the war is still ongoing.
@@fabianherrmann6398 They're part of Eurasian Commissariat, I guess the Russians at the end got what they wanted.

- The Various Lantern Corps (DC Comics)
I’d like to see an episode on the Arabian Commissariat. I’m curious about the integration of Israel with it’s previously very hostile neighbors. (Very Niche I know, but something I’m very curious about.)
Pretty sure most petty human conflicts lost their meaning the Minute Berlin got obliterated by an orbital strike from a Hostile Alien Invasion Force.
spoiler, Israel survived alone making it the Jewish commisariat.
And yet historical differences continued to flare up following the war. The UAC had problems post war with integration and the EC stumbled with with imperialist remarks. It only makes sense that there would be some kind of flare up in a part of the world that is notorious for its conflicts fought over it.
@@Exodon2020 maybe most problems but not nearly enough. After all, were going through a worldwide crisis right now, we have a common enemy and not too many nation's feel the need to stand together
I'm guessing somehow that was solved before 2090 or the aliens nuked the problem away.
FOR THE EMPERO- wait wrong universe FOR THE GREATER TERRAN UNION
Lol! So unoriginal (no offense, I'm not exempt) but still hilarious to hear!
@@irishspartanstudios Don't worry, all sci-fi universes is just a prequel to 40k. Even Dune
@@irishspartanstudios brutally honest
@@whyamihere5732 Trying not to be rude, though calling someone unoriginal is rude... So... Despite me saying it's funny none the less but... Eh, whatever
@@zachzent8287 True
I vote for Albion Commissariat or Japanese-Korean Comissariat next!
The narrator is awesome! Love the voice and the gravity (and the focus) he delivers. Perfect for this episode. Europe has never sounded more cool to my ears. Keep up with the excellent work, sir!
Couldn't agree more!

We remember,
In September,
That's the night Dresden was freed;
We made the enemy bleed;
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!!!

Not that this needs to be said, but the Greater Terran Union is probably one of the coolest science-fiction ideas and stories I’ve heard in a long time, and the fact that you guys made it is even better. Great job guys 👍
Aliens: Think destroying just Berlin will cripple Europe
London, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Vienna, Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Brussels, Zurich, Kiev: Are we a joke to you?
I can't wait for videos on all the Commissariats! I hope the ones in Asia are equally fleshed out as I understand most of your audience probably resides in Europe and America and this may be impractical.
This is kind of out of the blue, and will inevitably be buried in the comment section, but I had an idea for better symbolism for the Nordic Commissariat flag. Rather than simply being based on the colours of preexisting countries flags, base it on this. Have yellow and red to symbolize the Kalmar Union. The Kalmar Union was the only time in history that all of the Nordic Countries had a single head of state governing all the nations in the north. And have dark blue and white to symbolize the modern flag of the Nordic Council. Just a thought for some more thoughtful meaningful symbolism than just "use all the existing colours."
The Kalmar Union is not a united scandinavia, but a scandinavia subservient to the danish monarchy. Blue and white are far more appropriate symbolising the nordic council.
@@Valokaari Templin most likely though that Europe was too diverse a place to smoosh together under one centralised government. Hence why we also have the Albion (Great Britain), Balkan and Eurasion Commissariats alongside the European and Nordic Commissariats.
That sounds ineresting at least the symbols of the nordic countries would still be...
I like this one, it's really unique to Hollywood movies at least. And it makes sense that europe of all places would be the origin of the millitary war machine known as the GTU.
I love how they added benefits and negatives to how the nations run, I can't wait to see what kinda benefits or negatives could be added to a completely different nation they may play in the future.
There's a part of me that whenever a Stellar Invicta video comes out, imagines it in the setting of Star Trek.
Some alien race attacks pre warp Earth, and after we fight them off and reverse engineer their tech, we go out as a _militaristic society…_ but not the psychotic Mirror Universe Terran Empire [that was intrinsically unstable and bound to collapse].
Makes a huge change to see a region other than the USA portrayed in sci-fi, and in a positive light as well.
Sometimes we looked to the stars for hope... and for answers... sometimes we didn't like what we found... and while the universe offered us few answers, it was easily willing to confront us with new questions...
I like to think that the polish tank charge had speakers blasting that sabaton song while they had the wings strapped into the turrets
I cannot believe could feel so much patriotism for a fictional commissariat. You guys are amazing storytellers and worldbuilders!
Northern Europe = Berlin?
Me: Laughs in IKEAn
A dialect of dutch?
@@sumoking3002 Swedish
Why are the instructions in french?
[CONFUSED AND DISTRESSED ALIEN SCREAMING]
The Nordic Commissariat is separate from the European one.
The quality of storytelling gives me overwhelming feelings of patriotism for a country that doesn't exist
"The GTU has no patience for this bullshit"
This sound more badass than it has any right to be.
I love the amount of lore you've built up around a simple playthrough.
Yes, finnaly the European commesariat gets a video, wich was great by the way.
I'd never even considered this style/method of presenting a Stellaris campaign until your previous Stellaris Invicta series's.
But.. that's the beautiful thing about Stellaris, ya know? It's that you can make whatever "Head Canon" you like for it, and fully RP as the nation you've created. This is an excellent method of sharing that "Head Canon" with all of us. I'll definitely be watching the next episode(s) when released. :)
It is amazing how an alien invasion is needed to put the bureaucrats and bankers aside and bring out that patriotic determination on which the nations and the European Community were founded.
"The GTU has no time for this bullshit" is now my new favorite quote
This needs a book, my god it's good!
Been trying to write one but still to little information
I must have more Commissariat videos. They’re just too awesome
“The GTU has no patience for this bullshit.”
Now that’s a High Marshall I can stand behind!! 😆
Would love to see a pic of that EuroCorp division soldier belting that Supremacist. That would be an iconic image. And a pic of their commander later in an interview, giving his best Wolverine curled-lip grunt "We don't have time for that bullshit."
when asked about the incident.
Could you imagine a 10 metre mable block with the inscription "THE GTU HAS NO PATIENCE FOR THIS BULLSH*T
Watching this, alongside the video on the United Americas Commissariat, makes me amazed at how there's careful attention given towards showing how each region's history and culture "build" the Greater Terran Union. Makes me even more excited to see how the other Commissariats are built (especially the Eurasian and Pan-Pacific Commissariats, since we keep hearing about their famed industrial capacity 😂).
It'd be interesting to see how these would be crafted, though, given how vastly diverse the politics, cultures, and ideologies are in these continents. 😅
That has made me proud to be a European once again
I like how, in the background music, you can hear the background bass music of the GTU (almost). Goes to show how the Eurocore was what lead to the GTU, due to being one of the most resilient to invasion, and some of the first areas to rebuild were European (including Britain, clearly, seeing as London was the first major city rebuilt). EDIT: also, Albion Commissariat video when?
The *Legendary* Series has Returneth!
Everytime something like this comes on, I go back and rewatch the livestreams. I so want them to do this again!
Ok i am from Berlin abd was just about to sleep and only watch this last vid but the first minute genuinely freaked me out ...
Love to see an Albion commissariat (spelt that wrong I’m sure), great work as always!
Damm, this made me be even more proud to be European, I hope one day a European federation becomes true

This seriously should become a Origin in Stellaris for when you pick Human, Continental World and a light Ethic Focus on Military.
History must never be forgotten
You should do videos on all the commissariats, this video was fascinating and I'd love to see how you handle the others.
This would be beyond epic.
United in Diversity!
Need more of this!
hoo another Stellaris Invicta video nice by the way did see one of No Strings Prd videos about the tiberium and red alert universes you should totally collaborate with him
As a long time table top game geek and lore nerd Iove everyone of these back stories Hopefully you make some sort of codex with all of these in it ..hearing about battles last stands Humanity just fighting to survive and becoming better for it just brings me so much joy .
"the joint italian-spanish landing in Algiers"
yes, these are the heirs of Lepanto.
Another Great Video from the Templin Institute. Good Job!
The Aliens when they hear Ode To Joy: *Angry cat with ptsd*
This video is making me all patriotic for political organisations that don't exist. Born too late to be a Roman citizen, born too early to be a European Federation citizen.
