There isn't really a lot that the nine worlds can all compete in. They're all rather specialised in what they do. Avernus would win in any sporting matches (except maybe against Jotunheim), Svartalfheim would outdo all others in craftsmanship, and Midgard would take the floor at anything not specialised in by other worlds by sheer dint of having such a large talent pool.

I don't know, Avernites might not do so well in the water sports category. In fact, how would Avernites react to swimming pools?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Blink Spiders can resist drowning for extended periods of time, walk on water, or do eight-legged breaststrokes or something, the little monsters.

Midguard would probably be able to compete just by sheer weight on numbers inevitably producing some really talented athletes.

Eh, but those athletes don't get the same awesome health care, don't spend every day trying to survive, and probably don't eat as well.

Unless I'm mistaken there must be a middle class between nobility and the unwashed masses in a hive. These people will eat fine, and even if they don't spend every day trying to survive they spend everyday training in their sport. This is probably better training for the vast majority of sports, such as Javelin. When the hell will an Avernite ever touch a javelin?

So how about we chop off some of Frederick's limbs and replace them with prosthetics? It'll make our limbs stronger, eliminate pain if they were to be injured, and decreases our chance of bleeding to death by not having as many vulnerable arteries. AdMech could make some pretty sophisticated and inconspicuous prosthetics back in M41 (when they wanted to), imagine what they can do now with all this Dark Age tech!
Decisions like that are subject to veto from the wife (and probably the daughter).
Edit: Also OC for Rotbart, he only replaces what he loses, he doesn't try to optimize his body beyond what personal training can accomplish.

Yup. The Swiss model.
Most dangerous mercenaries in history.
Banned by the Geneva Convention.
(No really, the Geneva Convention includes a clause saying that Swiss Mercenaries can only be hired as bodyguards for the King of France and the Pope).

Waaaiiit a minute! Wasn't the french royal lineage extinct at this point? Was it a 'just in case' clause, or what?
I suppose that would make some sense, the goverenment of the time was supposed to only be provisional until they could find a new king, and Napoleon hadn't been that long ago, I suppose...

you expect that their training modifier will reach at least +150
, so far no other worlds are planning on introducing either the Avernite military training techniques or the Muspelheim education curriculum though several are planning on watered down versions

- America
For their militia or for their standard military?

Since Avernite-model militia system encompasses the entire population, it'd be for both.
Muspelheim also gives Juvnats to the entire population. They're going to be very scary.

At some point we should try to expand our juvenat fabrics to supply more people.

We're currently supplying to our first-line and second-line troops and our top Admin adepts. The two remaining options are to supply it to our top educators and our top doctors.
The top people in the first two and all of the latter probably get it - it's a small enough group it doesn't need to be administered through an action.

Kinda belated response, but I see what you did there. I see it.
