What is a common thing or trope that always seem to happen?

It would be interesting if part of the reason pureblood families are so reactionary is that they feel they are being colonized by first generation mages. There is a class aimed at the normal world, where is the class "the introductory to the customs and norms of the magical world".

Yeah the magical world might end up as just a extension of the human world's culture through the children of normal humans that were raised in the human world before being sent there to be treated as equals of the "pure" magic families
That is one aspect I never see being taken into account

I think both Augustus and Pedro serve as examples of what enlightened "ideal" rulers would look like in the real world, with real human flaws and such
As both were "engineered" by their environment to be the "perfect" monarch of their respective societies(Rome & Brazil) and did fairly well, living up to most's expectations but still ultimately failing at securing their countries's futures and at being as flawless as their followers thought they to be

The third world is always doomed to poverty or irrelevance. Some areas can’t do better they must always fail. Africa will Balkanize or be ignored entirely.

Also a pet peeve is when people do a socialist nation and IMMEDIATELY pivot from the economic form into a free market. Ignoring the 16,000 different things to try first. Or Ignore one party systems or even defensive multi party systems for these governments. The Westminster system is the only governing system that all nations must strive to.

Always pisses me off
Makes AH look more like "America & Europe and friends"
There's can never be another superpower and even greater powers must be content to not be balkanized
And as a rule of thumb the scramble always happens

that would explain the reason for the obsession with blood. Pure blood in this case would be natives who are losing their culture in this example. Hermione, when she finds out about the elves and what their role is in society, rejects them for not being accepted in the normal world. If a child reacts to that, imagine an adult. Now imagine if the new year wizard starts with a sacrifice to a strange tree. The chaos that was going to be, accusations of Satanism among other things.

the fact that they don't have classes for the magic custom and culture is horrible. And if, for example, offering your hand first to an older person or a person of higher rank in society will be seen as the same as having scolded and spit on the person's entire family line. The problem that would cause

Not even that most of the time.....its just kind of ignored and never really elaborated on in the slightest. Its kind of like the New Zealand of Africa now that I think about it doomed to always be the same in basically ever single timeline.

I swear I have yet so see a timeline where it isn't colonised by either Britain or absorbed into Australia

Liberia remains in limbo like irl Liberia when they first declared independence. The usa doesn’t recognize it and funny enough many alt history writers don’t either lmao.

There’s no Strong UN (e.g globally set migration or trade policy) or true world government (that isn’t just an extension of one country’s will)
