Emigrants From Punksteema

Those who've been diligently wading through my isolated world of Punksteema will remember that this alternate Earth is totally unlike us geographically but very much like us in racial and cultural diversity. For instance, Jesus is known here as "Ishwa," but Punksteeman Bible translators (notably "The Alliance of Faith") know Whom they believe.

Punksteema began to get UN-isolated only after one good-aligned winged demigod, the Colorless Quetzalcoatl, was called by God to set sail for the wide-open Milky Way Galaxy. When the wicked wizard Jaheg-Jorod was slain by Sir Ronald of Goliad, Punksteema's spiritual atmosphere became SO MUCH healthier that it could spare still more of its superhuman protectors.

I remind readers that Punksteema's rotational period is so much faster than ours that it forces watersheds from north and south to form one vast Equatorial Ocean. The south continent is called Wellvernia (a play upon H. G. Wells and Jules Verne), while the north continent is Arcondoyla (for Arthur Conan Doyle).

There's a ton of pastiche to be had, including takeoffs upon "The Witcher," "Gormenghast," Japanese myths, Jane Austen books, and Shaolin monks. Involved in several of these plot threads is my version of John Wick, renamed Jonawiku. As years pass, with "Captains of Skilled Labor" growing more important in Punksteeman societies, there is less need for a jujitsu expert; so Jonawiku will be reassigned in the galaxy at large.........
