Clanker

An individual who aligns themselves with the ideology that machines are superior to biological entities. as opposed to Darwinism, the belief that biology is superior to industry. A Clanker nation focuses on industrial productivity, using machines to do manual labour and fighting. Though not pretty, Clanker armies are tougher than Darwinist armies, as steel can withstand more than flesh.

Clanker armies use armored walkers, ranging from small scouting units no bigger than horses to massive land-ships that rival their naval counterparts. Of course that also means Clankers are adept in using similarly industrial technologies, such as Tesla cannons and internal combustion engines.

In the novels by Scott Westerfield, the Central Powers nations of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire are exclusively Clanker. the only known hybrid nation mentioned is America, which uses both Clanker and Darwinist machines to suit whatever role it feels best.

a Clanker Nation is one where heavy industry and machines are the dominant economic and military force:

the 1914 Kaiser-Reich German Empire is a Clanker Nation, using such machines as the Dreadnought class SMS Beowulf, a landcruiser decorated with 10 17 inch cannons.

Canterbury High School

Canterbury High School / an Ottawa-Carleton District School Board high school near Elmvale and Billings bridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The school was opened in 1969, and has over 1400 students. Its sports teams are "The Chargers". Canterbury High School includes a lot of black and Arab immigrants as well as posh white richies in the arts program. Canterbury students are both afraid and are disgusted by the neighbouring Hillcrest students as they are promiscuous. The sports teams in general suck, but do okay in some sports such as swimming. Canterbury has argueably the best arts program in the region (next to the frenchie school DeLaSalle) and it attracts snobby anorexic dancers, obnoxiously loud actors, high visual students, gay vocal students, and random muscians from all over. This is a very white population and about 0.000000006 people in it are not white. The walls are covered with lots of awesome artowrk and the halls are full of crazy people. It's a very friendly environment in general. It's full of gay boys and beautiful girls and is a great place for a straight guy to come and all the girls there are desperate and even a mediocre guy has 3 girls after him. Couples have sex in the hallways sometimes, especially the drama stairwell. A good place in general.

P1. Wow your crazy, which high school do you go to?
