Discordantia, officially The People's Democratic Republic Of Discordantia Which Is Totally Not Totalitarian, is the nation bordering Centralia to the east. Discordantia is led by the evil (but incompetent) SupremeLeaderMalice.
Geography
The Centralia–Discordantia border was meant to be a true meridian, but due to error in early surveying techniques, the border deviates from true north by 0° 59' 24" to the east.
Relationship with Centralia
Supreme Leader Malice considers Centralia and Discordantia to be rival nations, but in reality, the rivalry is quite one-sided, as PrincessAlice's official stance on Discordantia is "That place exists, I guess."
Unlike Centralia, which borders the ocean and has several islands, Discordantia is a landlocked country, which makes Malice irrationally jealous. Malice has made it her life goal to capture the Centralian coastline and construct massive shipping ports, but unsurprisingly, she has been unsuccessful in these plans so far. Also, Centralia already has massive shipping ports, but I guess Malice doesn't know that.
Salem railroad crossings
Curiously, the village of Salem, Centralia (a small suburb of QueenCity) exclusively uses imported Discordantian warning signals at their railroad grade crossings. When Princess Alice asked TzeTze for the reasoning behind this arrangement, he offered the following explanation:
Alice: Remind me again why the railroad crossings in Salem, Centralia use imported crossing signals from Discordantia? Those are really hard to find replacement parts for and they're all starting to fall apart.
Tzetze: It's stipulated by ancient treaties, signed in the blood of men and snakes, that the Salem crossings use only those parts specified by the local covens, lest the Dread Machine spoken of only obliquely return to damn the earth again.
Tzetze: Currently the covens are represented by the Sisterhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainwitches (Local #868), which gets kickbacks from Discordantia. It's a problem
Alice: Oh, the SLET! That organization whose sign keeps getting vandalized by someone painting a U over the E.
Tzetze: they need the kickbacks to pay for the sign replacement. resentment over the kickbacks motivates vandals. it's a vicious cycle
