Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Pretty much every empire stopped existing forty years ago. We've currently got the Falklands, Gibraltar, and some places in the Caribbean.

Welcome to SE!
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

I would just like to see the Navi fail because they are over-emotional, ignorant, and illogical. They deserve their tree be destroyed.

Think about it, they tie up the two trying to save them, act like whiney children, then when they finally realize they're screwed they beg for help. be glad I wasn't him, I would've have just pulled a Cartman.

I can understand wiping out the HomeTree tribe, but I'd leave the others alone.

Gentlemen, I present my outline for Avatar 2: The Second Na'vi War.
Posted Image
After the RDA's defeat the company was divided up and nationalized for the most part, leaving the world without any source of unobtainium. Facing an global energy crisis the United Commonwealth of Nations, financial supported by ASEAN, the Congo and Australasia launched a mission to secure unobtainium by diplomatic or military means.
The flotilla of 1 cruiser and 5 armed minding ships arrived in October 2172 and began exploration. Soon they found a plateau, with exploitable deposits of unobtainium. The plateau turned out to have a cultural isolated tribe of Na'vi on it. Due to the geography of the region the flora of the plateau could not interact with the flora below, thus creating a biological Intranet, isolated from Eywa.
Contact with the pastoral Arkcaya was on the whole friendly, who allowed mining to take place on their lands in exchange for trade and technological assistance.
Jake Sully in the decades following the expulsion of the RDA had not been idle and had united the various tribes in the vicinity of Hell's Gate into the Pandorian Confederation. He was deeply concerned by the Commonwealth's activities. Fearing that humans would gain a foothold on Pandora he requested the Commonwealth to leave peacefully several times. When it became apparent the Commonwealth was here to stay, war was inevitable.
Making the most of abandoned RDA equipment and superior numbers the Pandorians attacked the Arkcaya, winning several early victories until on December the 10th, 2173 9,000 Pandorian warriors met 1,200 Arkcayans at the Battle of Blood Valley. The Arkcayans lured the Pandorians into the valley when the Commonwealth's Autonomous Super Heavy Tank, along with 5 main battle tanks and 12 APC attacked them from the rear, killing almost 3,000 warriors in the space of an hour.
Unwilling to surrender, the Pandorians continued the fighting for several more months until the fortress of Hell's Gate fell and Sully was captured and force to acknowledge he had no jurisdiction over the Arkcaya or their lands.
After the war the Arkcayan clans united into the Arkcayan Kingdom which applied for Commonwealth membership and was provisionally accepted soon after.

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

I like it. Just make the Na'vi plausible by:

1. Giving them an extra pair of eyes
2. Giving them two or three extra fingers
3. Giving them the Pandoran breathing chambers

Do those things, and you have a better plot than "Avatar".

But then that would be an original film, and what's the point of making them?

I'm going back to basics.

Maybe add a vestigial 3rd limb pair?

What does that matter when they are being crushed under the mighty treads of a Säbelzahnkatzen III. It's all a blue-y red mush in the end.
