About

A Young Woman's Political Record is a fanfiction inspired by Youjo Senki, also known as The Saga of Tanya the Evil. Posted on SpaceBattles from 2018 to 2020, it became well known both within the Youjo Senki fandom and a prominent part of SpaceBattles' culture, spawning waves of recursive artwork and fanfiction.

History

Youjo Senki was originally a web novel published in 2010 by Carlo Zen before being adapted to the light novel format in 2013, a manga in 2016, and an anime in 2017. It is an Isekai story in which a Japanese salaryman, following their murder, is reincarnated as a girl in a fantasy version of early twentieth-century Germany. Recognizing the similarities between her new home and the First World War, the story chronicles her attempts to avoid the dangers of military life.

jacobk was a fairly well-established fanfiction author by 2018, having written fanfiction about Naruto, Harry Potter, and Worm fandoms since at least 2011. On July 18th, 2018, he posted the first chapter of A Young Woman's Political Record^[1] on SpaceBattles. Over the following two years, a total of fifty-seven chapters were posted, totaling approximately 310 thousand words.

The premise of A Young Woman's Political Record is as follows:

Following the Germanian Empire's defeat and collapse into several smaller states, a teenage Tanya Degurechaff enters politics out of a simple desire to earn a simple living. Much to their dismay, they become a prominent figure in Germanian politics.

I'm With Her. Are You? 2661146 TANYA DEGURECHAFF AND THE GERMANIAN WORKERS PARTY DENOUNCE THE TREATY OF TRIANO: p.m. on at The Treaty of Triano is illegal: The Legadonia Entente started the war based on a territorial dispute. Under the Treaty of Worms the final settlement of a war must relate to the initial casus belli. The Treaty of Triano is unjust: Napoleon drowned the world in blood as he attempted to put Europe under the yoke of tyranny. When he was defeated the Francois nation was left intact. The Germanian nation expanded according to international law and was dismembered in a fit of pique by the Francois. The Treaty of Triano is dangerous: The Germanian people have been left vulnerable to conquest by any would-be master of Europe. If the Treaty of Triano is left in place then we will surely suffer another invasion in due time. THE GERMANIAN WORKERS PARTY IS THE ONLY PARTY THAT WILL RENOUNCE THE TREATY OF TRIANO WITHOUT RESERVATION
