A background character in the IOT spin-off Multipolarity II, a scholar of international affairs and political science professor at Belgrade University. He is considered the foremost expert on the collapse of the international order that preludes the game's setting, and is the in-universe author of the opinion editorial "Sanctifying Satan", denouncing the aggressive revisionism of christos200's Empire of China and its attempt to rehabilitate the mass-murdering maniac George I from the first game as part of its culture war against the Federal Union.

Though never completed, I had sketched out a roleplay tract as an excerpt from his 3007 book A Tragic Myopia: The Decline of Internationalism, intended to elaborate a recurring reference to "Tippett's Coup": the eponymous UN Secretary-General came to power in 2823 as the vanguard of a "regionalist" lobby that sought to dismantle the multilateral "post-national" world order established at the end of the Multipolarity Epilogue (the "Pax Democratica"). Despite only serving a single term, Tippett succeeded in eroding UN authority from within, fomenting a return to strongman nationalism and rogue corporatism subsequently exacerbated by the "Fourth Cataclysm" immediately preceding the game proper, as embodied by the "Big Five" NPCs and "sovereigntist" player states such as Russia and Katterland.

• The surname Karađorđević was suggested by NedimNapoleon during private consultation; he advised it as meaning "black farmer". I later realized it is the dynastic name of the deposed Serbian royal family.
• The choice of a Serbian scholar critiquing Imperial nostalgia was done with intent, drawing a poetic contrast between a country historically tied to mass atrocity that had (ostensibly) overcome its demons, and the Empire's resurgent cult of violence.

Liang Zheng
A pre-Cataclysm psychology student who attended a lecture by Karađorđević on the legacy of Tippett's Coup, inspiring him to channel his degree into political science. Achieved international profile as co-author with German political scholar Johann Richter of M.A.D. Men, an interdisciplinary study of the "perfect storm" of national agendas and psychotic leadership that begat the nuclear holocausts in the original Multipolarity. Followed up post-Cataclysm with The Madness of King George: The Cult of the Xiang Dynasty, a dedicated analysis of how Monarchist revanchism had mutated over the millennium into a literal state religion.
