What nations inspired your NS one?

[Serconea]

Which RL countries is your country strongly based on?

Serconea is based on a number of Eastern European states, esp. the Czech Republic and Slovenia.

[New Age Guilds]

new age guilds is kind of based on sort of ancient north african nations, like eygypt not pharoe times, more tudor, british empire. i imagine my leader like a sultan and all the guildhals loooking like something from aladin

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

I was thinking Big Brother with a political correct bent. It's based on jokes and rantings that are mine.

[Down under there]

My nation is based on how I wish America would be like. But no one listens to me.
I guess it doesn't help that my economy is Basket Case, but my citizens are among the happiest in the region. And that's what's important. I think.

[Parthini]

Name is based on the Parthians, Persians, but I found out there was a Parthini Tribe!!

My country is based on the Medieval Russia and a bit of Byzantium, plus some British. And strangely, more and more my people are looking Chinese...

GPP

[Re-Yupanqui]

My name, as you people may know, is based on one of the Sapa Incas, Topa Inca Yupanqui... I guess I kinda based my nation on the Incans, and partly on Russia... CAR-azy....

[Sheynat]

My nation was inspired by me drinking three Mountain Dews and eating a lot of sugar and me wondering what America would have been like if the Pilgrims had been Muslim.

[Re-Yupanqui]

Sheynat, are you sure you don't need to lie down...?

[Tognatia]

Well mine, Tognatia is kinda from Tonga, and i spose that because when playing some card game where u choose a country to represent I always choose tonga (absolutly no idea why...), and thus thats where it from..

Although I could just be weird seeing i have a lesbian puppet nation Lesbozia...

[Boolari]

My nation's name was thought of randomly and something I became quickly attached to.

As for what my nation is based on... Probably like San Francisco, California - just on a larger scale. Very larger scale. ;D

[Re-Yupanqui]

LOL I lovelovelove San Fransisco! It's an awesome place!

[BealtleManium]

Mine is based off of what it would be like if people such as JFK and John Lennon weren't assainated

[Heftig]

My nation is based on Springfield...
Almost anything is possible there...

[Cyper]

The Kingdom of Red and Whites.

My kingdom is based on my own kingdom. Which means that Red and Whites is based on the kingdom, of which I live in, in real life. This kingdom is Denmark.

Denmark is a little kingdom situated in the north of Europe. It is officially ruled by her majesty the Queen Margrethe the II. But in real life it is the parlement, who passes laws and so on. Onlt 5,5 mio people live in Denmark. Although we are a little country, we are very much involved in worldpolitics. We sent soldiers to Bosnia, Iraq and many other countries.

[bluesavannah]

Hi

I was introduced to NS from another game and a group of them have a region, its very quiet and nothing ever happens except we deal with our issues, my Nation there is based upon the UK/USA and seems to have very little rights or freedoms.

I decided to make another nation to participate more in the game and leave the old one just supporting its 'dead' region so Blue Savannah was born (the name was taken from the song)

Blue Savannah is a nomadic people less developed than UK/USA but they seem happier with more freedoms, interesting.

I am from England myself by the way, pleased to meet you all.

Blue.

[Down under there]

Hello Blue Savannah, glad you could join our region

[bluesavannah]

Hi, Down under there, pleased to be here and pleased to meet you ;D

[Perugio]

A mixture of Italy and Singapore.

[Riddimach]

Rohan. Riddimach is Rohim for Rohan.

[The Peoples of Yavanna]

Nice to see a fellow Tolkien fiend in 10K Islands!

The Peoples of Yavanna is based on an idea of a modern age government with deep roots in Middle-Earth. The very short version: In the 7th age (over a thousand years after the crowning of Aragorn) the descendents of Eldarion and Elfwine, along with their loyal supporters, had to flee the now quite corrupt Imperial Commonwealth of Gondor and set sail for fairer lands.

The re-established government saw its responsibilities being: The care for its people (especially education and healthcare), care for the environment, and the aid and liberation of poorer, oppressed countries.

I don't know if I consciously modeled The Peoples of Yavanna after any real world country; I do know that, in keeping with the basic tenants of Yavanna's history, that making decisions based on the environment, healthcare, education, ect. occassionally gets my nation into trouble economically on NS!

[Henneth annun]

Wow! I made mine called henneth annun, becuase It too is a real name of and Island in The Auduin!

I also based my island on Singapore.

[Riddimach]

"Riders of Rohan! What news from the Riddimach!?"

also, note my flag...

Middle Earth countries of Nation States, unite!

[Bratesbourgh]

Hello all,

I would say my country is sorta based on an interesting look and feel for what early Puritan Colonies, and a bit Amish/early Pennsylvania systems of laws are about. I'm sorta starting out in a Grand Duchy system, with a Parliament, and may gradually RP it shifting over into a Commonwealth full of conservative/religious/moral democrats that like political freedom, but tries its damn best to remove vices and temptations that move people into dangerous states of being that destroy the harmony and prosperity of their dream utopic world.
(Of course, I think this is almost impossible in silly in my RL world, but hey, why not RP it.)
We may be strict in expression and stamp out vice, but we make fantastic, loyal, and very dedicated workers and soldiers to defend their faith.

[Bonaduce Alander]

My nations is based off an R.A. Salvatore character named Alabaster Bonaduce. Then I took Islander and mixed it. Mine is kinda based off Oregon's upper mountians region when it was barely touched by humans.

My origninal NS nation is called Mathom, which you should recognise^*, and is in the East Pacific. I also run Gorgie-Dalry (my UN nation) in The Proletarian Coalition.

Aran Island is named for the Aran Islands off County Clare in Eire, which is the cultural feel I'm aiming for.
The landscape there is one of bleak rock and thousands of dry stone walls - I was amazed when the NS engine gave me exactly the right write-up. Psychic computers, yet!

* For non Middle-Earthers, a mathom is a gift which keeps getting passed round because no-one likes it enough to keep it.

[Alfonia]

Alfonia is based on toads and elderberries.
Really it is based a bit on Sweden, and a bit on Japan (where I got the emperor thing from). I like to say Alfonia is Sweden ruled by a mad emperor.
