I've seen that Navis is English, so I'm guessing there's a country representing England/the UK. Perhaps if it's not already taken, mine could represent Germany, or part of it? Seeing what is/isn't available would help. Thanks

We already have Slostia (my nation), Zelensgart, and The Tartyan Confederacy as Germanic nations, but if you wanted to work with us to figure out a proto-culture that would be fine. Also, your nation doesn't have to correspond to any RL country; it can be something completely out of your imagination (within the realistic boundaries of Alterra, of course.)

My language and culture is Germany, French, and Russian mix. Cool flag. Edited by Emerald, Jun 21 2011, 10:52 PM.

My nation uses Mulinavish, a version of Navis that is more British than the Neolantian Navis( being more american). I also have a heavy aristocracy and take inspiration from the British monarchy to create my own. I would say I am 50% England ^^ |

Danann is the proto-Celtic culture, though I don't remember what language they speak. The only other direct correlation I remember is that French is L'esprit. |

Perhaps my nation could be comprised of a Germanic culture that was exiled or split off from either of the three, which over time evolved, perhaps from immigration from a British/Celtic culture, to create a hybrid? I think that could be interesting. |

Laddneia is a sort of Germanic/Soviet/British nation all in one, and Laddneian is rl Finnish... |

Another option would be to have a British/Celtic culture that is colonized by another power. Slostia had some colonization in Liberia and Xia during the 1800s and GL had some colonies IIRC in Northern Zephyria during the 1500s onward. |

Actually our NZ territories were really from the 1920s onwards... |

Right, so Zephyria is like America, and Liberia and Xia are Africa and Asia? |
