My nation is like that cranky old man with the shot gun, yelling at all the kids to stay off his lawn. |

Anu-Asiya
|
Anu-Asiya is if you make Iran into a pagan theocracy, with the media and economy of Japan, so crazy shows and anime, lots of hightech and stuff. The language is based on Old North Arabian languages. |

The Dominion of Lux de Bestias

Luxian language is a very bastardized version of Latin with some Greek thrown in for good measure. |

Ruler of The Republic of Vantel
|
Vantel is a pretty unique mix, drawing from an early American historical (Think lost colony of Roanoke) themes but then drawing on some Brazillian and an Age of Myth pseudo-Russian Steampunk civilization. Otherwise, Vantel is politically like the US but with British nomenclature for positions, originally I had planned for the military to be like the Japanese Defense Force but then I got tired of not being able to participate in any of the historical wars so I made my self stronger in general to what it is today. Socially my country is a Brazil-US mix drawing from our native cultures but also from Neolantia's US-like properties since we've been so close. Sort of like the UK's inheriting of American traits but with their own spin on it. |

Amoratae Dea Augusta

Given the proto culture I've been using for Japan, it would be interesting to coordinate on that culture. |

No, we founded ourselves after we fought you off. You pretty much took our politics with another name when you stopped being a total Monarchy. Also: look at most Fast food and Junk food labels. Either they are American, or they've been renamed but are run by Americans |

Zelensgart is kind of like a cross between the Levant and the Caucasus if they were colonised by Germany. |

Well my government is like a non-ideological one party state, rulled by the United Iyori party, which are basically pragmatist and centristsn, but can be ruthless, like the United Russia Party. Socio-Culturally mine is an Asian country mosty influenced of that of Japan and South Korea, with an economic model of that of a fusion of Japan, South Korea in terms of production, output and fiscal policies, but with the same social and welfare policies that of Scandinavia. Aesthitically, religiously, linguistically and other aspects of culture however are all Japanese and Korean. |
