I hope I don't find some cheap headphones better than my expensive ones. I will be very unhappy!

I have no knowledge of Nebraska :P We tend to do yankie accents quite stereotypically E.g. Texan cowboy or New Yoryykers
Just as I have no knowledge of where Liverpool is :P All my knowledge of England's actual geography comes from the latin classes I took in my freshman yer of high school. We studied Roman Europe quite alot.

It might be a bit small, and slightly crudely drawn, but here it is:

Spoiler: click to toggle


I have the beginnings of a history starting in my mind. I think having fantasy beasts like trolls would be a really fun edition, it would be great to have them in a modern setting! Also, I've tried not to base countries too much on Earth's countries, but forgive me if there are some similarities :P

Also, how far back in time would you want the history to start from? Thinking in terms of centuries :)

I also have a vague idea of where natural resources are and who has what. Get back to me on that one :P

Haha, you don't want to know where it is, just to avoid it :P I did very little on the Romans in school unfortunately :(

Looks great!! :D
So fantasy beasts: tick.
As far back as you like mate, what will the starting date be? It all depends on how long we've existed as a country etc I suppose

Well maybe the northern part should be colonized-turned counties that has only about two centuries of history that they pay attention to? Maybe have the Frost Trolls on reservations. Have like a week in elementary school devoted to studying Frost Troll history then just ignoring it till college? (That's a reference to American history and the Native Americans :P )

Yeah, the northern bit being colonised sounds great. Maybe the weather/wildlife is a bit more harsh/dangerous over there? Yet they risk it for... something? :P

EDIT: on second thought... maybe that's something that should be rolled for, the severity of the wildlife/weather?

You would think that since all your countries over there in a way stem from them, you would know a bit more about them :P

Random note, Over in the area of Kentucky I am in, a way for a middleschooler call someone old is to ask "Who was the holy roman emperor when you where my age?"

You would think so, wouldn't you? Most of history taught over here in school is about WW1/WW2 and a general overview of the rest of history like the invasions of England by Normans or the Egyptian's strange history. Stuff like the wars with France are barely even touched upon, if at all!

Haha very strange :P

The northern countries actually were colonised in the past, but have become independent nations in the last few centuries :P

I need a bit of help quickly: I can only think of two resources (oil and timber) but i cant think of any other main ones. I dont want too many resources, or it gets a bit hectic, but around three or four more should be enough :)

Well your schools are obviously brain washing facility'z... or your government just feels that going over ALL of your MANY MANY wars with people you currently consider alies would send the wrong message. America doesn't have much at all to talk about as far as history besides the revolution, colonization, civil war, and WW1/2 as far as things it would have to be concerned about in that respect.
