Maybe I'm OCD for this but, it always annoys me when in the nation's description it says something like it does in mine about the National Animal:
"The Far Echo Islands national animal is the artic seal which frolics freely in the nations many lush forests..."

I was thinking that it would not be too hard to have a little box beside where we write in our national animal that says something like "land animal" or "water animal" and in the descriptions it says something like "The Far Echo Islands national animal is the artic seal whici frolics freely in the nation's vast oceans."

And if you really wanted to make it right you could put a box to say if it lived in the forest or in the tundra and it would pretty much the same, but tundras instead of forests. But I'd be satisfied with just water or land animal options.

There are no plans to do anything like this. And, frankly, if we allowed "land" and "water", we'd soon find ourselves flooded with requests for rivers, lagoons, lakes, seas, oceans, misc. fresh water, misc. salt water, forests, jungles, swamps, plains, prairies, steppes, permafrost, and so on.

Just think of it as an esoteric species of artic seal that lives in the forest. Or change your animal.

Could be worse. My people are sea-creatures and shouldn't even have forests. But if we did, all those whales frolicing in them would be hard on the trees. Not to mention the visual image it gives me! :D

Kelp forests, I suppose...
