Kasim Sul Nahr
09-02-2006, 04:13
Kasimians (the general citizen) suffer from cynicism. And pessimism.

The Aristrocracy is generally insane with power - vying for more is the aim. Don't think that makes them stupid.

The Emperor is old, senile, and advised by members of the Aristocracy. Nuff said.

Kasimians from the free world openly despise the latter two, and have a strong tendency to burn Aristocrats.

Beth Gellert
09-02-2006, 04:27
Well, perhaps it is more the place of foreigners to express preconceptions about the Beddgelen people, but an educated guess at a likely stereotype would be, perhaps, "giant drunken communards"

Honestly, make a few/all policy decisions through popular congress after toasting -with a tankard of undiluted wine- all power to the soviets!-, while averaging as a race almost two metres in height, and suddenly people are getting all sorts of funny ideas about you.

Stereotype: Higher-than-thou nobles who consider themselves better than the outside world. Their ability to be rude is only equaled by the enigma surrounding them and their intelligence.

MassPwnage
11-06-2006, 01:41
I guess the biggest primary stereotype about a Pwnage resident is that he or she is a totally amoral, oversexed drug addict. To some extent, I guess this is true, but the Pwnage aren't just about sex, drugs and rock n' roll, it's the just the tourists that come looking for that crap.
Romanar
11-06-2006, 01:56
The North Romanarians, who control the country, have a reputation as greedy, corrupt, and somewhat inept warmongers. I'm sure the fact that our former president had to resign amidst allegations of accepting bribes after starting a Civil War with the South didn't help that rep. :(
Maraque
11-06-2006, 02:17
Maraqueans: Arrogent rich people who don't know the true meaning of work because the government will take care of you even if you don't.

ChevyRocks
11-06-2006, 19:13
Chevrokians: Love democracy, until it's inconvenient for them. Many are completely oblivious to events occuring outside of the country despite the news broadcasts. A good number of people complain about the "overspending" on national defense. The others like the overspending, because it results in large numbers of jobs in defense industries which have very healthy paychecks.

Errikans: Intelligent and hard working but imperialistic, jingoistic, xenophobic, culturally chauvinistic, gun-toting, Christian fundamentalist capitalists who love their country, their military and their police but hate government in general.

Southern Errikans (people from the southernmost provinces of Errikland proper, where most of the wine is grown) hold the stereotype in Errikland of being excessively laid-back and wine-drinking. There are other internal stereotypes as well.
