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.

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.

10-02-2006, 22:42
Red Tidean Citizens: Rather supressed people who always seem to either A: Be well off or B: Are enemies of the Goverment(depends on who is being broadcasted by Red Tidean News Network).
Red Tidean Soldiers/Sailors/Pilots/Technicians: Men who obey orders all the way up to incapacitation and/or death, usually associated with Human Wave Assaults(Therefore earning the nickname 'MeatPuppets') when, infact, they actually do use tactics.
Red Tidean Inetellegince-Consortium Agents: When it comes to espionage, they suck, the collar instantly gives them away, but when it comes to counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, and Secret Police duties, they perform admirably. Nicknamed 'MeatPuppet-2s'.

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.
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. :(
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.
This is true in the most part, but still a stereotype.

Southeast Asian Stereotypes: Pacifists/Radical left-wingers/Radical Anti-Corporatists/Gholgoth Sycophant-Fellaters/Naive idealistic altruists
Jagites: Hyper-Religious Zealots, Bloodthirsty Extremeists bent on mass conversion by the point of the gun, corporatist scumbags, half-exterminated people with nothing to loose (partly true, but everything else is simply paranoia by foreigners).

Tejanos: Grouchy, foul-mouthed Communists.
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.
Kubra: Everyon'es gas smells like overcooked cabbage that a dog "liberated".
Aegethia

There are other internal stereotypes as well.
