I've been on Ns for a while and thought, that nations similar to Greece or She's a second Russia. So, i started this thread to ask, Who do you think you are?
Solenial = Norway

i like to think of my nation as what would have happened if the USSR had had a controlled free market economy.

A mix of the USSR, Modern Germany and a few Scandinavian nations plus my own personal touch.

Hmm...my country's a pretty wierd mix.
Old British culture (high importance placed on manners, education and dress - all in a style typified by the British), but with a very socialist (unelected) government - it controls public transport and utilities, healthcare, etc - the necessary things. However, unlike the more heavy RL socialist governments, criticism of the government is allowed, and it listens. The populace is often asked to fill in questionnaires regarding government services, and concerns are addressed in a Government Public Announcement that follows shortly after. Fairly imperialistic, highly moralistic - if we don't like what a government does, we'll let them know about it, and morals within the government are often absolute - not something shared by the populace, we might add.
Not like any country I've ever heard of.

Well, I'm racist, openly imperial, corporate, nationalist, and religious. Maybe some sort of US/UK combo with more liberal Nazis in charge.

It's true, though.
A bit of Pakistani, Chinese, US and NS military, and then Turkey, inflated Cuba, and Pakistan geographically.

Yeah, but America didn't threaten to throw nukes about, nor was it jumped on umpteen times by nations umpteen times bigger than itself, to be fair.

I'm agreeing with ya guys! xD That, and America doesn't have George Bush get killed in a diplomat meeting and then magically coming back to life...:D

Mine's a mish mash really.
The manners are Old British, but with showing your opinions taken to the extreme. IE insulting people when they are asking for it, and also a disregard for rules that get in the way. It is also slightly technophobic as well.
My capital city is like Naples mixed with Venice and Victorian London. Old buildings, lots of rivers and canals, abandoned flooded areas, heavy industry, but some very nice districts.
The country is basically a bit like rainforest-less Malaysia in the north, a mountainous version of Yorkshire in the Middle, with plenty of Heathland, and to the south a Cornwall, but with large cities.
The government is much like a more efficient version of Fascist Italy, basically.
Roman Republic

Look at my nation's name. That should give you a clue. But, my nation's culture mirrors that of USA and India's, especially the race which is Indo-Iranian and language which is both Hindi and Latin. My country's government is like the US, but I run it like Saddam Hussein and somewhat like Hitler.
My territory resembles Italy... My nation resembles them in some fashions, but also Switzerland. I generally remain neutrail in wars, and will do business with just about anyone.

Mine is a work in progress-I started using the Byzantines as a template, currently I think it looks more like preRoman Celts, and who knows what it'll morph into?
We've got a Russian culture/language, a free-market US-style economy, West African climate, and a political system that is a combination of ancient Rome and modern-day Belarus.
Canada, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, United States, Japan, and the UK.
Similar home and foreign policy to Canada, with the added capability of actually being able to fight a war if need be.

My nation is a strange ethnic mix of UK, US, Russia, and a little of Japan. Our economy is capitalist with a lot of worker benefits, so I guess you could call it balanced. That's pretty much it.

Imagine ancient Egypt as it was during the 18th Dynasty - add on roughly 3,000 years, include modern technology and an advanced free-market economy, throw in some more modernised laws, justice systems and greater social freedoms, and you've pretty much got it.

Southeastasia
04-09-2007, 06:41
RL Southeast Asia, albeit unified, modernizing and slowly rising. Influences come from British law and United States/European Union federal law. Southeastern Asian cultures (e.g., Javan-based, Chinese and Thai to name a few) are predominant, though the West has had it's legacies...
Aside from certain, somewhat obvious, differences, Reloria takes many cues from Mediterranean cultures, particularly in architecture, while its economy is closer to those of the Anglosphere, with a balance between free market, worker's rights and welfare. However, other than these few points there are few similarities with RL countries.
Kulikovia

Kulikovia is based off of Russia and Germany with Scandinavian democratic socialism.
Well I'd say Bynamar is most like Iran.
then I'd say I have the military of Iran. Bynamar hates the U.S. just like Iran and a number of other countries. And Bynamar's size is about the size of Syria. So I'd say we are most like Middle-eastern countries.

The United States without George W. Bush and people like him.
A sort of tropical island like Brazil, who have pulled their finger out and actually got their economy going without corruption.
Mine's Israel; Imperialist, and in a bit of an ethnic conflict; in my case between the Arabs, Zansk (descendants of invaders from Europe) and the native Gharrakan race in my nation.

Granduchy of Tuscany in XVIII century, Napoleonic France, Joseph II Austria, Venice Saint Mark Republic.
A benevolent yet autocratic regime. An evolution from the massive lies and failures of democracy.
culturally and geograhically Northern Mediterranean (Northern Italy, Southern France, Catalonia)
I don't really have an RL equivilant, unless there's some sort of Goblin nation out there that we know nothing of, however, I do hold links to a sort of mixed Siberian/3rd World African nation.
