My national animal is the ant. It is a protected species, and is one of the greatest organisms on the planet. Read Empire of the Ants by Bernard Werber for proof.

My national motto is "Ageometrietos medeis eisito.", which was supposedly at the entrace to the Academia, Plato's school, and roughly means "Let none enter ignorant of geometry."

National Animal: Otter

Why: Because otters are hardworking, creative and stand on their own two little feet. They are innovative, adaptable and use their surrounding for support. Overall, they are the ideal animal.

Plus they are sooooooooooooo cute!

National Animal: Wolf, and yes, it is a protected species.
IC reason for it- Wolves are seen as the noble creatures, and have been one of the symbols of Callisdrun for millenia.
OOC reason for it- Wolves are my favorite animals.

National Motto: "Carpe Noctum"
Meaning- "Seize the night." ;)
Irony Fist
04-12-2004, 09:52
Irony Fist's national animal is the zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

"Obay the Fist!"

National animal: Vietcong (solely for the "which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests" line in the description ;))

Motto: "In Mike we trust. All others are shot."

National Animal: Siberian Tiger

I chose the Siberian Tiger, because it's my RL favorite animal; while I'd like to say it's a protected species in my country, my national description usually contradicts that.

National Motto: "Whatever happens here, stays here... most of the time."

I was thinking of Las Vegas for some reason or other, and I thought about how secrets never leave Sin City, but unforutunately, how all secrets eventually get out in time.

Wookies are awsome

Motto: You can't understand a users mind
Marshan Duque
05-12-2004, 04:08
The Two-Headed Turtle, because it would be the mascot of the Procrastinator's Society, if anyone ever took the time to organize it, it is also on my national flag.
Marshan Duque's motto is "Never do today what you can forget about forever."
Akaton
05-12-2004, 04:12
Animal: The Zombie Hippie
Reason: The Emperor executed a few thousand environmentalists a while back and the dead don't always stay down in Akaton. Since there are almost no other animals living in Akaton's industrial wastes (the entire nation), it made sense for them to be the national animal. They are certainly not protected, being more of an infestation than a wild animal.

Motto: Virtus y Malus et Aequalis (means good and evil are equal)
Reason: It seemed appropriate given Akaton's evil behavior around the time I wrote it. While Akaton is less evil now, the motto sounds good, so it remains.
Death and Hatred
05-12-2004, 04:14
The Devil, it's so cute with its little red horns and the pitchfork it uses to stab small children and other annoying things.
No, it isn't a protected species. If it can't survive without sucking money out of my economy it deserves to die.

My motto is: "If it lives, kill it. If it does not, kill it again" Just think how great the world would be if everyone pathetic enough to believe this killed themselves!

way to rip off Warhammer.
He meant to the "only in death does duty end" thing.

National animal: the undying aborted fetus. If you ever need to keep from sleeping, imagine one of those climbing a tree, eating a mother bird one piece at a time, then swallowing the mother bird's eggs whole. It makes me want to kill babies even more.

Reason: A friend and I were having an insult fight. So he said that when my mom was pregnant, she tried to abort me, and that I was an aborted fetus that just wouldn't die.

Motto: Because God Said So.

Reason: Because I've always wanted to walk into a Catholic school and tell a girl to kill herself. Then she would ask why and I would say "because God said so".

The falcon on the handle is Horus, the Egyptian god.

Ninjamangopuff
05-12-2004, 15:10
My nation is Ninjamangopuff, and is named after its leader. Ninjamangopuff is the name of a character in a game I made. He is a Mango that mutated after too much pesticide was used on him. Several other mangos mutated too, but most of them turned into rabid dog-like creatures. These are the Nation's national animal. Ninjamangopuff, being the only Mango that mutated in a good way, went on to conquer humanity and founded this nation.

Animal: Killer Mango.

Motto: "Nin Ja Mango Puff" - Just their king's name. People say it constantly as a form of worship for their ruler.
The messed up faerie
05-12-2004, 15:21
My national animal is the dragon
Because they're beautiful creatures, and I'm living in a fantasy
My motto: See Evil, Hear Evil, Speak Evil.
Because my country's rather liberal, therefore the people have the freedom to follow the motto. It's not so much an encouragement, just letting them know they're free to live how they like

My national animal is the moose, as there are plenty of them where I live, or at least in the northern parts of the country.

The national motto is. "Freedom with obligation" as everyone is free to do pretty much what they want as long as they pay taxes to fund the stuff.
The Tribes Of Longton

National animal: Chav - the area of my residence (longton, surprisingly) is infested with the burberry tribes.

National Motto: Chavs must die. Our leader is cool. All hail the snacks. -
1. I hate the little burberry wearing rockport sporting flick-knife carrying egging my house so I have to chase them with a stick scally bastards.
2. I am a very cool person, IMHO (I'm also arrogant, apparently)
3. I am an avid fan of the mini-cheddar (hence the national currency)

Here at Terra Mare, our national motto is "Notitia Volo Licentia" (Latin, trans. "Information wants to be free".

Our national animal is the seagull, though I take issue with the fact that it teeters on the brink of extinction due to deforestation because (a) there are no forests at all on Terra Mare (it is an artificial island) and (b) seagulls don't live in forests.

13-02-2005, 15:40
Motto: 'Power to the People, Power to the Unions'
Reason: Because my country is a Syndicalist Democracy, I.E. it is run by democratically elected labour unions.

Animal: The Punk-Rocker
Reason: Now that my nation is a radical left state, punks had nothing to rebel against. So they all went out into the forests where they set up self-sufficient tribal communities. They now spend their time kicking each other with cherry-red doc martins and hunting hippies. :headbang:
