What species do you use for your nation? Just say what it is if it's from some sc-fi, but I'd really enjoy some physical descriptions if you made them up.

Humans, although at the request of the Palentine, CPESL (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Antarctic_Oasis/index.php?showtopic=21) does employ some cat-girls.

It really depends on my mood.

I have two races. The first I call the Xjhum'bi. They are an alien symbiotic race consisting of this black ooze-like symbiote and carcasses of a fallen race. The symbiote implants itself through the bones and vessels of the corpse, reanimating it and changing the DNA structure a bit. The race is essentially dead and thus have no worries about breathing. Their ships are mesoamericanesque in design and in them consist of Assembly plants where they take the dead bodies of their enemies and inject the black symbiote in them, thus making a constant supply of troops. I like them because I can make all sorts of monstrosities, like what I call the Homunculus, which is the product of twisted cloning experiments that failed, causing the clone to die upon creation. All they do is create the clone and then after death inject it with the symbiote.

My other race I call the Kraetons. They are your Zerg/Tyranid-esque swarm monstrosities with Broodships, destructive bioplasma, acidic bile, and walking hive titans. They are dirt red with hardened armour and spikes.

A_B: Humans
Skuzzsock: Humans
Drahks: Drahks - Very huimanoid in appearance and shape. They even have asian drahks, black drahks, white drahks, arab drahks, and hispanic drahks. However the drahks are genetically superior in every way to ordinary humans. Luckily, this means they also aren't stupid enough to hold bigotted veiws against humans. The average IQ for a drahk is 280, they average 3 inches taller, their skin is nearly impenetrable, their senses are vastly enhanced and they seem to have biological scales for them. That is, if something is too loud, they can turn down their hearing, or turn off their taste buds when they get a nasty taste in their mouths. Stuff like that.

Fahl: The Fahliens. A gelatonous alien race.(I'll be writing an NS wiki on these and the drahks before too long for more info)

Brawl Hall: Retarded humans
Clock Land: Clocks from the newgrounds clock crew(and they're murdering the anti-clocks with deforestation it seems).

The Sagitians look a lot like the Andorians from Star Trek, but their skin is white, with a faint tinge of blue.

Bears. Intelligent, speaking, bipedal Bears. (Some with brown or reddish-brown fur, some black-furred, one clan 'Polar'...)

Czardaian citizens are about 90% human, 4.5% anthromorphic mammals (e.g. walking and talking cats, rabbits, badgers and the like), 2.5% elves, <2% karela-related creatures, and the remainder a strange race of huge sentient metallic mushrooms that are known to wander around in horseshoes muttering something about bloody Violetists.

Of course, citizens make up less than .00001% of the population, as the vast majority consists of grasses, flies, micro-organisms, etc.

Fordavia's national animal is the Ground Bat. A lack of predators on the island and years of evolution meant that the bats didn't need to fly anymore and developed stronger legs to walk on.

Sadistic Jerks: Humans, but they sure don't act like it. They more than oppress the "various hapless minorities".

And the Drahks wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Drahks) is up, I'll get to work on Fahl's before too long.

There seems to be some confusion about whether this thread's topic is the nations' sapient populations or their 'national animals'...

Asheerans. Asheerans are a felinoid race who look like bipedal, anthropomorphic versions of terrestial African lions. They are an honorable, aggressive race that is stronger and more agile than human beings, but lesser in population.
Land of the Trolls

Trolls, of course! :) The trolls in my nation are slightly taller, and significantly heavier than humans. They mostly live underground. They look brutish and stupid, but they're actually intelligent, and since they're computer-literate, they are often found on internet message boards. :)

You may find Unidox's Species Catalogue (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=396063) interesting.

Also this one (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=437871) -- the NS Bestiary, by Blood Moon Goblins -- and this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=400429) Magic Nations Rollcall that I started, with the best of intentions, but didn't follow through.
Bartollia

The makeup of Bartollia is mostly human, but we've developed a symbiotic (sic) relationship with the boomstick demons who inhabit the forests. A boomstick demon is a small impish thing which was the only animal ever to develop gunpoweder (then the boomstick) before the wheel or fire. The demons keep invaders at bay and we supply them with gunpowder.
