Rural Land in Your Nation

[Seculartopia]

What is the extent of rural, "the country","backwoods" or "boonedocks" in your nation?

---

When asked on the street, 8 out of 10 Seculartopians said "What rural land?"

^This might offer explanation.

[Augarundus]

You want to go out in that?

[Bears Armed]

Most of this country is rural, although how much of that territory constitutes 'Backwoods' (as distinct from 'Frontwoods'?) would be a widely-disputed matter of opinion...

[Swilatia]

There's hardly any of it left here.

[Maraque]

This is the extent of our "rural" environment.



Still urban, but Maraqueans consider anywhere with a lot of trees "rural."

[Novus Niciae]

We have vast tracts of rural land. But services are well distributed in the rural areas so there is no real "backwoods" areas except for some of our more newly colonized planets in the areas away from the where the colony ship has been dismantled and converted into the first city of the planet.

[Rhodaseum]

Since we're a city-state, uh...no, we don't have any rural land.

[TerraPublica]

There is very little, as most of the land is Urban, and the rest is Suburban or unpopulated forest.

[Churchilland]

We have lots of rural land, ranging from soft rolling farmland to large, impressive peaks, from moorland to seacliff - tops, from broad valleys to narrow jagged ravines


(that sounds like a cheap tourist promotion advert )

Hahaha - you can if you want to

[Mama Chola]

We are an equatorial rain forest. The populations of gorillas and chimpanzees (both kinds) equal or exceed those of humans. We have immense numbers of elephants, hippopotami and other animals.

There are no roads to speak of -- long distance travel is by river. There are thousands of small villages, as well as larger habitations. The capital, where the Clan Council meets, is on the coast, and is the largest city, with a population ca. 200,000 (it fluctuates considerably as the clan representatives come and go).

[South East Europe]

Only 10% of our land has major development on it as most development goes up and we have vast expanses of land. Another 20% of land is farmland. The other 70% has no development whatsoever, although about 5,000,000 citizens, scattered throughout the undeveloped land, live in tribal villages.

[Seperate Vermont]

Most of Vermont is either Farms or Undeveloped Forest, and we like it that way, especially with one slightly urban center.

Although, really, it is not "Rural" like the Rural Stereotype is- it is simply just this:

And our Rural peoples tend to be very in the times, not slow people out of the times.

[Lackadaisical2]

Lackadaisical is a massive nation, the vast majority of the country is rural lands (how else would we feed our people?) with concentrated urban centers, sprawling suburbia and smaller towns making up the remainder.

Without a definition of what constitutes the other classifications, we can provide no information on them.

OOC: Thats very much my interpretation of rural, perhaps its an American thing?

OOC: Its not like the stereotype though.

[12 Virs]

As a PT (medieval at best) nation, we have plenty of rural land. Our nation is basically a few walled cities and a lot of tiny farm villages protected by the occasional castle-fortress, all widely scattered amid a vast swath of untamed wilderness.

^Pretty much this.

[Living Freedom Land]

In Living Freedom Land there is a large amount of rural land, and as more people move to the cities a smaller percentage of people inhabit rural areas. Rural dwellers have a distinct accent, considered uncouth by some, from city dwellers, and many of them are farmers. In contrast, the cities are based around manufacturing.

Rural people are much more likely to be religious, politically active, and give to charity, however, rural people do not live as long, make less money, and have less education. The cultural influence of rural Living Freedom Land, compared to urban Living Freedom Land, is surprisingly high though. Cultural conventions in Freedom Lander society many times originated in rural areas, and many sports and activities are rural in origin.

The actual land is very much tamed and farmed, sometimes in large tracts by big companies. The family farm is still alive, and many people make a living raising animals on their own land. The National Park System protects some important wilderness areas from human encroachment, preserving Living Freedom Land's "wild side."

[The Tavan Race]

Our rural land takes up much of the country, and indeed much of the planet:

Much of Malaysii is "Rural" or has many Forests.

Standard rule of thumb in Jingomurica, Rural land is for the rich, Cities are for the poor and meek.
