[Drasnia]

#668 introduces a new nation Skandilund. It's obvious what it's a stand in for, but there's not a whole lot that's actually confirmed by the option is mentioned in.

[Trotterdam]

Here's my research. It covers most mentions of each nation's name in issues, though it skips a couple in which the nation isn't really doing anything.

(Updated 17 March 2017.)

Bigtopia
(Known for: being a disadvantaged ethnic minority in many other nations. Returns the disfavor in #262. Continuing the racism, according to #127 they have a reputation - deserved or not - of being incompetent workers, compared to Maxtopians and Marche Noirians. Also engaged in some spy drama. In #349, war criminals on the losing side of a civil war attempt to flee. An economic mess.)

(Known for: being a disadvantaged ethnic minority in many other nations. Also appears to house terrorists. Civil war too, of course.)
(Note that the name of the original reference from Gulliver's Travels is "Lilliput", but NationStates uses "Lilliputia", presumably from back-formation from the adjective.)

(Known for: wars with North Bigtopia, multiple civil wars, corruption, misogyny, frequently sentencing alleged criminals to death or flogging, implied to be fond of martial law. Eventually exports their war crimes via mercenaries. But also having a rich history with their own language, poetry, art, and archaeological artifacts. Though that rich history included gladiatorial games - in ancient times, they've probably outgrown it. Appears to be an important oil-producing nation. #551 allows a royal intermarriage. Oh, and some nasty wildlife.)

Accused of assassinating political dissidents. You may have a trade embargo against them. Also known for elegant classical architecture, and possibly food.)

One easter egg issue mentions several nations which are actual player-created nations in the game, rather than the usual placeholders.
#266 Easter Egg: Breaching the Great Fourth Wall of @@NAME@@
Stalclaft (resource-rich war zone)
Cea-Dicee (military superpower with spaceships)
Subspais (ancient ruins)
It also mentions the islands of Uoeq and Sekonlif.
(Sedgistan reports those nations were created after the issue was added, and so are not an intentional reference to certain players.)

Alright, appearances updated. Now for the descriptions...

Should I bump this?
It's not an issue... but bump I guess.

[Candlewhisper Archive]

Bump it when you change it, I reckon.

[Jar Wattinree]

Blackacre has a Supreme Leader named Valerie Drake according to Issue No. 813. Noted for xenophobic ranting about all sorts of things on her Twitcher account ranging from conspiracy theories to dissidents. Basically an unhinged sort of national leader one should watch carefully or dismiss, with indifference or cat memes.

Was this inspired by Kim Jong-un and President Trump?

[Rainengrad]

Found this on an abandoned NPC Nation List. Credit goes to Dearic, i only found this.

''Marche Blanc- your Minister of Alternative Solutions suggests training with their army in a forest nobody visits to attack Marche Noir.''

Two opposite countries sharing half their names and on unfriendly relations? I call South Korea and North Korea on Blanc and Noir respectively.

Awww, that is a shame.

[Lucedeia]

Althaniq: is a small autocratic desert monarchy that trades oil to your nation and in turn is almost wholly dependent on your nation's exports. Recently, several nations larger and more powerful than Althaniq have denounced it and introduced punitive trade sanctions and embargoes against them, citing their belief that Althaniq is sheltering and funding terrorist organizations.

appears in issue: Oiling the Wheels of Diplomacy

[Altmer Dominion]

This is an older list that is no longer being updated. For future reference, Jutsa has a newer list that is frequently kept-up-to-date. Fret not, for Althaniq is listed there.

[Australian rePublic]

This list is outta date, and there's a newer version of it. Can w e do something about that, please
