The Basis of your Country?

[Dos Namollo]

What would you describe as your inspiration, did you give thought or just throw it out there?
Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity? And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?

[H-Alba]

H-Alba is based on Scotland, Ireland, and Pre-Christian Celtic Tribes. It is also based heavily on Druidry, my religion.

[Dos Namollo]

The really interesting, explain your religion of "Druidry", if you don't mind ?

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

What would you describe as your inspiration, did you give thought or just throw it out there?
Nothing, I make it up as I go along.
Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity?
Almost everyone is Anglo-Saxon, with Jews, Nordic, and Chinese (yes, random I know, blame SMS geography), but it isn't based on any.
And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?
In my nation there is no moral code, you do whatever you can get away with. Also, you go to church or else you will go to hell for not repenting for your numerous sins.

Druidry is a reconstruction of the ancient Celtic Pagan religion. It is deeply rooted in the Green Earth, and a natural philosophy of living. Druidry is different from many religions in that it is really a "open-ended" religion. Some druids are monotheists, others are polytheists, and others are atheists. There are Christian Druids, and Celtic Reconstructionist Druids (those who try to rebuild the ancient celtic religion; I am one of the RC Druids).

Seems fun, yet very hectic and chaotic!

Nazi Germany, Modern Germany, Prussia, Modern America, Progressive Era America, and some fictional influences are all the things I used to base my country off of.

When ever you mention druidry, my mind reverts to World Of Warcraft. Otherwise, i didn't understand what druidry was but, now that I know it is Pagan I think I've heard of it.

Throughout the ages, countless people have demanded that the government take rights from others. Capitalists, ethnic minorities, etc. have all been targets of this type of oppression. Ultimately, when the government gets too strong, it takes the rights of the former majority as well. Renesai is based upon that theory; a highly oppressive state with an elite ruling class that takes what it wants There are two twists on that theme.

1). Renesai is highly religious. Not a new twist.

2). Renesai is RPed as a nation whose ruling class actively hates its citizens. The ruling class doesn't just seek to enrich itself, but rather it actually hates and wishes to see everyone else harmed as much as possible. How much of this is based upon an extreme reading of religious literature and how much of this is simple spite is unclear.

Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity?

No, surprisingly. Its theocratic rule is based upon past governments using religion to further their purposes. Since I live in the USA IRL, I chose a Christian theocracy purely out of convenience.

And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?

Renesai is based upon the most oppressive parts of certain religions taken to an extreme. This means that Renesai has largely Christian morals, although I don't think contemporary Christians would go for half the stuff Renesai does.

My personal morals are very different.

For some reason this, sounds familiar Do you know of any countries that were like this IRL?

For my own amusement, Renesai is taken to an extreme. I don't think that there was ever a nation as bad as Renesai.

The concept of an extremely powerful religion which has its own police force and is responsible for carrying out the laws and certain executions is taken from modern day Saudi Arabia and the Catholic Church (ye olde version). The concept of a society which enforces its morals is actually taken from the Bible and past and present United States, albeit the positions are taken to an extreme. The concept of a nation controlled by a brutal, elite few was taken from every two-bit dictatorship that ever rose to power, and to a certain extent, the old Soviet Union. The concept of blaming a minority for problems as a means to rise to power was taken from Nazi Germany.

It's really just a blend of the most oppressive parts of different cultures and ideas, taken to an extreme, with extra evil mixed in.

[Dos Namollo]

Oh ok, yea I see the remnants of Saudi Arabia.

[Meryuma]

Hippies, furries, post-civilization.

[New Lusitaniagrad]

Celtic Scotland, Imperial Germany, and Fascist Portugal.

It is actually pretty organized and very bureaucratic. To put it simply, everything is legal, and everything is regulated. Slavery is legal, but paying for all of the fees, licences, contracts, and permits costs as much as the slave most of the time (Slaves average around $450,000 to $550,000).

[Augarundus]

Liberte and liberte.

[Maraque]

What would you describe as your inspiration, did you give thought or just throw it out there?
I have written, re-written, re-re-written and completely re-done Maraque dozens and dozens of times. I've made it all up as I go along.
Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity?
There are six ethnolinguistic tribes in Tsvarchi, but due to low birth rates of the natives and high levels of immigration we're now a flourishing bastion of multiple ethnicities.
And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?
The Book of Xanthaiyan outlines our society's moral and ethical codes of conduct.

[Xanicea]

Our nation is a mix of Nordic Socialism, Stalinist rule, Russian culture, and the Russian Provisional Government during WWI.

Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity? And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?
Our nation is based on Russian/Baltic ethnicity, although we do have our share of other races. Our nation's morals are quite liberal, and we believe that civil progress is the mark of any modern nation.

[Chocolate-Marzipan]

It's loosely much based on the work of philosophers/political theorists I admire: John Stuart Mill,John Rawls, Karl Popper, etc.
(Plus a few drops of funny& cute for good measure... )
-> the result reminds me a bit of seminaries at my Faculty of Philosophy with a certain assistant professor

[Veceria]

What would you describe as your inspiration, did you give thought or just throw it out there?
It's based on my own weird imagination of a perfect nation.
This includes the consumption of human(oid) meat, a strong, modern military, environmentalism aaaand ... an absolute monarchy.

Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity?
Well, the race I use is somewhat modeled after myself. Well, even a little bit more animalistic.

And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?
Well, liberty, honor and honesty would be the best words to describe our moral codes.

[Luxiora]

Just throw it out there? For the most part, yeah, but I also use this nation as a way to combat the seemingly raging anti-furry movement going about in the F&NI forums/
Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity? No.
And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by? I consider standard morals being not to attack anyone unless they harm you first, allowing people to live in peace unless their ways harm others, and ultimately trying to contribute to the good of all living on this planet.

[The Vorindun]

A mixed bag of Atlantean, Roman, and Ostrogothic refugees and their direct descendants. Not surprisingly, there is a lot of religious diversity and have been quite a few religious disputes as a result.

[Gutia]

What would you describe as your inspiration, did you give thought or just throw it out there?
Sweden who stayed 'Pagan' with some fictional tribes and some more viking influences, (Soldiers do not have bayonets, they have axes instead) and the old norse way of electing their kings.
Is it based on a certain race/ethnicity?
Scandinavian all the way.

And lastly what do you consider as standard morals or ethics to live by?
Honour, liberty. Honouring the gods, being free to do things (voting freedom of speech etc)

My inspiration is more of a landscape orientation towards Kirghiz/Kazakh Steppe which is a vast grassland through northern Kazakhstan that is sparsely occupied. Only a few rivers are present but they cut a lot of small valleys where you find the majority of archaeological sites within the region. When the climate becomes drier, cultures would pack up and move northward to more regular bodies of water in southern Siberia.

On top of that, I envisioned a fairly homogeneous ethnic population in the low-lying areas with endangered minority enclaves in the foothills and mountains.

Standard morals would probably be similar to the system of Mongolians. Definitely, there would be an affinity with the natural landscape and semi-nomadism. Hospitality would be paramount in the vein of my house is yours.

Austria Hungray, The 1914 France and some stuff of the imperium of men(40k)
