Inspiration?

Postby Khelshar » Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:30 pm

What country is your nation inspired by? Or at least has many things in common?
Khelshar has much in common with Ireland. It is an island nation, its history having many and long civil wars, alot of nationalists, few ethnicities, and has a unique culture in many ways.
So how is your nation inspired by what country?

Postby 1000 Cats » Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:52 pm

Originally, it was inspired by an idea of mine, knowing that cats make enough distinct sounds to theoretically have their own spoken language. Then came Neil Gaiman's Sandman - specifically, Dream Country: Dream of a Thousand Cats (that's right, not even the name is original). After developing on NationStates, I've slowly integrated my ideas of what a society run by cats would be like, along with my infatuation with hunter-gatherer cultures.

For my main, Central and Eastern Visayas, elements of Switzerland, Singapore, and some Israel with Filipino people, an Asiatic ethos, and Jeffersonian political principles.

For my first alt, Kamaynilaan, how GetRealists see the way the presidency of Benigno Aquino III is starting to take.

For this, almost like CEV, but with more of Lee Kwan Yew's Singapore than Jeffersonian America.
This is Central and Eastern Visayas' second puppet, subscribing to the ideology of Get Real Philippines as faithfully as possible.

The idea of flying cities is mostly my own. Military uniforms are taken from the EU faction of Battlefield 2142. The Morita series of rifles is shamelessly stolen from Starship Troopers. Air vehicles are from the Homeworld series of games. And ponies are from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Culture is very much Californian, but with a vintage (1900-1950) American twist, being relatively disinterested in foreign politics and being very family-oriented with relatively nuclear families and having working male heads of households and stay-at-home moms.

Ganosia was inspired by Imperial Germany, The Enclave of the Fallout series of games, and the ideas of Thomas Hobbes and Joseph de Maistre.

Our queen was generally inspired by Quinn Morgendorffer with a pinch of Peggy Hill, while Chancellor Princess Allison Amber's like Daria Morgendorffer crossed with Evita Peron.

Our version of the Enclave revolves around fanatical devotion to monarchism, tradition, and oligarchy. Instead of hating (supposed) mutants, we hate cultists and other undesirable and uncivilized barbarians. We still use power armor and vertibirds, regardless.
