Stereotypes of Your People

[Arumdaum]

What are some stereotypes of your people?

For example, it is said that everyone in Arumdaum is emo.

[Israslovakahzerbajan]

Short-True
Angry-Maybe
Drunk-Maybe
Love anime-True
Love wine-True
Pushy-Maybe
Arrogant-True
Have cat ears/tails-Some of them do

[New Wroclaw]

The general stereotype is an athletic, bookish, liberal.

[The Rich Port]

We're all a bunch of horny hound dogs.

Which is only half, or 50%, true

We're 99.99% horny, with the rest being food-lovers. Huzzah for our libido!!

[Chezovolvia]

Puppets to the Government
War-Monger
Cold
Too Formal
Snobbish

[Ramsetia]

Ramset are often thought of as tanned, introspective, and aloof.

This is largely right, but we would never admit it.

[Grays Harbor]

1.) Condescending towards foreigners -mostly true, because we do consider our culture much more civilzed than any others
2.) Polite to a fault - sometimes true. a carry over from when dueling was legal.
3.) Duty bound - true
4.) Imperialistic and Militaristic - Been talking to the Vassies again? Not particularly militaristic, but we do not shrink from a fight.
5.) Heavy drinkers - Been to the highlands recently, have ye?
6.) Suspicious of communists and fascists - mostly true. generally reserved for governments, but if an individual starts getting too strident, refer back to #1
7.) Uptight, stuffy and cold - Not really, but we do not go in for egrarious public diplays. Except where sport is involved.
8.) Judgemental - Sometimes. Mostly because of #1. Depends on the situation, really. Well, except when slavery is involved, then judgmental may be an understatement.

[Kablup]

Strong workers
Short
Poorly educated
Superstitious

[Uawc]

-Ride bears = true

-Collectivist idealism = true

-Drug-addled hippies = false

-Long hair = kinda true

[Redmend]

Strong Workforce
Tall
Blue Eyed
Good Politicians

[Mostrov]

Of course this is based of the very limited contact Mostrovite Citizens have with the rest of the world.

-Silent, will not speak until spoken too and then very quietely
-A constant look of fear, such as sweating or anxiety, of course the government does actively hunt down those trying to escape our country
-Dead, of course if one encounters an escaped Mostrovite they will soon be dead, with their face erased by a powerful acid and all belongings removed except for their featureless padded-suit

[Techno-Soviet]

Baby-eating, (light) beer drinking, child raping, woman murdering, gold plundering, man slaughtering, planet destroying Teutonic bastards of war.

This stereotype isn't true, of course. Real Soviet men drink strong stout (usually between 12-20% alcohol content), not light beer. Pale ale is the for the weak-stomached anarcho-socialist and communist.

[Radictistan]

Depending on their location, Radictistani nationals are commonely stereotyped as being rural hicks or dirty slumdwellers. All are subject to portrayal as alchoholics with a propensity toward violence. Aristocrats are stereotyped as being completely out of touch with the rest of society and concerned primarily with making money at public expense.

[Fatatatutti]

Fatatatutians are often stereotyped as fat party animals or surf bums. While those stereotypes are not accurate for the majority of the population, they do reflect the aspirations of a large proportion of the population.

[Hemenster]

- Snobs - very true
- Polite - true (for most of us anyway)
- Good sense of humour - see above
- Short fuse - true
- Reserved - mostly true
- Hat lovers - only because of our extensive rules on hat wear
- Duck lovers - Ducks are considered animals of Royalty in Hemenster

[Jalanat]

Obsessed with Pokémon - True
Wapanese - Most, though some of them are ACTUALLY Japanese.
Cosplayers - True
have 3 guns in their house - False, it's 4.
Don't Liek Mudkipz - True
Liek Lucarioz - True
Want Mewtwo dead - True
Protestants - True for 47% of the population.

[Kingdom Brittania]

Stereotype is that they are conservative, intelligent and loyal, with proper etiquette.

[Dagnia]

1 Dagnians are greedy- True . Dagnian philosophy stresses enlightened selfishness, and the belief that the material wealth you can acquire honestly is a reflection of how good of a person you are in many different ways, including spiritually. Charity, government or private, is non-existent here.
2 Dagnians are arrogant, rude and insolent- False. Dagnians are direct, honest and not afraid to speak of virtues or accomplishments they actually have. Many go out of their way to be nice and polite, but never at the expense of honesty.
3 Dagnians are violent, cruel and merciless- Mostly false. However, most Dagnians believe vengeance is both more gratifying and even more moral than turning the other cheek, and will inflict pain or other damage on the person they feel wronged them until they feel satisfied.
4 Dagnians are bad drivers- Very true. Some car manufacturers here don't even bother making cars with turn signals because they are either not used, or they are left on when the driver has no intention of turning. Speed limits, traffic lights and most signs are non-existent here because they would not be obeyed anyway. The government does not take advantage of this to make money off of speeders because anything (including a traffic cop) sitting on the shoulder for more than a few minutes is certain to be hit by a speeding car disobeying the lines painted on the road. It's third world driving in a first world nation.

[The HURD]

HURDists are seen as overweight, preachy, geeky, nerdy, OpenSource-advocates, who drink too much caffeine. This is true. The HURD is the only place where a discussion about text editors turns into a brawl.

[Eternal Life with God]

Either Fundamentalists or die hard atheists. No via media.

[Grant Park - Harrow]

Pirates who like gravedigging and hate emos... and who know how to find old threads.

And who like good jokes -

How many emos does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. They all sit in the dark and cry!

[Vampyricia]

Bunch of corpse-pale aristocrats and pseudo-aristocrats stalking around in long capes and drinking the blood of others.

Yes, a number of us drink blood, capes are in fashion in some of the more remote areas... but really, we have a wide variety of citizens, and not all of them act like Dracula.

[Augarundus]

Hooked-nosed.
Greedy.
Selfish.
Aggressive.
Totalitarian.
Abusive.
Overly religious.
'Capitalist Pigs'
Tea-totallers
Tall
Pale-skinned
Black-haired
Black-eyed
Overly Formal
Overly sophisticated
Overly intelligent
Insulting
Holier-than-thou persona (for southern Augarians, the most sophisticated and educated)
Wealthy
Ends-justify-the-means philosophy
Willing to go to any lengths to achieve personal goals
Males and females tend to be attractive

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

1. Nationalistic- Usually true especially amongst full fledged citizens
2. Arrogant- True for a depressingly large number of us
3. Pessimistic- True for large numbers of the population
4. Hard Working- Pretty much, in the Anglo-Saxon Empire either you are A. Hard working B. The child of a very rich person or C. Homeless
5. Xenophobic- Also rather true
6. Tall, and strong- true amongst the men at least
7. Good fighters- True amongst the citizenry, because in order to be a citizen, you must serve in the military, and to serve in the military you must master Krav Maga.

A good way to sum up the average Anglo-Saxon is a tall, strong, arrogant, pessimistic, nationalistic, hard working fighter. Basically someone you don't want to piss off.

[Skibereen]

The most common stereotype about Irysh-Finegall peoples is that they are all violent drunkards(not entirely untrue from an outsiders point of view).
There certainly other stereotypes but this is by far the most popular, however another common stereotype is that all Irysh-Finegall no matter what their station in life are deceptively friendly and decidedly Machiavellian(again not entirely untrue from an outsiders point of view).
