Cassadia is many things to many nations native to the Krillin Region. To some, we are more innocently perceived as a land of yurts, the historical Sche'gori people who conquered the island continent, vodka, the national version of the sauna better known as banya, the Cassadian Royal Family, opulent big churches and so much more.

But to others, especially those with a more liberal worldview and values, perceive our country as a graveyard of human progress, humanitarianism, and human rights. A place that had been overlooked by the Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment, and the Social Revolutions of 68'. All manifestations of these forces that appeared in the country in one form and one point or another, having been crushed with extreme prejudice by the Authorities of the Crown.

All men are different! Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory. That’s why there are wars, violence, and unrest.”Emperor Charles (VII) Von Peacecraft

Stereotypes of Piratinese people vary. Those from countries that were part of the former Empire of Brazil view the Piratinese as racist and arrogant. Some go as far as claiming that all Piratinese men are homosexual and that everyone is a Hitlerite. Although the first stereotypes can be considered true, the two last stereotypes are completely false - proportionally, there are 50% more homosexuals in the Brazilian capital than in the Piratinese capital. Plus the overwhelming majority of Portuguese, Black, and Mixed Piratinese are socialists, only a sizeable minority of the German community is actually national socialist.

Outside of Lusophone South America, the Piratinese people are seen as hospitable, generous, and sincere, but they also can be rude and haughty. There is also a stereotype that the Piratinese tends to be traditionalist, which is true to an extent. Both men and women are perceived as hot by South Americans and Westerners alike, and racial fetish plays a role in both occasions: South Americans think that all Piratinese are fair-skinned, while Americans and Europeans think all Piratinese are brown and fit.

Barsians are seen as drunk, Slavic-speaking Vikings that live in a frozen land of eternal winter and fight bears every day. And most of that's true, except the fighting bears part. To other Slavs, as well as Scandinavians, Barsia-Olessia is to them, what rural Alabama is to the USA.

The Irish are stereotyped negatively as drunks, dim-witted and , to a lesser extent, as terrorists whilst being stereotyped positively as devoutly religious, kind and friendly. The Irish diaspora are stereotyped as police officers in many countries such as the United States of America (especially New York).

The main stereotypes about Lancovians are that we are compassionate, prideful, reserved, and notoriously reckless drivers. The country itself is stereotyped as being very clean and modern, though with a quaint, folksy aesthetic and feel especially outside of the major cities. Politically, we are stereotyped as being communal and socialistic in our outlook and values.

Some anglophone Western countries seem to have completely opposite stereotypes of our nation. They believe that Lancov is a poorly-developed, corrupt nation with a low literacy rate. We blame their atrocious educational systems for these fantasies. The stereotype about us being uncouth drunks is often fair, however.

The most common stereotype about Armadorians is that we are nation of incredibly boring people that not even our strong beer, legalised drugs and prostitution can make interesting.

Armadorian manufactured products have a reputation for being virtually indestructible, with a common joke being our mobile phones are more deadly then tank shells.

Our strong leftward leaning politics has also given us a reputation as a runaway socialist state, while the strong presence of the Foundationalist faith in our society is viewed as hippy cult out to brainwash you into being a socalist

Carrelie is often portrayed as a nation of the prim and proper, somewhat stuck in the 1800s with their outfits of high society and tastes in music. Much of the population is well-off, with all of us speaking in a sophisticated french-like accent. We are also portrayed as having all of our anger bottled up inside of us, ready to release in a flurry of emotion at any time, as long as we're in private.
so basically just british people

That we’ll have sex with anything that moves (not entirely true as bestiality is actually quite frowned upon here), start shit with other countries at the drop of a hat (okay, literally that one time so you’ve got us there, but that guy should’ve been able to hold on to his hat), and are godless heathens (we fully acknowledge the existence of thousands of gods, we just don’t acknowledge their right to govern our people in the Emperor’s place or give them respect they haven’t earned; also, scientists are still divided on how to classify Planeswalkers so the jury’s still out on whether the Emperor is a god).

Positive (Complimentary)
• Intelligent (This is for the most part, true.)
• Modest attitude (True. Lacking a humble and reserved attitude is frowned upon.)
• Fashionable (For the most part, true. This is also opinionated depending on who you ask.)
• Well Mannered (True. Acting unmannered in a public place is looked down upon.)
• Very technologically advanced (True. Destyntine is the most advanced society on Earth.)
• Great at racing (True. The annual hover races can prove this.)
Neutral (No Opinion)
• Extremely Shy (This may or may not be true. While the majority of people are shy, there are a good number of extroverts.)
• Modern-day Vikings (This is only true for a small percentage of people who still follow the old traditions.)
• Everyone has blonde hair and blue eyes (False, many people have brown hair or dyed hair, many people also have green eyes or contacts.)
• The cities are very quiet (True, unless there is a festival or the annual race.)
• Spacers are always high or drunk (False. The ships are equipped with bars and plenty of cannabis but many spacers prefer to stay sober. Admirals and high ranking officers also take their job very seriously and avoid substances on the job.)
• Obsessed with aesthetics (True, everyone is soft for stylizing to please their minds and decorations.)
Negative (Offensive)
• Overly emotional (This is true for the most part.)
• City people are snobbish (False. This mainly stems from Sølvbyen and the wealthy fashionistas. All other cities are not full of snobs.)
• Old Norse Paganism is a cult (Depending on how you view religion, this may be true or false.)
• Racially Biased (Subtle but true. There are laws that only apply to immigrants in place and police are more suspect of non-native citizens.)
• Alien Xenophiles (False. The people of Destyntine are not obsessed with having a 'hot alien boyfriend' like others suggest. In fact, most people of Destyntine prefer to keep to their own species.)
• Everyone is feminized (This is true for the most part. Women are extremely feminine. Many aspects of the culture are directed towards a feminine behavior. It is not abnormal for many men to act feminine as well.)
• Everyone is a cyborg (False. The number of bionic citizens are in the minority. Although it is not uncommon to see people with cybernetic enhancements, not everyone has them.)
