1. Decadence and Sensuality: the City of Westmonkport and the West End surrounding it are frequently depicted as a center of luxury, excess, and moral laxity.
Its débutante balls, elaborate festivals, and the libertine culture of Yoho are subjects of fascination, often highlighting a society indulging in pleasures and sensuality.

2. Political Intrigue: The state is also known for its complex political environment. The image of the secretive Westmonkporter government, the Council of state, and its network of spies contribute to the city-state’s reputation for mystery and intrigue.

3. Decline and Melancholy: By the 1960w, there emerged a sense of the former Republic's decline, which added a tone of melancholy to its depiction. The loss of political power and influence the Westmonkporter Empire once wielded was often contrasted with its lingering cultural and architectural splendor, creating a sense of nostalgic beauty.

4. Organised crime: the East End of the urban areas, along with specific other areas such as Yoho (vice and middle-class narcotics),
Hersdon (various old school organized crimes linked to unemployment, poverty and community disintegration following the closure of the coal mines in the 1980s, also “everyone” is on heroin) and Edgeware Street (Lebanese and Azadistani organised crime, organised theft), have a real organised crime problem that is exaggerated in the press.
As a result, the whole country is stereotyped as “crime-ridden”.

5.Romantic and Picturesque: The city's unique landscapes, with its iconic architecture,
art and public parks are a recurrent theme that capture the imagination of writers and painters and the film/television industry,
contributing to its romantic image.
Does not entirely represent my views.

- Radical feminist (more specifically TERF) influencer/construction and mafia heiress
reconverts to Catholicism, marries former Air Force Intelligence officer in
St. Darcy’s Church, Hersdon.
- Swathes of socially conservative youth convert to Islam, esp.in inner city areas.
- Military coup arranged on WhatsApp prevented by unnamed intelligence officer deputised by undersheriff (officer and undersheriff also on WhatsApp)

1.People often think this nation is theocratic, when in reality It accepts all religions.
2. People think that Darsians only care about their own nation, when really they do care about other things.
3. People think that our currency is the normal Euro or Francs when we really have our own Euro,which is 7 cents lower than the original.

Cascadian people are often stereotyped as overeducated workaholic coffee-drinking democratic socialist maniacs who love trees and subways. Rarer stereotypes often include them being lesbian as women, being bisexual as men, or being unusually muscular or strong as a third gender.

Postby Salessll » Tue Oct 17, 2023 11:28 pm

We have a stereotype of being amazingly intelligent, good looking, funny, compassionate and tall people. Strangely these stereotypes appeared during the initial, authoritarian government. Even more strangely is that these stereotypes are all true! Not sure if it’s still a stereotype then…

We're a stubbornly ignorant country whose people can't even identify most countries on a map. Oh you're Albanteran? Yeah we'll refuse to learn your language and even if we did try we'd probably think you spoke Vizelian and ask for une bière merci beaucoup.

A lot of our people have no fucking desires to leave their province, nevertheless travel abroad. "Why go to Banjumasang when I have everything here in Quenesland mate."

Foreign media consumption? Forget it. Unless you're a foreign performer singing in perfect Widonian forget about it because we won't bother if we can't perfectly and effortlessly understand you.

And this doesn't just extend to Cynedryca. If we travel abroad? You bet we speak Widonian to you. At a bar in Branderland? We'll get angry and yell that you can't understand us.

Where is Lorsalia? Fuck if I know mate. What the fuck is a Hindu? Aren't they those lads with the funny hats who worship that cube in the desert? Who is this world renown foreign historical figure that everyone else has heard of? Don't know mate never seen him before.

Other stereotypes beyond ignorance? Gullanders are bronze skinned tanned cattle ranchers who all live in the outback, Widonians are aristocratic snobs, Pacifians are laid back surfers, etc. Too many to count.

For some reasons people think Pinguinis are soulless machines, driven by performance. They also tend to think we won't let anyone take a wrong step for fear it will crush some flower or protected herb. They accuse us of having draconian punishment to keep everyone in line.

All lies, of course :-)

Finally, it is a well-known fact that we don't believe in humour. Humour is a ploy used by ugly people to get laid!

1. Patriotic Devotion: Aurionthians are often seen as deeply patriotic, with a strong attachment to their nation's history and culture.

2. Commitment to Social Justice: The kingdom is stereotyped as having a population that prioritizes social justice, ethics, and equitable resource distribution.

3. Military Discipline: Due to mandatory military service, there might be a stereotype of disciplined citizens with a strong sense of duty and responsibility.

4. Reserved Diplomacy: Aurionthians may be viewed as diplomatic and cooperative in international relations, often advocating for positive change rather than confrontation.

5. Cultural Unity: Stereotypically, there's a belief that despite regional and ethnic differences, the people of Aurionthia maintain a strong national identity.

6. Disapproval of Capitalism: There might be a stereotype that Aurionthians view more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt, reflecting a different set of values.

"Hapilopper Man" - So you know Florida Man, right? For a lot of nations, "Hapilopper Man" is the NS equivalent. Headlines such as "City council meeting interrupted by naked man riding goat firing six shooters in the air" and "City man fished naked out of fountain" and "Man thrown out of golf course for using air horn at tee box" and "City man arrested for driving school bus into swimming pool" are disturbingly common in Hapilopper. The predominant Hapiloppian stereotype is that Hapiloppians are loud, boorish, stupid and have really, really dumb ideas.

Postby South Neviersia » Wed Oct 25, 2023 6:13 am

Generally speaking, South Neviersians (commonly called Lainerovans, despite the term referring to indigenous peoples of South Neviersia) are known for being a brutally honest, hard-working, coffee-loving people. They're not afraid to say it as it is, whether good or bad, and they'll always be willing to lend a hand in times of need. That said, they can sometimes be reserved in public and initially hesitant to talk to strangers. If you do meet one, give them some time to know you and they'll make great friends with you.

Regional stereotypes:

  • Greater Darwin: Pretty chill, laid-back, humble (except the Boltonians), perhaps too modest. Westside Darwin is more 'traditional', lively and historic whereas Eastside Darwin is more industrial, boring and has more public housing. Outside the city, County Bolton has all the wealthy folk, County Epping has been gentrified with high unemployment and County Kakapo is forgotten by the Darwinites. Probably loves cricket and football and avoids alcohol at all costs. They also say "toppers" instead of "thanks". Darwin Uni students practically live on Horbury's cafe orders and overpriced takeaways.
  • East Coast: Similar to Greater Darwin but even more laid-back, they have a strong aversion to tourists (but they do like their money), nice beaches. Strong rallying culture, especially near Caerkorry. They have a more broader accent than Greater Darwin. Infamous for county councils 'accidentally' giving tourists free money who then flee the country after.
  • The Durbanites: To the Adelians and Darwinites, the Durbanites is nothing more than a throughfare to get to the other city, and it's a place to avoid (especially Davenport). Known for their strange accents, flat parties, strangely dark sense of humour, fierce patriotism and no good football team.
  • The West Layners: Home to the hippy city of Adel, known for its wine vineyards, Adel City FC, arts and fashion scene, and Adelians who insist Adel is the actual capital of South Neviersia, and relocating the capital to Darwin City was a mistake. Known for being strangely formal, in terms of dressing, mannerisms and ways of speaking. Hates Darwinites and East Coasters with a passion. Other than the resort city of Port Mateagh, the rest of TWL is amongst the wealthiest in South Neviersia. Adel residents love to boast that they founded Horbury's (cafe), even though it was actually from Darwin City.
  • Perth Country: The even richer version of The West Layners with nothing but mountains. Very traditional, conservative and reserved. You either live in a tiny cramped cottage or you live in a McMansion in the middle of nowhere.
  • Lainerovan Kadlara: The rough rugby-loving region home to the city of Bondulagh. Highly reserved, chill, awkward but a good sense of humour. Beer-loving alcoholics who have beer with every meal, starting from 16. Everyone here speaks at least 3 languages (English, Lainerovan and Kadlaran), even though they pretend they don't speak English. At rugby games, half of them boo the national anthem and half of them stay quiet. Rough but sing-songy accent that eerily sounds similar to Irish.
  • Rest of South Neviersia (Midland, Northern Borders and Upper Norlands): Nothing much is known about these regions other than roads, McDonald's, sheep and heavy snow. Anything above 20 degrees Celsius here is a heatwave.

The most well-known stereotype of the Kastovian people is that we are vomit-inducingly lovey-dovey in public.
This is probably because of our strong commitment to LGBT rights and gender equality, although in actuality public displays of affection are illegal except during pride marches or between 6am and 9pm
