FanT nations relying on having inhuman characters, crazy powerful characters as leaders, or both.

There's a reason why it's FantasyTech

Literally My Nation: 2022 except we are dressing like the it’s the 1950s.

Yes, characters like Kirito and settings like SAO are pretty trash, but your previous post seemed to also take issue with having inhuman characters in a fantasy setting, which is honestly absurd. why would a fantasy setting only be about normal humans?

Eh, not so much an issue with that, personally. But it also feels a bit done to death.

I wouldn't mind something akin to the World of Wizardry, or Harry Potter, where you have mostly humans who can use magic interacting with fantastical creatures. That's something barely ANYONE has done on this site with few exceptions (Azur Deutschland comes to mind).

I mean, would a LOTR-esque nation count? As humans do exist.

Sorry for assuming then. The wording just seemed like you viewed it negatively.
Also, funny that you mention Azur as that is me.

I recently found something drawn in an anime art style that would actually be fitting for my nation and my instant thought was "I don't even like anime that much but what if I put this on my flag to annoy people."

do it

Yea. Like, it's just weird that when one things FanT anywhere else, they think stuff like "oh yea, Warhammer!" or "Haha! Harry Potter!"

Then on NS it's mostly "furries, probably. Or weird humanoids." Not that I'm complaining. It's rather nice. But it's still done to death.

On the flipside, it's hard to find a nation of non-humans that AREN'T FanT in ANY regard. Something like the setting of MAUS or that one weird furry mod for HOI4.

Oh boy, new thread, and new cliche's. So, how many NS cliché's are prevalent in worldbuilding outside of NS? Space empires with their oh so epic military is basically something you see in sci-fi since... well, since military sci-fi became popular.

So developed romance novelists wish to get in touch with you.

Nooo. You don't understand how important it is that I go into great detail about my female leader's large tracks of land! This is vital to the nation! /s

truly, what a lack of regular interactions with other people - and a lack of touching grass/cement/whatever - does to a mf. also known as the stereotypical isekai author who got a new anime plot idea.

One has to wonder why someone would get angry over low-effort posts when they participate in actual just spam threads. Like that "man" thread and that "anarchy rp" thread and the million "NS (insert place here)" threads.
