That said, IRL I'm very interested in Rhodesia, and considering that Rhodesia has its roots in history as a British colony, I think I may want to be a former Cordian colony somewhere in the south of Africa. Better yet, I should throw in an Irish-speaking populace.

I'm on NACO's side for IC self preservation reasons. Post cold war, though, I'm leaning away from them and eyeing my neighbours.
My firearms tech. is vastly similar (nearly identical) to Yugoslavia's, as well, so if my nation needs to be expanded into the Hungary/Romania/Yugoslavia/etc., that can easily be done... though I'm not sure how a small cluster of villages would be able to amass that kind of territory (unless we made a post-WWI-equiv. armistice that granted me more land and we did not require a revolt post-war to become sovereign)...

Geographically, I'll probably take RL Rhodesia and stretch it to the coast (cuz being landlocked sucks bad); that aside, you might want to think about the surname of the Cordian dude who colonized the nation in the first place, seeing as Rhodesia was named after Cecil Rhodes.
Also, the Irish language thing has got me thinking: since in our region Ireland basically conquered England once upon a time, does that mean...the dominant international language will be...Irish?
Edit: Apparently I'm also finding it tempting as heck to explore more interesting/less covered nation concepts (i.e dynastic China, modern Mongolia, Best Korea)

Places like Australia, which served as penal colonies, would have had large populations of Angles, given the old Monarchy's tendency to arrest and deport them for terrorism and sedition. Even in Corda (especially modern Corda) English is commonly spoken, especially in the south. There are some southern districts where Gaelic is an official language in name only, and English is the primary language. But I do imagine Gaelic would be quite prolific in many nations, even though with America championing it, English would remain the language of International Trade.

Okie then, that aside, by any chance do you have a surname in mind for whoever colonized the nation I'll be running, or should I dig one out myself?

We've got someone as a Rhodesia analog, and I'm the resident British analog.
In terms of equipment, we're trying to stick with NS designs by people within the region. Failing that, RL designs ICly claimed by the analog of the RL nation which produced them.Songhia wrote:Hey, can I still claim my Songhia? It is (still) Mali - Burkina Faso - Senegal.
Sure, if it doesn't fall within an already claimed territory.Registug wrote:I'm going to wait for a higher resolution/more detailed map.

So change it up. But try not to copy too much from real life.
