The High Tatras wrote:I am considering using "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" as the Tatran national anthem. I think the lyrics would fit The High Tatras fairly well with no alterations or modifications. It certainly gets across the idea of natural rights and that "God is the only King we need", and it is about the land and the people and not the government or the military. I do not care that it has the same tune as "God Save the Queen". Besides, the Germans came up with that tune first if I am not mistaken.

I though it was Danish because "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" was written for King Christian VII, but then the Prussians stole it. Even though it was written by a German.
"Rufst du mein Vaterland" has the same tune, but it sings of the fatherland, not a king, because Switzerland never had one.

Wasn't Tatras culturally Slavic-leaning?

Not sure how well something from all the way over the big ocean would fit it.

Yes. I have considered using the tune of "Mazurek Dąbrowskiego" or "Shche ne vmerla Ukraina", but I can't seem to come up with my own lyrics.

I hear that if you listen to this long enough you spontaneously grow a black trenchcoat, learn Ukrainian or Russian and want to squat in one of the abandoned houses around Chernobyl just to annoy the official tours leading through the area.

I'm running out of ideas in the thread with the ocean liner. There is not much going on that a character could react to at the moment.

Try talking to characters controlled by others, as happens at a gala.

You could ask, say, the Olweans about what's happening in the far future. Or even my character about what's happening in 2014.

I think I will need to separate Kazimierz and Svetlana. Their constant arguing is really getting out of hand.

I am looking for a region that I can join, as I am unsatisfied with my current one. Can anyone give me some good recommendations? Where would I fit in best?

I would say mine, but I'm the only person there, so I don't think you'd want to go to it.

You could choose an idea/place name inspired by your nation, then, and make it more general. Really depends on what kind of region you're looking to make- an RP region, a chatty region, a quiet region, or a region with a more intimate feel.
