Nation Ideas.

[ShadowFireLance]

In a Nations game Im starting, I have about killed myself by Burn-out from thinking of Nation Ideas, SSSSSSSooooooooo.....
Here I am, Asking the Lovely playground for Some Nation Ideas.
I have, So far:
Undead, Draconic, Celestail, Aberrant, Infernal, And a few smaller, More Humaniod nations..
So, Any ideas?

[Silva Stormrage]

Hm, I never liked the idea of their being countries of a specific race. I more liked focusing on a culture and then thinking what race would be in that city.

A couple of countries in one campaign I am running,

A series of refluffed lycanthrope nations (think laguz from Fire Emblem) that emphasize combat and wilderness and shun magic and technology.
A high magic decently high tech isolationist psionic country. Populated by blues, mind flayers and a variant psionic warforged
2 Nordic countries of frost giants locked in an eternal war for valor and honor.
A series of nations that live atop flying whales the size of California, mostly frozen terrain with the populous being hospital and art loving

[ShadowFireLance]

Nation on the back of whales...Totally going to use here.

[THEChanger]

I remember an undead desert nation I thought up once. They operated under a sort of democracy where leaders were elected for (un)life. A council of thirteen, headed by a single powerful magus. It was a desert nation, one which had been converted entirely to undead. In order to keep the population of the country steady, they went to great lengths to get other people to immigrate there. Even though the living were second-class citizens, life there was fairly good, and at any time a living person could undergo the Rite of Rebirth, and be turned into an undead. All citizens were after death, of course.

[Lentrax]

I have a nation that has undertaken sole responsibility for keeping the truth about the BBEG a complete secret from the rest of the world.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Fire Nation.

Plot twist: everything changes when they attack.

[Incom]

Don't forget the classic "city-state based on a trapped Tarrasque".

[Craft (Cheese)]

The independent City-State of Celir has a proud, 231 year history. Built around an artificial harbor (most of the buildings carved from the cliff face) and the only viable port for hundreds of miles of coastline, Celir was one of the world's most important trading centers.

But all is not well in Celir: 5 months ago (though it had been secretly planned for nearly 7 years), a civil uprising overtook the city, executing all of the city's nobility and stopping nearly all trade, preaching a message of wealth redistribution.

The uprising is not all that it seems to be either; The revolution's leader, Ariv Silwea Markan, is actually an agent provacateur working for Emperor Eleras of the bordering Yun Empire. Yun has coveted and attempted to conquer Celir multiple times over the past decades, and the revolution is their latest plot to attempt to weaken Celir from the inside.

Though under orders to continue the revolution as planned, Ariv is beginning to have doubts. His "cause" now has many genuine believers, and they're beginning to get more than a little out of hand, holding daily executions of dissidents and suspected spies, even amongst their own leadership. Not only fearing his own life, Ariv is beginning to regret his takeover of the city: Celir (and many nearby areas) are now facing starvation due to the skyrocketing food prices, and the unrest has left thousands of innocents dead, many of their corpses laying in the streets.


Eleras, however, is having his own problems: 3 years ago, his younger brother gathered some followers and attempted to take his throne. There's massive civil war in the Yun Empire, and Eleras is losing. He believes that now more than ever, the money he'll receive from controlling Celir is necessary for him to turn the tide and win back his (legitimate) title. He believes that control of the city (and the reinstitution of trade there) must be achieved at all costs.

[Deathkeeper]

There's always the stereotypical "Inexplicably Technologically advanced Nation." In D&D, this sometimes means anything from having crossbows and running water to going full-blown steampunk.

Also, Kobold nation. Somehow, some way. Bonus points if they're actually quite powerful.
Or both. Both works, too.

[Kitten Champion]

Let me think...

An archipelago used both as a prison and insane asylum for an inland nation, went through an inmate uprising and has since separated. What was once operated as an agrarian slave-plantation system has since become a potent mix of anarchism and loosely affiliated warlords working a largely unstable feudal system.

At the apex of this system is a young sorceress who's used her prowess and wits to keep make all the other powers live in mortal dread of her. She's effectively segregated the sexes in the nation, with the relatively smaller population of women receiving sanctuary in her walled city built along the archipelago's land bridge to their former nation. She's been teaching her subordinates magic creating a small but highly potent cadre of wizardresses. They are slowly bringing the rest of the nation truly under her banner. After she's unified the land, she intends to break apart the physical and magical defences blocking their way inland, and invading their former colonists.
___________________________________________

A sea-side nation ruled by wealthy aristocratic banking and trading houses. Outside of a few rural fishing villages -- the vast majority of the nation's occupants are working for or are in association with one of these houses. Naturally, there's a degree of lavish hedonism and the laws are pretty much whatever the house currently in favour says they are. The society more or less operates well, there's at least one mercenary company working for each house. The brutal effectiveness of these mercenaries is what keeps them employed -- beggars, drifters, and thieves are the most likely to witness this first hand.

One of the defining features of the nation is gambling, anyone who can pay the cover charge can enter the gaming establishments and arenas which are littered throughout the land. Many an unlucky gambler has found themselves in indentured servitude to one house or another being unable to pay up otherwise. They gamble on literally everything, from magical duels to the outcome of wars across the world. The current trend is blood sports, creating vast labyrinthine arenas and having adventurers run their carefully crafted gauntlet has become hugely popular. The aristocrats of the houses are always trying to come up with new and imaginative ways of competing with one another, leading to more and more circuitous and ludicrous ideas -- finding a lost legendary creature, racing to exotic locations, developing the first flying machine -- the depths to which boredom will push them know no bounds.
__________________________________________________ ___

Deep within the heart of a continent, there lay a nameless nation surrounded by mountains. A nation formed of the faithful, believers of all kinds who've converged there over the course of decades. They believe that the route to heaven and their gods, is quite simply, "up". At first this belief was sparked by the commonly held conception that gods lived atop the mountains themselves. This, to the despair of many a climber, would be found lacking. As such this belief was reassessed, the gods lived higher, far higher than nature could raise a man. Thus the course was clear -- make a tower, a bridge to the stars and paradise.

In this nation the economy, society, everything is built around the construct. It's the site of religious reverence and a hotbed of simple commerce. Labourers by the tens of thousands, mining, performing masonry, crafting tools, raising crops to feed workers, an operation of massive proportions.

The society's hierarchy is partly determined by one's importance to the project -- with engineers holding the highest of ranks. However, there are also the clerics and priests who hold equal if not greater positions within the society due to their being at the heart of the endeavour. Technically anyone is capable of rising in this society, which is effectively classless. Because slavery would be seen as an abomination, the workforce is entirely voluntary and paid. However, most of their income is tithed back into the project making it, in the eyes of the faithful -- quite the sacrifice. While most are faithful, many simply appreciate the peace, order, and purpose the nation provides -- or they're running from something and have nowhere else to go.

There are unpleasant rumours about this nation. Whispers of diabolical intentions to raise a zealot army against the world or of disreputable clergymen living luxurious lifestyles stealing from their flock. Whether this is true or simply the exaggerations started by nobility paranoid of losing peasants to them, is unclear. In part the nation is nameless to quell this fear, by remaining anonymous they don't separate themselves from the rest of the world. They are geographically isolated due to the mountains, in a pocket of undefined ownership by the surrounding nations -- rather than claiming their own empire they've been trying to humble themselves and pass unnoticed.

[Joe the Rat]

I've a fondness for Roman-themed hobgoblins, right on the border of the senatorial/imperial shift. They've expanded and taken over everything in the chunk of land behind this massive ancient wall someone had built, acting as an ersatz political boundary. Their entire system built on conquest, they need to expand, lest the whole system collapse into infighting and decay. With nowhere left to go, they've been eyeing the land across the border for further expansion.

Organized military, draconian rule and abuse of power, with Hobgoblins as Citizens and goblins and possibly other conquered races as plebeians.

---

A "nation" of nomadic travelers, traders in exotic goods, in exchange for gold and lore. Highly magical - flying carpets and the like are their primary mode of transport. They may or may not have a capitol "city" in the clouds. Rumor is that they are searching for some lost relic or bit of lore that will lead them to a hidden homeland.

Also, Kobold nation. Somehow, some way. Bonus points if they're actually quite powerful.
Or both. Both works, too.

Kobold seafaring nation, in the "opportunistic traders and occasional raiders" mold. Inadvertently founded when a viking ship-builder was made king of the local tribes, to everyone's surprise. Including the viking.

True story.

[ShadowFireLance]

Kobolds, Who wish to empower the Mighty Pun-pun past the Abilites discribed...
Hmm..
Now I need to make 'Acolyte of the one and the pun' PrC...

[Blightedmarsh]

a nation built entirely within a series of nested extra dimensional holding spaces. The inside is a complex labyrinth where stable mono directional gravity and euclidean geometry is considered an arcane abstraction.

The local populous are four foot eight tall sytaurs. You could describe them as isolationist and xenophobic; where it not for the fact that the government has classified the existence and true nature of the outside world as a state secret.

Said government is a hedonistic theocracy. They believe that the entire universe is carried around by its creator in a sack. The outside is supposed to be a dangerous hellscape peopled only by fiendish monsters, deamons and their victims

The local currency are mobius ring shaped coins forged from (and based on the value of) spuo; a valuable metal used in the construction of variable yardsticks and smelted from rare paradox eggshells.

[therakishrogue]

A mercantile theocracy, with a caste system based upon being recognized as one of the elect. Everyone is born into a role withing the trading houses, and normally remain there for life. But the god(s) they revere show their favor through success in business pursuits, so if a lower caste person is able to found a new trading post in another country or develop a popular invention, they are invited to join the ruling caste of merchant/priests. This leads to a very dynamic society, in which everyone attempts to demonstrate that they are one of the favored. There is a great deal of technological innovation and great wealth among the monied castes, but also unfriendly neighbors when the trading companies get too aggressive in their attempts to dominate trade. Furthermore, piracy and banditry are seen as legitimate pursuits, since anyone who was truly one of the elect would be protected. This can consist of anything from friendly competition between companies to low level civil wars. Dwarves would do well here, in my opinion.

[Grimsage Matt]

Steam Punk or Modernday Tech level Trolls. "Look ya buggers, I don't care what ya think is real. Magic does not exist."

Add in Anti-Magic as a natural aura and the abillities of a 10th level skeptic and BAM! instant disenchanted wizard. Which is facing a troll with a chain gun

[Vixsor Lumin]

a planar portal to a modified version of Carceri where the souls of the truely evil and powerful are kept trapped to prevent their ressurection. the bulk of the populace consists of clerics and paladins who take on the roles of guards and wardens. literally the entire population is organized in a militaristic heirarchy from birth. schools teach combat and protocol during the day and childrens homework are based off of real problems that need a solution, that way they learn real world applications for their lessons and act as a think tank for the leaders. the few citizens who dont serve in combat roles are wizards and artificers tasked with upgrading and maintaining a high magic version of automated alarms and defenses.

they are a neutral nation that is fed and provided for by the other nations in exchange for the service they provide. they are entirely dependant on the outside world for everything from weapons and food, to clothing and clean water.

I have a nation that has undertaken sole responsibility for keeping the truth about the BBEG a complete secret from the rest of the world.

oh its the whole world? i thought it was just the people that were destined to have to fight the BBEG on their behalf

I'm pretty sure a magical skeptic in the typical D&D world would end up much like an atheist in the Discworld - a pair of smoking boots next to a small, hand-painted sign that says 'you're wrong'..





I remember having an undead-centric nation once. It was a highly stratified social caste arrangement of Mindless undead-living laborers-living artisans/merchants-sentient undead. The only practical means of attaining sentience as an undead was mummification, which was expensive, so most people's goals in life revolved around gradually accumulating wealth to ascend into a high class and eventually gain immortality.

[Grimsage Matt]

There is a Class called the Skeptic that uses "Rational Magic". At 10th level they can turn a Dragon into a oversized lizard with wings, with no Spells, spell-like abillies, supernatural abillities or mental abillity scores higher then your average lizard. How do they do that? By a Logic Skill check.

Also, they Radiate Anti8-Magic in the first place, so they can't be affected by magic. But, when exposed to things that upset their world view? Their cynisim is powerful enough to permantly render any magical creature into a totaly non-magical animal (with the corresponding mental stats), and permantly revoke the spellcasting/manifesting abillity from someone.

So, I think gods would be staying a long way away.....

Not in any official sourcebook, there isn't. Even the dread D&DWiki doesn't have this supposed 'Skeptic' homebrew class. So it's worth about as much in any argument as the position that a Commoner can beat the BBEG if his player puts the DM in a headlock until they grant victory.

Taking the conceit that 'Skeptic' would be allowed in a game...Antimagic fields won't protect against having big heavy things dropped on them or thrown at them. Telekinesis, big rock, squish annoying homebrew 'Skeptic' into paste long before he's allowed to level up to actually be threatening.

Gods do the same thing except retroactively, because they can do stuff like that. Or they just ignore the antimagic field with their Salient Divine Abilities and turn him into a newt/rock/pile of ash.

[Grimsage Matt]

Can't acess the site right now, but it's not homebrew, it's OGL. And ya, the gods could do that. But theres Bob, God of Atheists protecting them

[The Glyphstone]

Homebrew and 3rd-party material are the same thing, the only difference is one is (attempted to be) sold for money. Homebrew material sold for profit must adhere to the Open Gaming License, but it's still homebrew.

[Lord Il Palazzo]

There are three named nations in the game I'm running. Feel free to use/steal anythign you like. (I clearly did in a spot or two.)

The City-State of Ravnica* is ruled by a council made up of representatives of powerful trade guilds* based in the capital. It's the most racially diverse of the three nations and tends to let each guild see to its own affairs (for example, the merchants' guild sets most of the City-State's trade policy except where it directly conflicts with the interests of other guilds, at which point the council steps in.) In the capital, citizens are expected to register with the various guilds before performing any "high public risk" behavior. For example, to carry a non-simple weapon or cast spells above level 0, you need to register with the fighters' or mages' guild, respectively. Away from the capital, individual communties enjoy a great deal of autonomy in their own affairs and dealings, so long as their policies fall are within parameters set by the council. Any assistance a smaller community might need is typically contracted from the individual guilds rather than through the council (like hiring the fighers' guild to send someone to clear out some bandits.)

The Queendom of Rochein, ancestral home of the elves, though elves can be found in the other nations and other races do live in Rochein, elves are in the majority. Ruled as a form of benevolent dictatorship by a mage queen with a lot of popularity among the public, Rochein was unified thousands of years ago following a long and bloody elvish civil war that nearly wiped out high elves from the setting. The queen is one of the few remaining high elves, having achieved immortality (or at least a greatly increased lifespan) through means my players have yet to discover.

The Kingdom of Minathica. Very little has been revealed about this nation besides 1) one of the PCs comes from a small village there 2) it recently (within 10 years or so) fought a war with Ravnica which ultimately ended in a very uneasy peace and near total severence of diplomatic relations and 3) there are ninjas, or at least ninja-like warriors there.

*Yeah, I know.

[Grimsage Matt]

K, got a few ideas.

Trolls that use Rational Magic Naturaly, and are a Steampunk Civilization, that worship only a single god, one of Logic, reason and Athesisim. Isolated and wanting to stay that way, the recent enrochment of the shorter lived races may force them to open war.

To the far north, the Hardy Firblog practice their own form of shamanisim, in the art of Rune Magic. Raiders and warriors, they read the omens. Could a day of glory be apon them?

In the icy wastelands of the south, the Grim look skyward, using Astrology even as they fall deeper under the sway of the Oneiromancers.

But, across the land, a taint is spreading. For from the ocean beds, and dark places beyond the gods grasp, mortals are being lured into service. And the towers of R'leth rise, as it's Warped Disciples preach in the streets, and horror's beyonf horror awaken from ages old slumber.




These look good?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

My world has many nations. Several share cultures. Most are dominated by a single race, but some are mixed. I wrote a whole epic history to explain this and everything, it was lots of fun. It's based in 4e, and set in a land divided by great mountain ranges with very few passes.

Inclytum et Maximum Pium Imperium de Natia de Luna, Tiflinium, the Illustrious and Most Righteous Empire of the Nation of the Moon, Tiflininium

Spoiler

Show

is based on the Byzantine/East Roman Empire, very directly. Last corner of an empire that once spanned almost the entire world.
Huge capital, Urbvetus, originally name Artoria after it's founder, built on 4 great hills. Ruled by an Emperor whose palace takes up one entire hill of the city. it is completely walled off.
The second hill is named after their god, Unathrenis, and has a huge temple, the House of the Consistorium where the Council meets to advise the emperor, and the residences of the rich and powerful.
Third hill is Market Hill, which is, well, the place of the working class and shopkeepers. The Harbour is seperate from the hills.
Those three hills and the Harbour are surrounded by the Old Wall, of which only the base and the towers are left. The towers are upkept by the militia, and the citizens are expected to rebuild the wall if the city is ever threatened.
The last hill is on the other side of the river is a second smaller city, Attia, a quiet town with great mansions and great houses mixed in with middle-class folks.

Three provinces are all that remain of the once great empire: Mirus, the breadbasket of the empire, well-irrigated, and the tidal plains, which drive a great salt industry. The capital of Mirus is Prosper, a shoddily-built rapidly growing town based on the wealth of the salt industry.
Inspira was once a heavily-populated province full of towns, but is now a land of ruined towns and fortresses, webs of confusing roads, and constant conflict between the remaining towns and the bandits that prey upon caravans and travellers. The capital of Inspira is Novicus, after the decline of the old capital of Dilava, now a ruin. Novicus is a port-town, and the departure point to the colony of Tinderus.
Susicivus is notable as being the most racially mixed province. Elsewhere, the human, elvish and orcish slaves are fairly uncommon. Many freed slaves live in Susicivus, in addition to 2 or 3 free tribes in the north of the region, and even more past the mountains. The free tribes past the mountains often raid the area, salting the lands and turning them infertile.
The last province is the colony of Tynderia, on the southern reaches of a cold island. It is the first new conquest since the fall of the Empire.

The humans of Sisicuvus: the Poccnr

Spoiler

Show

are on the most part naturalized, and in manners and culture indistinguishable from the Tieflings. The few remaining tribes are known collectively as the Poccnr, descendents of the horse-tribes who ruled the plain before conquest by the Tieflings. There are three tribes south of the Northrange Mountains, and many tiny splintered groups in the land known as Nasha Zemlya, between the Northrange and the Wall.
Of the three major tribes, the Boln'shoyn are almost completely settled and sedentary, growing oats primarily, seeking to please the Tieflings. The Benliki are in the process of becoming sedentary, but still cling to as many aspects of their old culture as they can.
The N'Pravda, however, are not a traditional tribe, but a new reactionary group of firebrands, escaped slaves, malcontents, fighting a constant battle against the Empire, protecting their old way of life, led by a man who goes only by Nepbyoschennik, or High Priest. The N'Pravda seek to unite the raiding groups of Nasha Zemlya under their banner, and reconquer their old homelands.

The Viking-Stereotype: The Atheinsfolk

Spoiler

Show

These hardy northern folk live in the mountainous volcanic islands north of the Empire, which have only just started being colonized. They mostly live in scattered housesteads in clusters of 4-5 families, yet travel often. Family honour is held quite highly. There are 3 large islands that they live on: Sparaland, Vorland, and Eldurland. Eldurland is the northernmost, and the most inhospitable, a place of ice and fire. It is from Eldurland that the Atheinsfolk left to colonize the other more fertile islands. They have very few towns, which are hardly walled and spacious. They also have colonies in the deep forests of Lassus north of the Wall (think Redwood forests, but with the trees much closer together), despite the dangers. They trade with the native icetribes of Eislanden and Kuldiland, trading iron and wooden goods for white bear hides and the tusks of strange northern beasts.
The Atheinsfolk are a nation without a government, really.

Just to give a taste of the kinda thing I have. I also have nomadic Halfling gypsy-inspired caravans known as the Utazas (notable in being the only group capable of making it across the great deserts);
the militaristic Shansle goblin peoples of the desert, including the great city of Chasna-le, a city of burnished brass, clay brick, and white-and-blue cloths on the shore of the largest oasis, a holy spot for the Shansle, ruled by a large dragon;
The Navergu elves who populate the lower mountains and lesser valleys of the Great Divide and World's End Mountains. They build villages of wood, propped on stilts on the slopes and held up with rope. They're mildly xenophobic, slow to trust anyone not from the village, slower to trust any non-Navergu, and slowest to trust any non-elves.
The Dwaerre, or Dwarves live in underground cities underneath the Great Divide, which almost no non-Dwaerre will ever see. They have one city-fortress above ground, the fortress of Dwarvengate which guards the mountain pass of the same name, the safest way to pass from the eastern to the western half of the continent.
the other Elvish cultures of the Orja, who are left scattered in the forests of the western half of the continent, each king ruling each forest, and the Mitte-Ori, the elves who escaped the civilizing slavery of the Tiefling empire in the impenetrable jungles south of the equally impenetrable World's End Mountains.
The Mensheid gnomes mostly live in the swamps, though also run the great multicultural city built on the ruins of the first Tiefling capital: think medieval London built on Roman ruins.
Of the humans, of the west are more populous than those of the east. The Einsemvolk fight over petty lordships and stone keeps in their north-western islands: think medieval France at it's worst. The main kingdoms are Meerenderich, Blaushafreich, and Roteshafreich.
The Nordbor kingdom of Rikenorr is a new one, recently modernized on the model of the Einsemvolk, uniting the human tribes of the lands between the Grey and White Mountains, and lusting for land, wealth and conquest... The current king's great-grandfather, Alf the Uniter, united them. His grandfather Guddkarlik Byggare, built the capital city. His father Alf II Nyabringer, completely reformed the tribal society to a feudal one. Now Guddfrid Heavysword seeks to make his name
The Eohfolc are a wide-spread culture of poets and mounted warriors, in direct conquest to their neighbours the Oameni, a society built in the hillier southwest, who pride themselves on their cities and knowledge, their philosophers and scientists.
The Volcan were conquered by the Oameni, and are ruled by the Oameni Volcan Bay. The Volcan nobility still hold sway under the Oameni king in the south, but have been forcibly intermarried, and taken the Oameni religion.
The Orcs? Slaves in every culture. A free orc is uncommon.
There's also a culture in the Fens, which has at least one city, Brrunsktun, but I haven't fleshed them out yet.

And that's only the nations of the "familiar" continent. The original homeland of the human race, the isles of Man Xi are a caste-based oppressed society ruled by vampiric Rakshasa. The Golden Continent is the homeland of the Elves and Orcs. I haven't written anything about Elvish culture in the Jade Isles, but the Orcs live a rough tribal steppe life in the deserts. Most of the actually good land on the Golden Continent is taken up by Mindflayer and Rakshasa kingdoms.

There's also a continent of the strange Daoine people, a tall, spindly race with 4 arms who've recently begun to show up in great ships on the coasts of the main continent.

There's 2 more continents: one is almost completely occupied by undead. The last has a yuan-ti culture in the jungles, and a gith culture in the more desert area on the other side of the mountains, who are in constant conflict with the undead, but I haven't fleshed those out either.

Most of the cultures have multiple kingdoms though: the Einsemvolk have 6 independent states, the Oameni have 7, the Eohfolk 7.

I've written almost 13,000 words of stuff for that world. And I still have barely anything

And my map is only detailed really for the continent of Arc, very roughly for Man Xi and the Daoine continent, and only coastlines for the other continents... I haven't done anything on it for almost 2 years though... I have so much work, so many other projects to do ongoing, ugh!

The pronouncation is "Gween chahn er Gweell", by the way, though I usually just slur it like Gwin channer Gwill.

as for remembering, I usually just go by Gwyn. If you mean how I remember it, I've been using it since I was a kid, it's like a second name to me. If someone on the street shouts out Gwyn, I'll turn expecting to see a Playgrounder.

You forgot the part where the troll is in a tank, and has enough firepower to kill a fully magical dragon. Plus, all that metal? It's Dead Iron and those bullets? Those are solid Voidmetal rounds. They're so non-magical that all magical creatures know to avoid them. Plus the Dragon would be reduced to a INT of 2 Way better then Dragon Doom weapon enchantments in me book.

Think of what they can do to Spellcasters, warlocks, outsiders, elementals, undead, magic items etc...

[ShadowFireLance]

heh...So? Besides, I HIGHLY doubt Tiamat would like that.

[Grimsage Matt]

Ya, but Deep Trolls mostly stay in their underground supercitys. They're there, if you manage to stumble into one, but the surface? Nothing of value whatsoever from their stand point.

The Isolated Arrogant jerks who the gods find is easier to leave alone (they don't do anything anyway) then get rid of.
