Title: TAIJITU MAP: NPC Ideas and names
Post by: St Oz on November 22, 2015, 08:12:56 AM
Post all of the NPC nation ideas/names you always wanted but never had. I can't come up with like 150ish names/cultures by myself.

Ok...so this is a bit theoretical because the latest map updates aren't through yet, but here's my idea.

 A Native American-themed NPC nation bordering the CSSD once it's added. The idea being that the CSSD began life as a series of Pyrdainian colonies that were eventually overrun by this NA themed nation. The deal was that Prydainia wouldn't attempt to retake the land if the colonists were granted equal rights.
Flash forward around 100 years later and tensions lead to these former colonies declaring independence at the CSSD.

NA-inspired people and culture, though modernized.
Name: Unified Tribes of Lakotah

Try this? 

http://fantasynamegenerators.com/country_names.php#.VlHhvvmrSHs  (just country names)

http://fantasynamegenerators.com/country-descriptions.php#.VlHh3fmrSHs (country names and some info)

You can adjust as needed.

Subcontinent of Libia:
Mahara, a large desert nation rich in oil and poor in civil rights/infrastructure.
North Jingo, small corrupt dictatorship/international pariah state.
South Jingo, modern democratic-socialist nation known for eccentric pop-stars, cinema, soap-operas and beautiful public spaces.
Deez, known as the primary source of modern pirates, largely considered a failed state.

Mahara already exists in Phoenixia with about the same type of resources. "Mahara Desert" is a common reference in my RP.

Yep.

Speaking of which, why not bring Honto back?  We could put it between our nations or something.  What do you say?  :D

Honto is an island in the Delphic bay. What you can create is Seijin colonies/nations. Sure. I'll help with that.

Main indo-Phoenixian population dispersion:

The Filipinos needed a foreign empire to subjugate them for a long time before they revolted. Just long enough for them to get the taste and essence of the alien peoples into the culture, yet benevolent enough to allow the flourishing of tribes in its colonial era.

Yes. The Spanish Empire. But like, not really. I shall call it Esvintia.

I was thinking names of nations near me, having Pelagian names.  I've RP'd a little on my nation's start fighting Pelagian tribes, perhaps some organized and became formal nations?

Well considering you're in a temperate zone, they most definitely made a formal nation.

I'm sure Elu can help you out there with Pelagian names.

Small island nation by Filipino Southwest. Molu.
Country by the Western Cefnor (or whatever that big fat continent is called) area. Temperate. New Szczontekeill.

List of defunct NS Nations I brought back during that one military action months ago that are free to use if you'd like:

The United Tribes of Lazooni - A large, landlocked, plains country with a religion focused around the sacred giraffe.  An anarchic, loose Confederation, but hyper-environmentalist.  Poachers are executed, and if they've poached giraffes, their deaths are long, slow, and painful.

The Grand Duchy of Urgolon - A country once inhabited by people whose appearance and names are akin to Koreans, it was later settled by English-like people. Now it is balanced between the two races fairly equally.  Generally very conservative, except on economic matters.  Also their culture is staunchly naturist.

Kingdom of Nuatain - A Celtic-themed elective monarchy.  Known for a sexually liberated culture that's also hyper-violent, with dueling still being legal.

Kingdom of Suwannaphum - A socially conservative but economically left-wing nation inhabited by South-east Asian like peoples. Unstable past.

Another idea I had for NPCs is we could retire nations into NPC status or revive old national identities as such. Got thinking about my old nation of Uichi Ryu and the comparative oddness of Khem, then it occurred to me that these would both make great NPCs. Then I was all like whoa dude could you just give up nations like that? I responded to myself gently, of course. What would I do after? Anything I want of course. Would making a new nation really make you happy? Usually does, plus having them on the map means not really having given up on their existence just of narrative dominance. Then I had agreed with myself that this was a good plan. Hell this might even become a trend. I'm going to wait for the new map to be finished (FUCKING OZ GET UR SHYT 2GETHR :P )I will let a process of geography determine my future creation. I will likely continue using Khem until such time as my new mindchild is birthed.
