[quote=@Sigma]And I'd imagine West Lamonia will be quite interesting, being somewhat close to, but a safe distance near a conflict hotspot.[/quote]

Hence my desire for an enormous weapon of frankly ambiguous utility for when [s]shit kicks off[/s] tensions rise. :P
(won't abuse, promise)

[quote=@Monkeypants]Consumerism drives this fairly similar to today's culture. Small and large businesses alike vie for power and prosperity among an ever growing and evolving population. This open economy model has allowed for a wide variety of products and the lax laws on certain things such as guns and automobiles has created huge leaps in designs through constant competition. This competition does not stop at guns and automobiles though. Music and Motion pictures are a huge growing market throughout the nation.[/quote]

So, either the NAU values West Lamonia as a great place to do trade or is envious of it or both. If the NAU is a capitalistic nation, there's probably some rich people who like going on holiday. Just spitballing.

Would it be worth compiling a list of races, who they are, where they're geographically located and such? That way, when creating demographics for places with high levels of migration, we can kinda integrate all our ideas. Also, it'd be a useful reference without having to go into the Character Sheets.
