[quote=@Dinh AaronMk] Well, here's a thought game to play: If the Roman empire comes from Roman as a demonym for a resident of Rome, then to be cheeky the same logic can be rolled out for the RP and pointing to how [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4654615]Gorgenmast is set up in the old imperial capital[/url], he takes up the name of the Empire, and the Empire is spoke of as the city. Bing bang boom. [/quote]That does help a lot. I know this is a minor plot detail for me but I wanted to be accurate. Thank you! [quote=@Dinh AaronMk] In any case: immediate things that stick out to me that you need to answer: Your people spill out across two language zones but I'm so far not reading a lot of indication that this is being considered. Terkhazia - the northern coast lands to that last major bend in the river - is its own thing of pseudo-Slav speak and then there's the the Old Imperial Language quarters.[b] Unless in the past they invaded in great force from somewhere else and thus probably had enough of a large ruling class over top that actively refused to speak either[/b]-or then I'm not sure it would work given the language geography. So your nation also plops you down in an area relevant to [@Erik Tiber]. [/quote]It's kind of like that. See the largest island in my possession, the one with rather unusual shape? That's Yllendost, the home island of the Yelinor. The rest are other islands they've gradually either colonized or taken over. Then some hundreds of years ago they began their imperial ambitions and kept expanding while also conquering other nations. Forget language regions, they have multiple species under the same empire including humans, elves, trolls, dwarves and even centaurs. Probably also goblins and orcs to some extend but I am undetermined on that. Will depend on what neighbors I get and so does their lifestyle in my empire. Would they be free, prohibited from moving, enslaved or even treated like animals? It all depends on what culture is at the region where I'd have greenskins ( if any). As for culture they had their own thing going on for millennia in relative isolation out on the seas. If thousands of kilometers of water in isolation isn't a sufficient barrier to facilitate cultural differences then nothing will be.
