Real-Life Equivalent Nations

Postby vijaya » Fri Aug 17, 2012 5:59 pm

I'm interested to know what RL countries people think Terran nations are similar to. Obviously Terran nations unique with RL cultural influences, but in terms of global influence; economic organisation (neo-liberal, capitalist nations like the USA, or social democratic nations like Norway) and similar patterns of behaviour between Terran and RL nations, for example the USA's interventionist foreign policy in Middle Eastern nations, or isolationist countries like North Korea or to a lesser extent.

Does the highly neo-liberal and corporate Keymon have a RL equivalent? Or does the libertarian socialist Ikradon have a RL brother? etc

Curious for people's thoughts!

This is bound to stir-up controversy because people will complain that Terra isn't Earth, and that if my country is like this country in real-life then I should be as power as they are...blah blah.

I've always seen Ikradon as like the English North Korea.

Anyway, Dorvik is a mix of Germany, the Baltic States and Russia.

Mordusia would be an almost developed, liberal nation that tends to distance itself.

It could be compared to Belize, having a mestizo culture that doens't quite fit its (Anglo-Saxon) heritage. The elite is mostly white, with minority (Aldurian, Saridani) orgins. Think of it as a Spain for Britons.

Keymon reminds me of some neoliberal tax-haven island, like Jersey or the Isle of Man, but a nation-state. Taiwan? Singapore, but an island?

Haha, yeah, except Ikradon is an extremely socially libertarian society. I like to think it's like Anarchist Spain/Catalonia during the Civil War, with a bit more of a 'State'!

Actually, Beluzia would be more like the UAE.
They have a monarch for each of the 7 emirates, which unite as the UAE - neither considered a monarchy nor a republic. The Emir of each Emirate is a member of the Emir Council. Each emirate is its own monarchy (like in Beluzia).

The UAE is more of an elective monarchy since the leader is appointed by a vote done by the Emir Council.

In Beluzia, the head of state can be directly elected by the people to a "silver throne" status, but the federal council can promote the monarch to a "gold throne" status where the position doesn't stand in elections.
Kristov II was HoS for a long while because the federal council promoted him to the gold throne status. At the end of his reign, an election was held for his successor.

And to think of it, we're right next to big old conservative Luthori. Their influence could be compared to Saudi Arabia, and we could be compared to the UAE in regards to influence. We're not very influential, but we find ourselves with influential friends.
Check out my latest Particracy project, and feel free to discuss it in the forums.
