[QUOTE="Thyrwyn, post: 6515301, member: 12354"] what form of government do they have? What type of society do they have? Who appears to be in charge? Who is really in charge? Do the people at the bottom of the social order support the social order or are they forced to accept it? What about the people at the top? What are their military/magical forces like? How are they run? Who's in charge of them? Is it the same as the society as a whole, or different? Why? What members of society are most likely to balk at the status quo? What don't they like, why don't they like it, and how would they work to change it? How would you describe the nation to a foreigner, and how would you describe the nation to a native (in a sentence or two)? An easy way to do names: pick a language who's sound you like to represent the nation (let's use German); find an online dictionary/translator for English/German; look up words that describe what you want to name (like port, city, seaport, town, wet, wave, etc...); mash a couple of them together, change them a little if you want, and you have a name. Meerstadt sounds like a German city. Just be consistent. [/QUOTE]
