Message: <blockquote data-quote="WalterKovacs" data-source="post: 4849643" data-attributes="member: 63763">In the 4e concept it's quite possible to have a Primal society (a nature worshiping society), an Arcane society, a Divine/religious society (presumably the setting has something similar to Eberon in terms of a pantheon of gods that is the 'standard' for that society) and a martial society.  The "problem" with countries based on classes is that presumably they'd need to rely on each other to survive. A party exclusively made up of one class wouldn't really work out to well, so how would an entire society like that work? On the other hand, its possible to cover most of the bases with a single power source (martial lacks a controller option). While party's may not form the basis of society, it would make sense that any military would require people the fufill the basic party roles to succeed. In terms of out of combat skills ... each society would need general ability to various degrees in the non combat areas, but there could be a sort of Switzerland that excels in the non-combat areas to a degree where it can remain neutral to the more militarily powerful nation by being indispensible in their ability to bridge the gap between the other nations, free trade, etc, etc, etc. The racial make up of each area would therefore be tied in part to the prefered class/race combinations. Humans would be everywhere, but the 'smart' races, and charismatic ones, would be arcane. Wise races would be primal and/or divine. Dextrous races would be martial. Strong and tough races would mostly be martial or primal, etc, etc, etc.</blockquote>
