[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 1613703, member: 1125"] I'd cast your Nederlands in the role of the Hanseatic league - a league of city-states uled by a Plutocracy of Guild Merchants who because of their wealth and control of Trade have gained virtual independence from the surounding monarchies (this gives a reason for them to be reviled but also makes the monarchists somewhat dependent on them for access to trade) In the pseudo-16th Century world I homebrewed I set Spain and Italy as a Theocracy under the authority of the Grand Inquisitor (the background being that the worlds equivalent of Torquemada was made Pope and then set about removing the old monarchy under accusations of heresy!). The Inquisiton Lands are now a major area of oppression in the world (the Grand Inqusitor also has a dark secret). Granada however is still part of the Ottomon empire and a major thorn in the Inquisitions side Austro-Hungarians I cast as a Grand Duchy, and essentially an Oligarchy of powerful 'Noble Families' each controlling its own county and defering to the Grand Duke in times of war and crisis (um pretty much like your France now that I re-read it). The Crisis is increasing as the Otomon threat surges forward bringing fell magics from the desert sands Of course I made England and Northenr France a Protectorate under the Lord Protector (ie Cromwell didn't die and the Protectorate flourished) However Ireland and Scotland (and the risen Lyonesse) became Sidhe country, meaning that the Protectorates Puritans were constantly warring with Witches and Fey Russian I left under the Golden Horde, still tribal and factionalised, scheming Vampires and savage werewolves of course:D (plus the Mongol connection meant all those funky asian elements - like Monks, Ninja and King Monkey could be justified) Nice Spell system and have you considered using the D20 Modern Talents system?
