And even then, gnomes, halflings and sometimes dwarves get the short end of the stick (pun intended) when it comes to having full nations. I think I can count on one hand the number of gnome nations. Primarily, humans and elves get full nations with dwarves getting isolated mountain holds, and then everyone else gets the equivalent of scattered villages. Their are exceptions (Mystara, Krynn and Eberron being the biggest examples) I will admit. The one reversal from the Spellplague I wish wasn't undone was the Dragonborn nation from Abeir coming over whole cloth and replacing Unthur. Yes it was hamfisted, but I liked the Dragonborn being aliens who came over and were stranded on a new world and had to navigate nation building over again in a familiar homeland with unfamiliar neighbors. Undoing that forced them back into "scattered tribes and villages" trope.</blockquote>
