Hello all. I run the country of Gaed, located on the south coast. I think this can be a place to state a summary of our nations, to give a "feel" for each nation. I can start.
Gaed is a country based on the Nordic countries, mainly Denmark and Norway. Like the real world counterparts, they have a rich warrior culture, where the nation used to be made up of clans of coastal raiders. Years after, a warrior-king named Gaeda United the clans in war and savvy diplomatic (think Viking Bismark). Under his expansionist efforts, the country of Gaed was founded, along with a strong central government.
Nowadays, the Gaedlanders warrior culture makes for a strange diplomatic atmosphere. They value discipline and similarity, and disapprove of individuality. They also care deeply for the country at large, who they view as brotherhood. Because of this, they have founded a mostly socialist government, though they are quite conservative in nature.
The national language of Gaed is New Gaed English, a modernized version of the older tongue. It is quite similar to modern English, with the exception of some words and pronunciations. Most everyone in the country can still speak Old Gaed English, while some elders speak it exclusively. OGE uses faster, more guttural speech, with words and word patterns incredibly confusing to a foreigner.
The climate in Gaed is varied. The plains between Klarflod and White River are of moderate temperature, often getting snow in the winter. The north regions are covered in boreal forest and high mountain ranges. The south coast fjords around Stormbay are colder then the surrounding area, mostly due deadlines blocking the sun. The southwest gets comparably warmer, going years at a time without snow touching the ground.
