NekoKnight Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think it can work, as it did in Tellius, to give one example. They should definitely be careful of spreading themselves too thin but a small handful of nations should work. They can start with a general characterization of a nation (using classes, gender ratios, unique appearances, etc.) and then show us the outliers and variations of those story tropes. To bring up Tellius again, we know that Daein has a lot of racists in it, but we also learn that there were a bunch of people who were okay with Ashnard just because he offered some social nobility. The really important thing is to have characters from each nation who show us not just the "what" their nation is up to, but the why. It's not enough to know Nation B is assisting Nation A in the invasion of Nation C, we should know what Nation B stands to gain, maybe their history with Nations A&C which would lead them to this alliance.
