And now for something completely different:

National stereotypes in Eloa: When RL makes writing difficult, worldbuild!

Hyem: Potato prudes, think they're better than the rest of us, probably have rules on which underwear for each formal event, crazy militarists were still horse-fucking steppes savages, like, a week ago? on the bright side, make great bread and grow pretty flowers, also largely considered the most beautiful people on the continent.

Adalas: Clannish motherfuckers argue all the time how does their Oldest Democracy in Eloa even function, but thank god for that because otherwise who knows what this nation of industrialist geniuses might come up with. Only thing they hate more than each other is foreigners. Language snobs. Beer snobs. Religion snobs. Fuck 'em up, Hyem!

Ilyiga: Is Ilyiga a thing or are they just three different nations in a trenchcoat? Civil war surprises no one, still amazed that it surprised the Ilyigans. Hot-blooded romantic Natural Simple People with the aesthetic of drugged bower birds. Born knowing how to cook the best food. We thank them for introducing us to coffee but cannot comprehend how they drink theirs so strong.

Schervo: Not Hyem's back end, apparently. Even more potatoes, but make booze out of them. Every family has three saunas one for everyday one for guests and one for orgies. Godless fiends but not scary ones since the entire country between them own three potatoes and a goat.

Lansikaa: Invented buttsex. It is known. Possbly have nothing but buttsex to avoid looking at each other's weird faces. Greedy hedonist libertines, let women vote????? Not as smart as the Adalans but twice as good with money. Economy subsists entirely on guns, cheese, and porn.

Yes, yes it is. She also admires the ingenuity of turning potatoes into booze! (She doesn't know Saskia used to be Russian.)
