mkay so I reeeeeaaaallllllyyy want to make my own fantasy universe and world and such. It would be a lot of work. A LOT so I won't beg for help but help would be awesome. I might either use this as an rp or book, I'm still deciding so yeah. I should start planning haha
To do list: Starting out: Name of country: Sanora (san-or-uh) Basic geography (also in progress of making a map) Language?Post One: Economy - goods and where they are made- major trading goods- trading centers- banks?- currency- flat or commodity money?- people's attitude towards money- people's attitude towards poverty- how easy is counterfeiting?Basic Government - What services does the government or head-of-state provide? - Are schools, wells, courts, and the army paid for by taxes? - What local or private services are provided by the government? - What services do people expect from their government? - What do people owe their government? - Do people pay their government in taxes, in labour, in crops, in military service? - Who provides support services for the head of state and what are they called (examples: councilors, ministers, secretaries, viziers)? - Are offices hereditary, elected, or appointed? - Can a government office be a career choice? - Who will take over running the government if the current head-of-state is incapacitated? - How is succession determined? - Who is responsible for protecting the head-of-state (aka province)? - What safeguards does the head-of-state have against assassins, poison, assault, and other methods of harm? - Who can give orders (to the military, to the tax collectors, to the civil servants, to ordinary folks on the street?) - Are any activities licensed or certified (driving, dog ownership, being an attorney or a physician)? - Who does the certification or licensing? - Is it merely formal (pay a fee, and get a license), or are there qualifications to meet? I'll stop there for now. Once I finish that I'll move onto the next step: Crime and Legal System

basic geography:
Ocean to North and South, bordered by the Republic of Kamenia to the west, and Jebustam to the east. Trees and forests to the south, rocky beaches in the north. Moth of the lands are plains with hills and few trees, the middle of the land is mountainous, dividing the region in half.
On northern islands, they are mainly rocky beaches, with pines on the largest islands. The others are very plain, with only hills

okay that's a relief lol because I spent like four hours on it haha The political map I'll do by hand because I already have a copy drawn up Should we make a language? I feel like that would be pretty complicated but idk, unless you're a linguist by chance? XD

Post by lazy penguin on Mar 14, 2017 17:58:06 GMT -5
Lol, no linguist here!
I think a language might be a little too complex, though if you wanted to make a couple of common phrases that might be interesting. The ones I've used in my novels are usually based off German because that's the only other language I know!

Post by Deleted on Mar 14, 2017 18:10:56 GMT -5
I wanted to make a few phrases actually you read my mind should they be from a language we highly doubt anyone would know, or make up our own?
|
|
|
Post by lazy penguin on Mar 14, 2017 18:12:07 GMT -5
We could take them from an obscure language and then edit them slightly?

Post by Deleted on Mar 14, 2017 18:13:39 GMT -5
that works! What language? I tend to use Finnish for some reason haha

Post by lazy penguin on Mar 14, 2017 18:15:21 GMT -5
That's funny I was going to say Finnish! The country just seems to have that kind of flair I guess.

Also, Adjectives are really nice to have because you can through them into descriptions.
Maybe words like:
Beautiful Ugly/Hideous Cold Hot Ect.
