In my story, I like to give nations titles, which are somewhat accurate as I am a history geek. I respect history, and titles are the coolest way to remember something.

England, Nation without Mythology. Which is an extravagant of Tolkien's lament that England doesn't have enough mythology.

The United States of America, Nation without Legacy. This came from the fact that the U.S as a whole is made of countless cultures from different parts of the world, it has no legacy of its own by nature.

China, The Ever Reformed. To me, the most striking part of China is its tendency to break apart and reform ever so often, yet able to keep its culture.

Germany, Nation of Iron and Blood. From the man who united Germany, Otto von Bismarck, who I think set the course of history for the nation, from its power to its resilience industry. Though I think its more Iron than Blood atm.

Vietnam, Nation of Rebellion. This is my country, so I know it well, what really define Vietnam in the annals of history is its people, the nature to fight against oppression and tyranny, many had tried and all had failed to take away my nation's independence.

Mongolia, Ghost of the Horde. This is all subjective tbh, who knows if Mongols one day decided to hop on horses and fuck the world again, but this is in reference to Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire and how far the mighty had fallen into a shell of its former self. Not my proudest title since my understanding of Mongolia is pretty shallow compare to its historical counterpart.

And I have more in stock, also some ancient nations like the Roman Empire, Nation of Unity.

What do you guys think about this? Do you guys ever create something and give it title in your novel or give existing places cool titles with a modern day setting like me?

Yes, this is just me geeking out

Don't you dare. Don't even think about that overused joke about my country, or I will be angry reacting to every comment of yours until the end of May.

Nah don't worry, I'm not one for poorly made jokes.

Any Austrians here I could trigger by calling it the It-wasn't-me-it-was-Germany nation?

@Voidiris what do you think of this statement as a German?

I found a title for Hungary, The Tower's Successor. In reference to Nimrod, the guy who built the Tower of Babel, who was said to the ancestor to the Hungarians in myth, and how its culture attracted a lot of Asian.

Well in the past many would have said that Austrian is German and it was Germany.
I would call it Germany for poor people. I don't have the most positiv opinion on Austria as you can see.
And that's not because I see them as a bunch of traitors for distancing themselves from the Austrian rulers activities of that time.

Well England actually has some Mythos, they just suck ass except for Nessie.
(You can see I'm currently somewhat aggressive in behaviour.)

I take great issue with the idea that America is a nation without legacy. America had, until very recently, 50% of the population descendant from the people of the original 13 colonies. The multi-culti-melting pot bullshit is propaganda designed to strip white Americans of their ethnic identity, so they can be demographically replaced in their own country.

Well, we do and don't have legacy. For one thing, there's no true picture of the average American. If you want to say "original 13 colonies", I'd point to the Indians, or Native Americans, and ask "they were here long before them." Ever since its founding, America has had a sort of melting pot identity, which in turn became its legacy. Our legacy is that we host so many other legacies that it all blends into one.
