Odd Hobbies

Skimming through art sites and some forums, I discovered some individuals that have done alternate history and totally made-up worlds and nations nearly from scratch.  Although they put more emphasis on an almost made-from-scratch military, they also put a huge amount of details into government structure, economy, culture, technology, geography, politics, history, and conflicts.

All of a sudden, now I'm outlining my own original nation, with focuses on modern and 1940's eras.  I've created my country's monarchy and government, my armed forces, my currency and economy, and I'm working on map, geography, architecture, and technology.  As for languages, I'm using French as an equivalent.

Anyone else into strange hobbies like this?

Speaking of which, I have just discovered NationStates.net, a site where you can build your own country.  And this place has over 8,000 different countries!

I recommend researching Micronations, such as the Republic of Molossia. It's basically what you sound like you're doing, taken up to 11

I did research of that, and it's surprising that there were more out there than I thought.

But as for what I've been doing, it's more for fictional story purposes.  But I never expected to be putting so much detail into the functions of this nation.
