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?
