The Republic of Basran: another Imagi-Nation drawn from my childhood (the series if not this particular album) comic books… |

Excellent stuff. I've toyed with the idea of creating a wholly-fictional continent inhabited by countries drawn from fiction; Tin-Tin, Buck Danny (will need to hunt some issues of this down now!), the Ace Combat series, Ruritania, Laurania, etc…. -Will |

Ah yes, Buck Danny. Franco-Belgian-created US Navy pilot, who joined up right after Pearl Harbor (in fact, he was at Pearl Harbor as a civilian). After the Korean War, Danny, Tumbler and Tuckson have fought mainly in imagi-nations, or against trans-national spies like Lady X. Danny also stopped aging once he reached the highest rank a pilot can get to and still fly. |

@wminsing
Not sure I want to go all fictional, but I'm working down my laundry list of comic books small imagi-nations… Stay tuned! |

@Jakar Nilson
That's them all right, by any standard my single most read series as a kid! |

Just added a Basrani roundel concept… Extrapolating from the flag along the same lines as the Yugoslavian one.

Avram Davidson's Limekiller stories are set in a fictional Carribean country, British Hidalgo: link Ole Bob Blaine, he done gone,
Ole Bob Blaine, he done gone,
All me money done gone,
Gone to Spanish Hidalgo! Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle is set in another Carribean fantasy island, the Republic of San Lorenzo, with its unique native religion Bokanonism: link Lots of good material in both places. |

Can I advertise a tiny bit? link If you want some campaign rules to go with your imaginary backwater :-) |
| Trojan Points | 02 Jun 2015 9:26 p.m. PST |
Basran is not a backwater: it's a proud country of nearly 80 millions citizens that's been the cradle of civilization while you guys where still banging stones together and dragging your wife along by their hair! |

@zippyfusenet I've got another 20 imagi-nations to write about just going trough my childhoor comics, but your books are on my reading list, thanks! |

@Weasel Be my guest! In fact I used Not Just a Brush War to make up the "Marxist Earth Succession of Bbore" just a couple of days ago… Just a bit of writing up and I'll post it. |
| Weasel | 03 Jun 2015 3:14 p.m. PST |
Sweet, look forward to seeing it :-) |
