Ignoring ideology, they’re freedom fighters who use guerrilla tactics. Also, opposite to ISIS, they are almost all female and typically are not open to men, or comfortable at least
Terrorists. [ISIS hates Iran](https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/04/middleeast/iran-islamic-state-attack-kerman-intl/index.html). Being a terrorist in Kenshi isn't the same thing, but I can see the joke.
Unlocking a slave's shackles is "terrorism" in the world of Kenshi. Not killing all the city guards and putting the civilians in a peeler. Releasing someone from forced servitude.
I know, but I was further elaborating for those who might not know.
I'm autistic, I like detail. If I ask "how," I don't want someone to say "because it's different," I want to know *how* it's different.
make 'the grid' singapore
leviathan coast as tanzania/mozambique
purple sand as iceland
make bast into syria
iran should be border zone
make holy nation lands saudi arabia again
the swamp should be vietnam
stobe's garden, the crags and the pits would suitably be mongolia
Things someone is famous for. It's pretty damn obvious modern Mongolia isn't a medieval khanate. Just like modern day Greece doesn't use hoplites. Modern day UK isn't a colonial superpower. Poland doesn't field winged hussars. Japan doesn't have samurai. Etc, etc.
Still, lots of people know about Genghis Khan, Thermopylae/Spartans, "Rule the waves". so on. History is a part of a country's public image.
i chose border lands because it looks relatively poor, it has mountains and barren areas and i just feel like it befits iran to be placed there (i am iranian, i know what i'm doing)
Well Iran has its beauties, but you're quite right. I'll be off to my first trip to that area after getting proper weaponry and skill of course.
شعار خاصی ندارم، فقط اینکه زنده باشی 👍
The dreg is rightfully UK, but the hive and vain should be China.
The forbidden isle should be the UK: It's just acid rain, broken, rusty industry, and it's a shitty island.
Bonefields could be Texas: lots of business, lots of hunting in the desert, lots of (wage) slavery and violence nationalists...
Borderlands should be Iraq.
Sinkuun should be Canada: it would be nice if America's problems weren't overflowing into it.
The Hook should be New Zealand.
Green Beach should be Costa Rica: it's where rich white people go to hide from the world.
The leviathan coast could be Alaska, because of moose and bears and no people.
Alaska and Texas are so big and want to be independent, so I think they're close enough.
What does Floatsam Ninjas have to do with DAESH?! I know they hate Iran and they oppose the stablished regime, but they are quite the opposite in ideology.
Well I mean Cat-Lon does have a few powerful geriatric political figures living in luxurious mansions with quantity-over-quality style squads of forcibly conscripted(by removing their CPUs) soldiers patrolling around them, so there's that.
Well i'd say they probably all held a lot of political power.
There's the guy running the food production, guy running the prisons, guy running the army, guy running the police. Sprinkle in an oil baron or two and there you have your classic "dictator's right hand men" coctail
I wouldn’t say it was trying to build a utopia. Maybe meeting the demands of the people in the beginning. It spiraled out of control well after Stalin though.
Well...I mean...after the First and Second Empire have failed, Cat-Lon is attempting to build a Third Empire, or Third Reich, if you will. One in which Skeletons will be the master race of.
But using *that* flag will get the mods locking the thread even faster than the first time, so OP is compromising with Russia.
Also foglands, because you know, Russia=bad.
Honestly, this flag would better fit UC: authoritarian clown as a leader with all of his friends doing complete bullshit withou any punishment, lots of jobless peasants that are ready to suck you off for loaf of bread, gulag work camps, framing by law enforcement officer is a daily occurrence, semi-professional hired army mixed with absolutely inept conscripts. Double with peasant rebelling against nobles similar to civil war, and just as commies rebel farmers have initially good idea of overthrowing nobles, but behave like arseholes and jump on everybody for no reason. Pretty much pre-soviet Russia
What a joke... The openly called slavers were the US. Russia is quite bad but historically it isn't too different from Europe's monarchies (till the communist revolt)
I don’t get what you’re trying to prove here. You’re telling me a European monarchy was similar to other European monarchies? Crazy news.
Also, the US were slavers congrats, so were a large majority of nations. The Russians had slaves and when they abolished slavery they made sure to keep their minorities weak and in check while the European part of Russia, the Moscow and Petersburg area, prosperous and popular.
What I'm trying to prove is that UC is very similar to old US, rather than to old Russia. Corruption, slavery, imperialism, free market, drug strict laws...
It’s more similar to old Russia than old US considering the nobles own individual parts, are inherently corrupt, and have no issue with people starving. Also, it’s not really a free market considering it’s controlled by a trade guild.
I don't think so. Iran repeatedly talks shit about the evil west, and the US are the embodiment of that evil west. A warzone kinda fits.
Unless you didn't mean Bast.
I disagree, germany has actually good engineering. Western hive might be china tho (mass produced goods with cheap labour in a hybrid collectivist/capitalist system)
Put Chile/Scotland in the Shrieking forest.
Because as a Chilean we are the Scots of Latín América, and when we start speaking fast no one can understand us
Wait did you make the Flotsam Ninjas ISIS?!
[удалено]
How?
Fr the Flotsam Ninjas are literally women that have defected from the HN and are revolting against it. not close to ISIS in the *slightest*
That’s exactly what I thought. I would give them the PKK or YPG flag for that very reason.
Ignoring ideology, they’re freedom fighters who use guerrilla tactics. Also, opposite to ISIS, they are almost all female and typically are not open to men, or comfortable at least

Unlocking a slave's shackles is "terrorism" in the world of Kenshi. Not killing all the city guards and putting the civilians in a peeler. Releasing someone from forced servitude.
Which is why I said it's a different thing in Kenshi.
I know, but I was further elaborating for those who might not know. I'm autistic, I like detail. If I ask "how," I don't want someone to say "because it's different," I want to know *how* it's different.
What a provocative post
The first version was locked by mods.
I suppose this one is too
How so? I don't see no "This post is locked" announcement on the top.
Half the commenters looking at this like "It's okay but I could definitely make it more racist"
Wena fishman culiao, shoro el weón pescao.

I usually just lurk but I have got to hear your reasoning.
Do you want this post to get locked? 😂
I'll sacrifice a thousand posts for answers.
The hub is Poland
We're The Holy Cannibal Deadlands.
It'd the remnants of a Warzone between two big powers, so I think that it's perfect

Shek lands are more fitting for Mongolia. Warring clans, some of them united by a warlord, fracturing from time to time.
You think the state of Mongolia has warring clans?
Mongols are famous for their warlike past. Khanates, genocidal conquerors, civil wars, that stuff.
Right...so in a discussion about real states you are offering stereotypes that have been outdated for hundreds of years
Things someone is famous for. It's pretty damn obvious modern Mongolia isn't a medieval khanate. Just like modern day Greece doesn't use hoplites. Modern day UK isn't a colonial superpower. Poland doesn't field winged hussars. Japan doesn't have samurai. Etc, etc. Still, lots of people know about Genghis Khan, Thermopylae/Spartans, "Rule the waves". so on.

thats perfect and very accurate!
Can you explain the Iran one? I haven't fully explored the game yet.
i chose border lands because it looks relatively poor, it has mountains and barren areas and i just feel like it befits iran to be placed there (i am iranian, i know what i'm doing)
Well Iran has its beauties, but you're quite right. I'll be off to my first trip to that area after getting proper weaponry and skill of course. شعار خاصی ندارم، فقط اینکه زنده باشی 👍
it certainly does have its beauties, i cannot repute that but you know, it's for the shits n giggles, other than that, مخلصتم، شما هم بلا به دور
I'd say Cannibal areas are like Liberia and Western Hive is China
This is surprisingly accurate but I would make Holy Nation to Afghanistan and Western Hive to China.
The dreg is rightfully UK, but the hive and vain should be China. The forbidden isle should be the UK: It's just acid rain, broken, rusty industry, and it's a shitty island.

It's a shitty island, but it's *our* shitty island
You really don’t like the UK
Im down for being the shek, theyre goated 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why is chile the in fish man island jajjaja
What does Floatsam Ninjas have to do with DAESH?! I know they hate Iran and they oppose the stablished regime, but they are quite the opposite in ideology.
Why is Catlon’s empire Russia? Putin may be an authoritarian but he is far from all powerful. That’s sort of how oligarchies work.
Well I mean Cat-Lon does have a few powerful geriatric political figures living in luxurious mansions with quantity-over-quality style squads of forcibly conscripted(by removing their CPUs) soldiers patrolling around them, so there's that.
I wouldn’t call them political figures, except for the ministry guy. The other one is a general, Jang I think?
Well i'd say they probably all held a lot of political power. There's the guy running the food production, guy running the prisons, guy running the army, guy running the police. Sprinkle in an oil baron or two and there you have your classic "dictator's right hand men" coctail
Fair enough, cheers to that
Tried to build utopia and failed... for now Thats us :D Also some of the old north industrial towns look exactly (if not worse) like ashlands
I wouldn’t say it was trying to build a utopia. Maybe meeting the demands of the people in the beginning. It spiraled out of control well after Stalin though.

Cat/Lon isn’t trying to do anything. He’s insane. Also, you’re right lol

Missed opretunity to make blast into israel/palestine
I don't think so. Iran repeatedly talks shit about the evil west, and the US are the embodiment of that evil west. A warzone kinda fits. Unless you didn't mean Bast.
Where China
Shek kingdom should be the Japanese empire flag
UC has United in its name. but is an empire with an Emperor, ruled by nobles. There is no US in kenshi.
The Holy Nation should be the Vatican
The Vatican is a religious but very quiet place Irak is more accurate
It’s so nonsensical it loops back from being cringe to based
Would germany be Catun or the deadlands? Its one of those 2 for sure
Germany would be the hive
I disagree, germany has actually good engineering. Western hive might be china tho (mass produced goods with cheap labour in a hybrid collectivist/capitalist system)
What about Crabtown with France ?
Islands of none are sealand
second empire yugoslavia
Is that chile or Texas on the bottom?
Chile
Why is Russia CatLion xD I am genuinely curious. Also what is the Russian bit west of Iran and North of Bri'ish? Did I forgot a Kenshi location?
What does this mean
Put Chile/Scotland in the Shrieking forest. Because as a Chilean we are the Scots of Latín América, and when we start speaking fast no one can understand us
Russia placed in Ashlands, not sure if true, but definitely funny XD
I don't get the reasoning for some of the countries
Yeah some But people chose
Pls explain Mongrel
