History Roleplay / Mystria

* {{Cool Guns}}: NASC's [=AR4MIW=] which is a rehashing of the OICW concept. Also, Imeriata's sexy sexy wood furnished, precious metal plated, battle rifles.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Inevitable given the text-based nature of Website/NationStates.
** Dyste is pronounced 'Diest', not 'Deest'. Likewise, the 'Ty-' sound used in many of the royal family names is pronounced 'Tie', not 'Tee'. Tyroth's son Mahks is 'Mah-cuss' (like Marcus without the 'r' sound), not 'Max', and 'J' in Draconid names is usually a 'Y' sound (Jangah is pronounced 'Yahn-gah')

* {{I Love Nuclear Power}}: Just about everything in NASC is powered by "Warm" Fusion Technology including tanks.

* TheLostWoods: Lup Vulsenzia & Lup Sentania in Sfesque.

* {{Nice Hat}}: What part of Imerian Tricornes did you not get?

* OurElvesAreBetter: Has all of the major types and a few more rare variations. Menelmacar probably plays this the straightest.

** Gold is extremely common in Dyste making it pointless as a currency, with silver instead being used for coins. Gold is still used for casino tokens, and parts of the city of of Auram are paved with gold, hence the title 'City of Gold'.
* {{Yanks with Tanks}}: The North AMERICAN Socialist Commonwealth.

Mystria is a region and roleplaying group for the online game {{NationStates}}. Founded in 2010 from a roleplay that began in Forum Seven before the advent of the portal to the multiverse, this region focuses on high levels of Roleplay in a fantasy steampunk setting. It accepts techmixing, and is home to over 50 nations, with a core of 10 or so consistently active nations, mainly based around the region's primary continent in the Heartlands and the Frigid North. The nature of the Mystrian region is often deeply political with all manner of diplomatic shenanigans occurring, as well as the occasional war to spruce things up. The Mystrian population does NOT however get caught up in that insipid Raider/Defender game that sillier Nationstates players do, and the Empress Overlord Crystal Spires is guarded with the password, and demands high quality roleplay, meaning it can take weeks to months to be accepted fully into the region. Mystria RP also includes several nations not physically in the region; Menelmacar, C'tan, Allanea, Aravea, and several nations from The Pony Lands are examples.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Inevitable given the text-based nature of NationStates.

* {{Swedes with Cool Planes}}: While not techically Sweden, Imeriata has a strong Swedish cultural bent, and resembles a resurgent Swedish Empire with Modern Technology and a Steampunk aesthetic.

* PeaceThroughSuperiorFirepower: NASC would like to believe it has this, but in actuality, probably does not without resorting to nuking everything.
** Menelmacar and C'tan, on the other hand...

* {{Church Militant}}: Many organizations qualify, the Knights of Serion being the most famous. The Spirean Grand Order of Idealists also qualifies, as does the Cathar Order in Sfesque, which secretly makes widespread, exclusive use of a form of magic AppliedPhlebotinum.

* {{Crystal Spires and Togas}}: Played straight in Menelmacar, where robes are the favored attire. Meanwhile Crystal Spires puts this right in the name of the country.

* PeaceThroughSuperiorFirepower: NASC would like to believe it has this, but in actuality probably does not, especially in the conventional sector.

* DraconicHumanoid: Dyste, an island nation in the southwest of the region, is mainly populated by Draconids, a race with the general appearance and traits of dragons (SuperStrength, long lifespans, strong magical ability, even a BreathWeapon), though bipedal and about twice the size of an average human. They come in eight variations, each with an different elemental power.

* SaintlyChurch: Dragostism in Sfesque, complete with its own FantasyPantheon. A shame most of the time GodsHandsAreTied. Strong belief in Karma as well. Dyste's Order of Bahamut also qualifies, founded on the beliefs of the draconic deity. Crystal Spires's Forntian Idealism has elements of it, with the majority of priests being of the GoodShepherd variety.

** Reversed in many pony nations such as the Greater Pony Herd, where magic is used as and incorporated into technology, resulting in {{Magitek}}.

* {{Fantastic Racism}}: AND HOW. There are Human Supremacists, Treefolk Supremacists, Elven Supremacists, dwarven supremacists, unbidden supremacists. Basically if a race exists there is a supremacy movement for it (except probably Beastlings 'cuz those guys are cool, but they have an antiquated caste system in which they discriminate against one another). And almost everybody who isn't Unbidden hates the Unbidden.

* {{Church Militant}}: Many organizations qualify, the Knights of Serion being the most famous. The Spirean Grand Order of Idealists also qualifies.

* SpockSpeak: Draconids from Dyste speak in a similar manner; they never use contractions, usually speak at least somewhat formally, and have trouble understand slang. However, they do have a sense of humor and can tell jokes, which can surprise people who assume their manner of speech means they are TheStoic.
