If you had to choose a country that the 4 races (Caldari/Amarr/Minmatar/Gallente) decended from, which would they be and why?
My views
Caldari = Russia. Dunno why, but when i think of missiles i think of Russia.
Minmatar = Africa. The most primitive of races and thier ships seem to be made of sticks and clay.
Gallente = No idea really, Maybe Japan? Robots(drones) and lots of high tech stuff, and what other country could make a Fugly bubblecar (Dominix)
Amarr. I'd say the old Roman empire. Very spirtulisic, uses slaves and control the most territory of the 3 other races.
Of course these are just my views, I'd be intrested to see what other people think.
If this needs to be in off-topic than could a mod please move it? It is eve related though so i posted it here.

Gallente= French, really is in the storyline i believe. Minmatar=..err...terrorists? Seriously though, scandic nation could fit the description.

Amarr are decended from the Roman Catholic Church afaik, Gallente are French, Minmatar and Caldari aren't really explained anywhere.
Caldari is probably US, and Minmatar is probably the stereotypical black OMGZREBEL race, so choose a country where this happened. ------

I sometimes think "Amarr" is a dig on "Americans" with the description of "True Amarrians" and so forth. ;)
Gallente descended from French settlers of Tau Ceti. The Jin-Mei, one assumes, would be of Chinese descent, and the Intaki, not sure.

I've seen reference to the Caldari language as being a fusion of Japanese and Icelandic. I think that culturally the Caldari are kind of a Japan/US fusion.

Caldari - represented the asian community, there was some reason why they couldnt get the avs working or something.
Amarr - Western society, your US, GB etc. God fearing nations.
Gallente - Majority French origin, so more european, more liberal views etc
Minmatar - quite clearly the african continents.

Minmatar, southeast asia, africa and possibly south america, a mix of those not favoured by the other entitys spaceprograms pooling their resources and remaining in the backwater ever since.
Amarr, americans, so overbearingly it's dumbfounding anyone actually miss it.
Caldari, eastern european, including Russia, and japanese conglomerate.
Gallente, western european, spearheaded by the french.

Caldari - America, Japan, Britain combined with good economic sense, the Japanese names, and a love of high technology over brute force or numbers. Gallente - France and potentially mainland Europe, as their race description even says so. Minmatar - Africa and the Middle East, physically strong and well-trained but lacking in technology; tribal roots also help this case. Amarr - Spain and Latin America, as they are a extremist Catholic sect gone haywire, maybe Italian as well.
Jove......who knows? Probably some American or European group of elites that tried to genetically manipulate themselves early on.

If you pay attention some of teh ammar rules match to Christianic religion ones. So could be any Western or Muslim people.
Minmatar could very well be with their clan structure, something derived from south american natives or africa.
Gallente are french.
Caldari are US or UK.
Jovians are probably crazy russiaans that ran out of vodka aftre the gate collapsed and with nothing else to do started with genetics.

Last I checked Caldari space was filled with solarsystem names that looked FAR more Oriental (Japanese in particular) rather than American...
Gallente are french... so were told...
From there it gets a little hazy. I mean, whos to say there not a mix of the current nationalities?
Amarr could be anyone (if you read the backstory, they simply got out of the dark ages and re-invented space flight first, and happened to be religious... hardly narrows it down).
Matari's could also be anyone... They were just the first bunch of people to get beaten up and enslaved. I mean, how the hell would 3rd world countries get people into space, and through the wormhole into a new galaxys anyway?
Comparing a race thousands of years in the future, based on the current position of the world powers? Even for a laugh thats stupid...

caldari are americans and gallente are french
that i know for sure
id have to say minmatar is a mix of african / middle east and
amarr would be peoples ranging from the light skinned middle eastern to the slavic descendants of eastern europe
you cant really take what they use or their ways as to tell what they are - but gallente directly states that they are of french origin and they eat all those strange delicacies hehe
caldari - capitalism what more is there to say ?
minmatar are warrior peoples and like to keep to themselves so...
amarr are religious - you could say this is the only faction that really doesnt come from a specific peoples its just the zealous knights - but look at how their faces are shaped and thats where i got my explanation from
