Who do you think they are?/ Who are they?
Myself, I'm imagining Verduria and Kebri because of the colonization and economic strength, as well as their somewhat equivalence and battling.
I also imagine Dhekhnam being a great power in the same sort of sense as a Russia, with men upon men and the land area, even if rather backwards.
After that I'm not sure if there's anything other than a sort of 'Big Three'. Uytai, Belesao and Xurno might belong on the list, but they all seem too inward focused, somewhat unable to compete with the eretald countries, and (in Uytai's case), too internally tumultuous.
Perhaps Erenat belongs on the list, having a strong economy and being on the forefront on science and technology. (But Erenat is my favorite, so my opinion there means a bit less)

Xurno is something like 19th-century Italy - a second-rank power in terms of economic and military prowess, but most sophisticated in the fine arts, and proud of that.

I don't know. Xurno has an enormous base of people in comparison to Italy. I mean look at the cities map and you'll notice that one half of Erelae's biggest cities are in Xurno. That's an enormous base to grow on, coupled with the fact that Xurno isn't far behind the other powers in terms of anything but industrialization and science. It appears to have an enormous literate base and good education, so I think that once it gets moving it will probably stay strong.WeepingElf wrote:Xurno is something like 19th-century Italy - a second-rank power in terms of economic and military prowess, but most sophisticated in the fine arts, and proud of that.

Xurno is more like China in the C16th - a large populous nation that while being "modern" in many impressive ways is also facing threatening competition from smaller, more nimbler and intellectually liberated powers.
But we shouldn't draw these things too far.
