So you spend your times fantasizing about things like this? Good for you then ;-)

I also think about ideas for towns, companies, countries, etc. and write stories, plays, pornographic fiction, and mood pieces.

When I younger I created my own country. I drew many detailed maps of it (all sorts, geographic, climatic, population, even resource maps lol), tables of demographics, statistics, history.etc. Though I was the only one who did that. I suppose it was my interest in geography...;-)

What was your country called?

Mine was called Parthia...it was a sort of parallel universe version of the United States (a country I have been fascinated in though I've never been), so in a way a sort of fantasy world. There was nothing magical about it; it was set in another version of planet earth where all the continents were different yet the same (if you get what I mean). I even went so far as to draw up climatic averages for each city! (I was also an avid amatuer meteorologist back then) Some may say I had too much time on my hands - but I geniunely enjoyed it. I created many of my made up cities on Sim City as well...ah I miss those times.

Well, I have broken up the US into different countries and written about the dynamics/demographics and economic structures of them, and written about the neighborhoods.

I've always been quite interested in language; dialects, accents.etc and the socio-geographic factors which influence them. The English language is a case in point. It's interesting to see how different dialect groups evolve both geographically and linguistically over time, the influence of new immigration.etc. Maybe because here in Australia - a country the size of Western Europe - everyone speaks basically the same (well that's not true; speech differences are more a class/age thing than a regional thing). That's one thing about Australia; it's so culturally homogenised; more so than even the US.
