...then what would your country look like if it was made into a Fantasy RPG Setting?

Golarian already made an idealized fantasy America: it's called Andora.  It's got elections, free mercantilism (I assume it's the D&D capitalist stand-in), and is staunchly abolitionist.

I don't know if it's got freedom of religion or some equivalent; that's a very important American ideal.  Trying to implement that in standard D&D would be pretty difficult, what with evil Clerics summoning Demons and all that jazz.

Is FR fantasy Canada?

Mine would look like Bioshock Infinite.  Skymerica, with psychic powers.  Not merely the best country on Earth, ever, but literally too good to actually be physically located on Earth.  

Pardon me gentlemen whilst I unhook my dramamine drip to step outside and enjoy my freedumbs that you degenerate Earthbound King-havers are routinely denied.

Andoran could be taken to be fantasy France and I think that it was meant to be.  Galt in Golarion is certainly fantasy France though.  One is where the Terror never happened, and the other is where it never ended.

They already did Las Vegas in AD&D.  It was called Dark Sun.

A dry desert continent, with a few city states surrounded by farmland huddled along the coast and trading routes that go on endlessly through desert and scrub.

Their are rumours in the cities that somewhere in the desert there is an inland sea, and a glittering civilizations lies upon its shore, but those who live further in know that that was long ago, and the sea is now a salt plain, except for once or twice a century when the rains fall and the sea is filled.

Also it's filled with strange and exotic creatures.

I believe the Mad Max movies would be my favourite way to represent Australia for an rpg.

At the moment, Downton Abbey. :rolleyes:

Well, Florida was Dinosaur Swamp in Rifts(tm).

Well, there used to be a Portuguese language fantasy role-playing game set in a fantasy version of C17 colonial Brazil, with magic and monsters cribbed out of Brazilian folklore (itself a mishmash of native, African and European folklore). The setting also played up myths and folklore to make room for things like legendary tribes of giants and lost cities. Players were supposed to be bandeirantes, historical adventurer types who explored the wilds of colonial Brazil seeking their fortune; some were looking for emeralds or gold or other natural resources, others traded with the natives, and a few were slavers and bandits.

Brazil is freaking huge. You have jungles and savannahs and wetlands and mountains and big cities and small cities and just about everything. If you're only using the physical terrain as a foundation for a setting, you can end up with a pretty extensive and diverse milieu.

The Froglands.

I dunno, but you'd definitely have a Social Status stat in fantasy fuckin' England.

My current campaign (in sig) is already a fantasy United States.
