As I said on the: I need to fill my world thread I'm going to make a world that incorporates the ideas on the I need to fill my world thread that just didn't quite work. And my own ideas that I bring to all of the worlds I alone make.
Jalameray: the first country I ever created! I created it in 2008 and I don't know when Golarion was created but trust me, I only learned about Golarion in 2011 so I did NOT copy this name off the Vudran State Jalmeray. The Empire of Jalameray is a vast expanse encompassing the Trimind Jungle and the Neuric Desert. It was created using 3.5 rules and is a hub for Psionics. The great city of Nabaschonir is built above an ancient Illithid (probably aboleth now)artifact that gives great mental talent to many of Nabaschonir's citizens.
Shaplian: this great empire is home to the legendary Dragon Emperor. (but now dragon rulers for eastern fantasy settings are becoming very cliche, any better ideas are certainly welcome) The great palace of this god-king is called The Serpentine Halls which are dwarf made of serpentine that rises up from the surrounding jungle in magnificent glory as sun dances across its roof in mesmerizing patterns. Shaplian has a caste system similar to that of feudal Japan. Emperor > Samurai > Craftsmen > Merchants > Labour > Slaves > Rebels
Macklut: A country comprised of undead. They constantly seek to create more spawn and thereby expand their population, they are ruled by the Council of Graves: a council comprised of the most powerful and influential of each kind of intelligent undead, and they use The Silence League: a powerful undead intelligence agency created by the council to look for and destroy any signs of dissent or rebellion, spy on other nations, and assassinate any key members of any other opposition.
Drakus: this tyrannical kingdom believes in work, the serfs here are worked to death and their numerous slaves even harder, the corpulent nobles relax and do nothing other than give out harsh orders. But if the ends justify the means then Drakus is one of the best nations ever
Zircal: The Land of Magic, Zircal is almost always neutral in all affairs, in the capital crystal spires and stone towers as well as iron fortresses and golden temples are in abundance graduate mages and priests walk out of such buildings every day for these are a collection of the greatest magic universities the world has ever seen
Cerannor: the steppes of the east are home to the horse lords of Cerannor. These men are the best horse breeders the world has ever and very likely will ever see, their horses are obedient, tough, strong, swift and have a very smooth and steady gait, their riders are even more widely feared than their horses are famous for when they raid, their are few remains and no survivors
I'll be sure to give more examples as I find them on I need to fill my world or this thread

Nerkraias: An undead speculative kind of almost utopian theocracy. The Undead view the living as their "children" the living for their part treat the undead as deities, the living seek to please and impress their undead lords while they are still alive so that in death they will be reincarnated as a better kind of undead, for example a devout man might become something like a grave knight or vampire or other powerful undead, while a rebel or a traitor will become a mindless skeleton or zombie
