Great Things About Great Nations

Iromakuanhe: Best fluff, best players, best community effort. I wish all factions could be up to the bar that the Iroma set.

So true, Revolver. I commend you for bringing the Iromakuanhe into the spotlight. I encourage @Perilous Siege and @Dumont to add the reasons why they enjoy this faction, as well.

I love reading Bahram Wing and have also read some really good 18+ stuff...

It's hard to choose a favorite aspect of their culture/ tech/ flora/ fauna/ etc... That being said, this excerpt from Iromakuanhe culture speaks to me on a personal level:

However, some people have largely abandonned their lives in the real world and remained in continuous exposure to the networked world. Cyber-Depression or 'Pod Sickness' is the illness of people who have the means to remain in constant immersion in the network and do so continuously. Although the many more modern Iromakuanhe see it as not being something unusual, traditional living people see it as a distortion of the ways people should live and the medical consequences of remaining in continuous exposure to Prajna can include muscular, systemic and neurological atrophy. On these people, the opinion is split as to whether they should be excised from online access or allowed to remain. Some among them see themselves as the next step in NI development, a true merging of the synthetic and natural intelligence archetypes as they become increasingly attached to their machines.

Yamatai also holds a special place in my heart, as it does for most of us.
