I didn’t really think it through when making this thread but it seems that the majority of nations end with “ia” which would naturally lend itself to a versions of “ians” but there could be scope for another type.
QUOTE(Yobnedor @ Jan 27 2023, 11:32 PM) I guess Yobnedoricans? How about Yobmans (like Germans)? Beaverdonia are a very Beavish nation (if that’s such a thing). |

It's Séyetan, which I've seen other people using
 partly because of a desire to not have the redundant Séyetanan or the awkward and basic Séyetanians (either is the case with most countries ending in 'na' - though, consider, Séyetanese!)but partly because I like it this way, demonyms don't always need to be suffixes (I think I also considered Séyet at one point), it gives off a bit more of a fictional, slightly wild vibe |

It's Dobagan.
Not Dobagonian which has been incorrectly assumed in the past! (Because of Tobagonian no doubt). |
