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.

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 biggrin.gif 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

Was it deliberately “cabbage” backwards or just a genuine coincidence?! I feel like either is just as likely!

It's Dobagan.

Not Dobagonian which has been incorrectly assumed in the past! (Because of Tobagonian no doubt).
