And what's the capital's name? Macho Grande?

I just can't get over Macho Grande.

Those wounds run.... pretty deep.

I'm gradually working on the fictional country of Wheristan, situated somewhere on the NW Frontier of Imperial India for a Pulp/BoB setting. It of course shares a common boundary with Bezerkistan but the boundaries are somewhat elastic since it also seems to have a common border with Tibet. In reality it must be somewhere North of Kashmir.

Yay! 

At least you didn't call me Shirley.......

How about "Zangaro" from the film "Dogs of War"?

Forsyth does give a very good background to the country in 'Dogs of War', so it is pretty much ready to wear.

I created Morvalistan for colonial and some pulpish games - The central character is the redoubtable Binky!

Then there is Morvalonesia for most Pulp games set "out east".  Here flies Biggles and many others.

The original inspiration came from the fantasy world of Morval Earth created by the veteran wargamer John (Slim) Mumford - a long term opponent of mine - nearly 40 years in fact!

[Emir of Askaristan]

Askaristan is a completely non fictional country in central asia, in the area where Afghanistan, Tadjikstan, China and Pakistan all meet. Of course nowadays its called something else. Incorporated into the Russian Empire in the late 19th C it was the scene of fighting between Reds, Whites, British, Turks, Chinese and local tribes from 1917 to 1920.

It was also the scene of some hard fighting in the late 70's between various factions and revolutionary groups.

Details of both these periods can be found on the Aberdeen wargames club site - www.aberdeenwargamesclub.co.uk!!
