Amarr = Russian (watch)
Edit: Oh I think I got it wrong Smile

I like to think of Amarrians are Russian too but that trailer is more about alliances attacking each other in null sec, not factional wars.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Amarr - Arab/Middle Eastern. Saw once in lore suggest the orignal Amarr was settled by Catholics. Muslims are the only fanatical religion left and has little problem with enslaving infidels (and to those suggesting Southerners, we inherited our slavery from Protestans, not Catholics)

Minmater - US Ebonics (Ghetto/Trailer trash), tribalism relative to gangs and milita types

Gallente - French or Old American...kinda hard as Gallente are billed as Libertarian and Progressive, which are actually opposing ideologies. But I do believe lore suggests the Original Gallente colony was founded by a Frenchmen.

Caldari - English speaking, with Euorpean, American, and even Asian accents varied by different regions of Caldari.

edit: The main problem I see with assigning "accents" is their is very little in lore that suggest whole countries or continets settled any particular place. It's more based on ideology. ideology that can be found in all nationalities. Their are capalists in every country, their are religious fanatcis of all demoniations in every country, their are Libertarians, Progressives, Socialists, Communists and Fascist in every country. Besides, after 20,000 years language as we know it won't be what it is now. Just look how much it's changed just in the last couple generations.

That's because the Sebestior are the smart ones who made the maps. They're clearly Nordic. The Vherokhior are clearly Chinese/Australian Aboriginal cross :)

PS: Yes, I changed my mind from Central European to Scandanavian. Why wouldn't the Icelanders imagine the future vikings being simply awesome: strike with speed and strength, who cares about style :)

Amarr - dont know maybe british
Similarities in between the amarr being the first big empire and the british collonization. Also anglicanism as the equivalent of the amarr religiousness.

Caldari - american
Because of the industrial and militaristic similarities and the corporations high influence on the government. Twisted

Minmatar- south african
multi-ethnic nation, diverse cultures and languages

Gallente - french
Because of lore. "The Gallente Federation is an amalgamation of several different populations, although the Gallente, of French descent, are the most numerous."

Blood raider - arabic
Sansha - russian
Angel - german
Guristas - spanish
Serpentis- pass
drone - bushmen :)

Jovian - japanese Cool
