It's a lot more complicated than that, there's a few different bloodlines & influences to each race.

Caldari = America, Japan, Russia. Though the caldari deny that the deties and civre are separate bloodlines they try very hard to prevent miscegenation between the two, the other race among the caldari is the achurans which are the primary Asian influence.

Amarr = An imperial hodgepodge, there are a lot of Mediterranean / middle eastern influences here. I believe their 'asian' bloodline is the Ni-Kunni

Gallente = A fairly large hodgepodge themselves, they draw a lot of influences from the French, other European nations and Koreans. A lot of minmatar live in the gallente federation, some of the more hardline minmatar are deeply resentful of the cultural annexation that the gallente are performing on them.

Minmatar = "Nordic" Nations like Iceland + tribal cultures like Africans and Polynesians. These are a lot of 'small' tribal cultures, It is worth noting that almost every minmatar is tattooed like a Maori, you can learn almost everything about an individual minmatar by 'reading' their tattoos from their names, their professions, their deeds, failed oaths etc.

Oki get it, thx I wouldn't necessarily say the Amarr are Russia. I see them more as a Byzantine Empire out of Constantinople. Gallente are somewhat reminiscent of an early democratic France. Caldari are an odd mix of modern US, industrialised Japan, and a more central-east rural Europe. Minmatar I've heard described as African .... but there's so much more to them than that. They have a little bit of everything...but I kind of like to think of them as Celtic/Gauls tribals. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven.

Actually yeah you have some really good parallels to the Minmatar in traditional Maori culture. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven.
