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.

Can someone tell me what is equivalent of MINMATAR race in our real world? They reminds me really a slavic culture like Czechs, Poles, Russians through second great war. But im still not quite sure.

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.

Spademan Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 5915	Posted - 2015.02.22 22:24:00 - [7] - Quote True has it pretty good from my perspective, though I'd go out on a limb and say the Amarr would have some Persian influences in addition to the Greek/Byzantine. What're you looking at me like that for? I'll shank you I will.
postapo wastelander Corrosive Synergy RISE of LEGION 928	Posted - 2015.02.22 22:27:00 - [8] - Quote BTW minmatars described like africans, i dont know i fell them more like slavic/germanic tribes, that was actually reason why i chosed in OP central europe countries. I do not see african tribes like tinkers (what more in slavic and gaelic culture for sure) "Sebiestor Tinker/Hetzer" "Corrosive Supporter/Synergist" "We build from Rust"

From the other side, tribal tattoo have its taboos without maories. This is same with tribes in africa as well. And this will be same story if some guy will have tattoo of my unit as well. Like honestly if someone unknown to us will have our tattoo he will have big problem with me and others XD "Sebiestor Tinker/Hetzer" "Corrosive Supporter/Synergist" "We build from Rust"

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.

One Eyed King Nos Nothi 7973	Posted - 2015.02.22 22:45:00 - [15] - Quote I would almost suggest Minmatar are similar to Incans (minus the religion, though IDK if Minmatar have a religion or anything, I assume not). Supposedly they are great engineers, and places like Machu Pichu are still engineering marvels, then when the Spanish came in, they got enslaved. I have only an elementary understanding of EVE lore though, so keep that in mind. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

They are most atheist country. They are great with basicaly everything like tinkers. And they are pretty much no nonsence.

There was like 9 main minmatar tribes though and a huge amount of smaller ones. Each had their own cultural influences. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
Nirwanda Vaughns 1450	Posted - 2015.02.22 22:52:00 - [18] - Quote Minmatar are Tribal and formr slaves and in EVE they're the only ones with African/Black facial models, But majority if not all their ships are named on Norse mythology (missile is named Mjolnir and their titan is Ragnarok for example) so i'd go with a cross between African/Norse in our world, there are several different tribes though each with their own personality so its kinda hard to narrow down, Brutor are pure damage/firepower whereas Thukker tribe rely on speed Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner
