4chan is now a fantasy world/universe. Describe each board as though it were a region, nation, city-state, elemental plane, or what-have-you that resides within this realm or broader cosmology.
What is the most striking signature feature of this place?
What are the inhabitants like? How do they define their society and what informs their culture, religion, laws and worldviews?
How do the denizens of these places relate to one another when they travel between?
What is the political landscape among them? Are some close allies, trading partners, sworn enemies and why?
What does each place produce and what are their main imports and exports?
What is each society's ultimate goal?
Be as fanciful as you like.

/tg/ itself is divided amongst the puritanical regime that bans all premarital sex, and the thri-kreen-loving denegerates who semi-openly trade with the kingdom of /d/, whose people are of ill and depraved repute, yet are surprisingly friendly and welcoming in manner.
Lawkeeping is an important part of /tg/'s culture, and debates are constant. Several small civil wars have been waged by members of opposing Editions of the law, though generally the most convoluted and obscure rulings remain the most popular by way of tradition.
/tg/ is filled with lewd dragons
>>44560149
/v/ would be a nation in the aftermath of revolution, splintered amongst its vassal states /vr/, /vg/, and /vp/.
>>44560149
/tg/ - Wizards.
/pol/ - Fantasy Nazis.
/a/ - Exalted's Fair Folk.

4chan is an anarchist's wetdream. There is no centralised authority. Users congregate in small groups, but these tribes are transient and users often flit between groups by the day. From time to time great raids will be formed as users in the /v/ or /b/ badlands congregate under the banner of a mighty OP. They will storm into the verdant kingdoms of Reddit or the city-states of Tumblr, before retreating to their desert homes. The religion of 4chan is personal and shamanistic; self-proclaimed seers known as "namefags" rail on about their own twisted visions of the Great Banning. For the religion is Gnostic in nature; though there is a complex pantheon, with the Dead God Moot at the top and his servants (known as Janitors) and the New God Hiroshima, these deities are seen as cruel and retarded beings. Ritualistic sacrifices of hot pockets are made in order to appease them, lest the unwary user get banned for his sins.
As for geography, the lands of 4chan are vast and flat steppes. Periodic storms of dust will wreak ruin across the landscape as the servers break and all activity stops.
Individual boards are merely different regions of this great desert. Users move between them frequently, although it is not uncommon for users to remain on one board for their whole life.
>>44560294
>no centralised authority
Except for the Mods. Unseen agents, they can be literally anyone, and if you go against the system you're taken out back and head stoved in with a hammer. Hopefully you meet one of the janitors instead, who will simply have the state repossess everything.
In theory they're lead by the Admins, but they are but legend. They had the power to demand the oceans to lower and land to rise to make new lands, or sink those that displeased them.
>>44560294
>Day 27
I left the fields of /e/ this morning to find myself wandering in what I believe to be /h/ territory. I shall press onward in my search for new thrills and titillating expiriences.
>Day 35
/h/ has grown boring. Some whisper of a land further in the steppes called /d/. I leave at dawn.
It's the elemental plane of shit from /a/ to /x/
It is a chaotic world of faceless folk. Everyone wears masks to hide their identities, and it is taboo to identify oneself from among the rest of the population. Though it is forgivable to identify yourself among the masses in a few circumstances (leaders, artists, writers, faggots) the simple act of altering ones appearance and displaying a name is an unforgivable offense.
For the most part, there is no physical violence at all, but there is a constant war of ideas. Although some individuals stick to mostly one or two boards, others frequently travel between the realms. Many of these travellers spread toxic and addictive ideas harvested from the most fetid parts of this world. Rather than participate in actual discourse about topic they enjoy, they actively try to sabotage discussions.
In this world, the currency is made from ideas and intelligent conversation, but unfortunately the shitposters are flooding the world with cancer, which is fucking up both the economy but the fabric of the universe.
>>44560342
/d/ is basically the Warp, isn't it.
>>44560294
There is within this desert a region known as /tg/. It lies between the foothills of /tv/, the dry gorges of /co/, the crackling wastelands of /v/ and the hallucinatory gardens of /d/.
It is small enough, and the users who wander its parched grasslands want not for space. But their unusual geographic location has lead to a strange social phenomenon. Ideas and people from all over 4chan have visited /tg/ at some point, whether on their way to another board or there for the stay. The users of /tg/ are thus a motley lot, known for their obsession with concepts far removed from their nominal place in the world as lain down by the Dead God Moot. A group may talk of Star Wars with the denizens of /tv/ and /sci/, or they may pore over dusted maps of Tamriel and Lordran with froth-mouthed berserkers from /v/.
>>44560384
I heard there was no currency at all. Instead, people barter for goods. They promise to draw unusual sex acts, or they argue until sundown and one of them concedes, uttering the sacred refrain "fuck you faggot fuck you fuck you".
>>44560149
/tg/ underestimates the /int/ cultural values and thus engages in economic disputes between haves and have nots, /x/ and /sci/ comprise the interests of older worlds devoted to internal rivalries, /b/ would stay a brothel without understanding expenses involved with human consumption, /fit/ would be where children are raised to wage war on users unused to senior posters, /adv/ is satire and leaves the needy in desperation.
>>44560543
>/fit/ would be where children are raised to wage war on users unused to senior posters
They do this in the name of their god Zyzz, he who was slain but will return again to lead all fitizens towards the gains of paradise.
>>44560149
/tg/ a medial world in the 40k universe, with elves, orks, humans, dwarfs, gnomes, gnolls, dragons and everything that belongs in a proper fantasy setting, as well as one Empire of man that holds the eastern continent, hates anything not human, and is generally anti magic.
All of this is overshadoed by the great crusade looming towards the planet.
>>44560410
/d/ is the first slaaneshi cult im existance, even older than the Eldar.
>>44560789
When /pol/ begins the purge that will be where they start.
/b/ is a tribe of ADD-riddled spastics. Whenever the mood strikes them and the stars are aligned or whatever, they leave their homes in the tundra to 'raid' other regions. This usually involves shouting non-sequiturs and flinging shit at anything and anyone, bringing a very real meaning to the phrase 'shitting up the place'.
>>44560861
/pol/ will never begin the purge.
>>44560884
ADHD.
>>44560149
I imagine /tg/ is broken up into dozens of tribes which all share a land. Don't always get along but somehow also do. Also welcoming of outsiders.
/k/ is a chaotic, hegemony state. An empire of force by arms divided on many subjects, mostly how to equip and train its citizens.
/co/ is an out-of-place modern city.
/toy/ is filled with gnomes.
>>44560149
In /vp/ they train monsters.
Some to fight, some for fun, some for lewd, some for memes.
These groups often fight, causing chaos. Terrorist acts have always been commonplace, Garybombing, slugposting, or animespamming, it all happens too often. Many artists come and go, drawing, writing, and playing, but it has all been waning in this long drought, thirst barely quenched by SPMD. A proper maingame must come soon, or the lands will completely fall apart. We pray to the Great Gods of Game Freak, and of Nintendo.
The realm of /a/ is a theocracy, with each High Priest possessing an avatar he summons to aid him in combat and decision making, referred to as a "waifu". Despite being one of the most powerful realms of the 4chan world, the /a/ Theocracy is often divided as High Priests call eachothers waifus "a shit".
/b/ is pure chaos, a realm of monsters and hostile tribes that are entirely unpredictable. They're literally just as likely to give you a bag of gold as they are to punch your teeth out and shove them up your urinal tract.
The /d/ Confederation is a strange realmwhere creatures beyond human comprehension live. For some reason not entirely understood by even the inhabitants of the /d/ Confederation, there's also a shelter for lost puppies in its capital.
The /k/ingdom of /k/ is a highly militant one, where all those with citizen rights are expected to be proficient in combat and warfare. As such, coups are frequent, even expected.
The /pol/is is a highly xenophobic, totalitarian dictatorship. The highest form of punishment brought down on dissidents is being "cucked" by their Tyrant.
The Consulate of /int/ is highly similar to /pol/, except with more powerful factions that often infight for no reason at all.
The /tg/ technocracy is led by a council of knowledgeable men, who often engage in lengthy discussions on the affairs of state, including but not limited to
>Is it rape if it's an elf?
>Kidnapped by Amazons, what do?
>Should we allow lamia's from /d/ to migrate to our lands?
>Jewish Theology, how does it work?
>>44561020
don't forget that /k/ worship the almighty /k/ube
I once got really high and started planning out an RPG (computer game) based on this concept... the boards of 4chan were basically a bunch of feudal states similar to 17th century europe, constantly shifting alliances and getting into small petty wars. /pol/ was the french empire stand-in (constantly getting into shit with other nations), fractured german states were like /int/, /r9k/ was isolationist pseudo-british isles with strange sexual practices, /s/ was basically a brothel city-state, /fit/ was more or less a southern coastal Sparta, places like /fa/ and /mu/ were decadent city-states with lots of trade, /v/ was basically post-roman italy, fractured into multiple regions but powerful enough to influence the other boards. /sci/ was a psuedo-holland, technologically advanced but too stingy to become powerful, /tv/ was a heathen zone in the southern deserts where idol worship takes place and strange religious cults arise every once and a while
/b/ were the only group outside the "civilized" map, a sort of mix of Uralics and Mongols, whose scattered primitive tribes in the east were occasionally organized enough by a general to make a short-lived but destructive raid on the rest of the nations
>>44560149
> /mlp/ is the magical relam
>>44560149
/mlp/ is basically Mongolia, but with horsefucking. Well, more horsefucking.
Most people live in large tribes, led by might Generals, that are often feuding with each other. There is a strong culture for storytelling among these tribes, a seemingly endless amount of stories about their shared mythological figures, though their stories are often considerer by outsiders to be sort of shit.
Outside of the established tribes, numerous small bands of strangers form and dissolve at a rapid rate. It's a culture full of strife.Or at least it was until EQGfags ruined everything.
>>44560926
/k/ is postapocalyptic Prussia. An army that happens to have a nation rather than a nation with an army.
>>44560861
/pol/ is too addicted to cock to do anything against /d/.
>>44561186
Well it is a magical place.
>>44560149
/b/ is like fantasy Australia, a island which needs to tranverse the eternal ocean of piss to reach it.
>>44560149
So would /b/ the always Chaotic Evil race that serve as setting standard baddies?
>>44560294
So... We're all Mongols? /b/ and /v/ have the Khan, though?
>>44562148
No, that's /mlp/.
>>44562148
We are all Tartars and Mongols, yes. We all have Khans who rise and fall, although most of them are on /v/ and /b/. OPs are in their own impermanent way khans for smaller tribes.
>>44562180
They're just Mongols with a very unhealthy interest in their mounts.
/r9k/ is a nation of constructs/warforged. Most of what they do is sit alone in their own places as they don't have the need or desire to do anything else. Occasionally they come together and discuss stuff, and the only thing they can agree on is that they hate living beings. Very rarely one of them gets motivated enough to leave the desolated land of /r9k/ and go on a murder rampage on one of the nations of living beings until they get killed themselves. They are considered heroes in /r9k/.
>>44561977
I'll argue chaotic neutral. They are neither good or evil.
>>44562292
Nah, they go for whatever they think will shock people/give them e-peen cred. They're just chaotic edgy.
Wait, yeah, that's chaotic neutral.
>>44562232
I like it.
>>44562292
>>44562314
K but are they the go-to orc-styled baddies?
>>44562361
No. No one is.
>>44562376
THIS SETTING IS UNTENABLE
>>44562376
I think /pol/ is the catch-all villain that most boards can rally against, in terms of wanting them to stop shitting up threads.
>>44560149
/vr/ A place where maximum meganerds get triple-blasted by the fury of time and have their adulthood confiscated
>>44562475
/pol/ is a region to which many would-be seers flock. They gather around tall fires in the night and talk of End Times. They rant to the heavens of all the evils in the world, and concoct vast theorems to explain their own predicaments. And out from these rambling lands they ride, to tell the whole world of their epiphany!
It's a shame that no one else wants to hear the incoherent mumbling of an alcoholic witch-doctor high on mushrooms.
/f/ is like a big slow moving river, every once in a while a small stream gives the river some new fresh water, but it is mostly the same muddy water as far the eye can see
>>44560997
blah
>>44560997
What are the pokemon made for meme? Appart from Magikarp?
/mu/ is a community for bards to sing of their travels, criticize others' songs, and worship lady bards from the southern Korean region.
/m/ is a nation of cults that rise up among colossi that appear from nowhere, then wage war amongst each other about who the worst of them are while never praising or worshipping them, themselves. The ones who do praise and worship them must travel to foreign lands in order to do so, usually /a/.
>>44561324
Strangely, as the ture mongols, the legends of their past bad deeds is still strong in the minds of the others states. Their friendship powered-horses (which let them win the last interboard polo tournament) let them wander through many boards even if they the better stay hidden. Their pluri-cultural interest let them blend easily into others cultures as long as they hold their horses.
Despite the hate, many still buy their horses-derivated products.
Once near the /b/ no-man's land and /co/'s city, strong barriers have since been made.
It's people is eager to please and to welcome newcomers. But internal fights are frequents about their cultural idols, as the majority feed itself on unnecessary drama from the others.
How about having /mlp/ as some sort of foreign nation/culture that has carved out a part of the coast line after eventually losing a great war with the other tribes.
Their inhabitants have to disguise themselves when travelling to other realms because of the strict sentence of death for all people of this nation caught outside their own territory.
They are kind of like the Dragon Age's Qunari of the land/continent.
You could also draw parallels with Orgoth from Warmachine if you prefer to see them more as a dying board.
>>44560149
>/k/
>What is the most striking signature feature of this place?
a huge black /k/ube made up of all kinds of weapons, from spears to crossbows and AR-15s
>What are the inhabitants like? How do they define their society and what informs their culture, religion, laws and worldviews?
Strictly individual with a strong resentment towards authority (but only if that authority is out to take their guns).
Most /k/ommandos jerk off to weapons and other military equipment and dream of "when SHTF" or "habbening". There are many subgroups in /k/ that fight against eachother, such as the 9mm vs .45 or AR vs AK arguments. These conflicts run deep and everyone is in one camp or another (even though that camp isn't necessarily one of the named ones).
They worship the /k/ube and glorifies weapons and war, their warcry is AVE NEX ALEA. Most hate people perceived as "libural", "gungrabbers" and/or "statists".
>How do the denizens of these places relate to one another when they travel between?
As long as they can have their guns they do not mind traveling to other places. If someone tries to take their guns they will scream AM I BEING DETAINED?! and/or I KNOW MY RIGHTS!. They will almost always argue against people that advocate gun control.
>What is the political landscape among them? Are some close allies, trading partners, sworn enemies and why?
/k/ dislikes /pol/ because the latter wants an authoritarian system. /k/ however share some ideas with /pol/ such as their common fantasy of "removing kebab".
1/2
>>44563452
2/2
>What does each place produce and what are their main imports and exports?
/k/ produces weapons, ammunition, military vehicles and all other things related to weapons and/or the military. They import a wide variety of animals for hunting (since the /k/ommandos have already killed off all native wildlife) and also imports all kinds of raw materials used for their weapon production. There is also a reportedly large underground market for furry materials, but no sane /k/ommando would admit it.
>What is each society's ultimate goal?
SHTF, when their survival/weapon skills can be shown to the world and they can "oper8" without any restrictions
Probably forgot a lot of shit
[s4s] is a tiny country next to the scattered tribes of /b/, that strangely has no military and practices a monk-like culture. Their main religion is one that worships niceness to others and repeating numbers.
>>44563493
They worship these repeating digits so much that they often forego niceness in order to steal the repeating numbers of other nations.
What's /trash/ in all of this?
A no-man's land in the middle of a war?
>>44563533
This sometimes raises the ire of other nations, but their country so out of the way, hard to traverse, and little known that military campaigns against [s4s] never happen.
They also worship birds and the great god of Toh'pkek
>>44563563
The tribes who consort with beasts
>>44563563
/mlp/ proxy state made up of refugees from /b/and /fur/
>>44563563
It's a giant hole in the ground in the middle of the largest continent where each nation's lawgivers, known as Haut Pok Kets, banish ne'erdowells. Unsurprisingly, it's filled with furries and /mlp/.
>>44563588
Anon, all the tribes on 4chan consort with beasts.
>>44563682
>>44563588
>dragons
>elves
Seems legit.
what about /sp/?
>>44563833
Kiddie fiddling, janitor infested shithole.
>>44563833
They worship a huge pantheon of Gods, which are separated into groups(Individual sports), which are separated into even smaller groups. The big groups rarely have a lot of trouble, but the smaller ones are always fighting. They have, however, banned some of the larger groups to another land.
>>44563914
>janitor infested shithole
lol wut?
/fit/ is a greek-styled city-state, except that the statues are actually /fit/izens. They worship a pantheon made of Scooby, Rippletits and Zyzz
>>44560149
/s4s/
Tiny country, with lots of wood and montains. It's easy to get lost there and it's inhabitants are always wandering around, searching things that makes little sense for the outer boards. However, like the quest for pacifism of true monk, we find their search nice and we can understand a bit of it.
>What is the most striking signature feature of this place?
The niceness. Their proximity with /b/ made them wary of rudeness and violence. They are seeking for inner and outer niceness through the way of dubs and memes.
>How do the denizens of these places relate to one another when they travel between?
They are always ready to learn about the others places culture, especially their memes. They won't always understand it either, but will deeply use and love them. Others people are a bit wary of them, but it depends.Some of their own creations may be used from other countries.
>What is the political landscape among them? Are some close allies, trading partners, sworn enemies and why?
The political forces are made with the flavor of the month. For a time, a grand memester will be heard by everyone else, chanching their wandering path to welcome the new meme. But as everything, the hype fades away, leaving a tender souvenirs. Some may last longer, but the true political forces are already know as some great meme (bunny, frog, smug, patrick batemane).
What does each place produce and what are their main imports and exports?
They produce the least usefull thing and thus the more wanted: praise for dubs. They travel among others boards to witness the happning of repetiting digits., like religious phenomenon. Since everyone loves them digits, hiring a /s4s/ monk is inda like hiring a cryer-woman.
>What is each society's ultimate goal?
Know each singular meme in the world, in the niceiest way possible. It's a never ending task that fulfill their lives. The goal is not the point, but the path is.

/pol/ - NOT Third Reich
>>44564543
/pol/ would't organized or powerful enough to qualify as a third reich, they're more like a group of wandering zealots who worship a dead god in hopes of it returning.
Mostly they just babble about the insane outdated edge-lord teachings of their diety and how awesome it's going to be when their god comes back to life and kills all the other races.
>>44564521
this is a nice post
>>44564521
[s4s] are fucking cancer so devoid of any creativity or original thought their only functionality is to piggy back off other boards without so much as a "by your leave".
They are the fucking Kender of 4chan and should be exterminated on sight.
>>44564521
Don't forget, their inter-dimensional king Gippo Dudee, who conquered them July 3rd 2013 has promised that he will one day return!
>>44566362
People still praise his name, hoping for his return.
They also praise the mighty Bateman, who gives them dubs and gets of various sorts
>>44566362
Wew!
