I'm thinking the Tenori should be up by the lake itself, but that's just me.

My mistake, got it from here. I did the text under a minute, I believe the leadership form is not what you had in mind either. I mean no offense, just needed an example to show how wiki works and using Russian Emirates got old :/.
This is what I took your info from, there's two "nation name" sections - is first one the culture name then?
Nation name: Kanoris, Adjective: Kanor (singular), Kanori (plural)
Starting Location: On the coast of the southwestern sea where the rivers meet.
Society: For the leadership, there is a king. When the king dies, the country's nobles elect a new king, but it can only be from males descended from the former King. If there are no males, the new king can be picked from any males related to the former King by blood. The next rank, Nobles, rule over a certain area, though their laws can be vetoed by the King. Nobles are picked in whatever way the area picked a ruler before they were unified by the Kanori, which ranges from voting to hereditary rule to a duel to the death. A person can become a slave as a punishment, or as captured people from other nations. It is hereditary, but if a "ronakid" (heroic deed) is performed and judged by the noble or owner, the slave will be freed.
Lineage: The Kanori do not have an official caste system beyond the Nobles, but the children generally get a social status based on their parents, and rich families stay rich by passing on their riches to their children.
Values: The Kanori value riches and loyalty to the King. Most people are neutral about war, and will not attack unprovoked, but it doesn't take much to provoke them.
Religion(s): When the original Kanori came to the valley and conquered the much more numerous, but less advanced inhabitants, the Toruni, they brought with them their god, Kanorin, the "god of all that is." However, the original inhabitants had two gods, Attulud, the god of Order, and Goranul, the god of Chaos. Eventually, the other two gods assimilated into Kanori society, and the two original gods are worshiped by all as slightly lesser gods.
Past: The Toruni were conquered by Kanorid the Conqueror and his hordes, and won with his advanced technology. However, fearing that there may be an uprising a few generations later, he crowned himself King, but let the original leaders of the Tanori tribes become Nobles of their respective areas. The descendants of his trusted Hordesmen became the rich-but-not-Noble class, and together they built the great city of Kanoris.
Economic Base: Though people try to be self-sustainable, with every self-respecting family owning at least a garden, one can generally get a job with rich people or Nobles, doing something that slaves are considered to lowly to do. There is a currency, the Konores, made out of bronze and silver.
Nation Names: Kanorin, Attulud, Goranul, (gods), Kanorid (founder), Tanoris, Tanor, Tanori (original tribes of the area)
Person Names: Kanoral, Kanorlund, Kanorit, Kanorak, Kanorod (male), Kanoraled, Kanorlunded, Kanorited, Kanoraked, Kanoroded (female)
Place Names: Kanoris (city) Daga Kanorat (larger nearby river) Dalid Kanorat (smaller nearby river), Kanorav (sea), Kanorog (the World)
Yeah, my first NES.
You can always pick a nation from a different, already player created culture.
Shall be done.

The One and Only
Culture Name: Dryadalis(Noun) Dryadales(Plural) Dryadalum (Adjective)
Starting Location: Anywhere up North.
Society: Dryadales are a Monarchy. One person (the Imperator) rules his people. He has absolute power. The sex which rules does not matter to Dryadales, as they have no stereotypes of the opposite gender. The only way to become a ruler is if you are the legal heir to the throne. However there are many ranks within the culture. Even the poorest peasent can earn a rank, and obtain the highest position atainable for non-royals, Custos or Guardian.
Ranks are obtained by the Imperator himself, and no one else. This is how people know who is who and if the rank is real. Along with the rank, the Dryadale gets a crown called the Parva Coronam. In this way, no one can make false claims.
Dryadales use slavery, only if the person is of another culture. Slavery on another Dryadale is an immediate death sentence.
A slave can become of Dryadalis culture if he/she lives with their owner for 5 years and if they get permission from their owners and the Imperator. All Dryadales can be identified from their accent, which sounds like an Orc but more lighter as well as faster. They also have a blue marking on their arm when born. A slave can obtain this by getting it imprinted by the Imperator. They use the blood of a deceased which gets in-graved on their arm.
Honour holds a very high place for a Dryadale. Even in war, the way you fight must not be barbaric. This is the reason why Dryadales are highly advanced in their society.
In the family, the mother is most important and must always have first preferance. The father is usually the bread winner and the leader of the house. Sons are usually preferred over daughters, as they are the key to the family name surviving. However, female may keep their maiden name if they choose to.
Lineage: A Dryadale can find out who he/she is through their fathers line. The father is seen as an equal to the mother.
Your starting place depends on who your father was. However this can be changed if you want it to. Those born to the King will be the legal heir.
Values:Those with the higher skill level will rise, and those who can do nothing will fall. Wealth can only take you so far, your hard-work will make you stand out. There are Kings and Slaves, but Slaves are only allowed if they are of another culture. Honour is more important than any thing, and if you are honourable in life, you will live a great after-life.
Religion(s) Veritatem is the name of the religion. There are 2 gods. Luminaria is the High God of Caelo or Heaven, and all worship him. Calidum is the Dark God of Infernum or Hell. If you hold high Honour in your life, you will live a great afterlife. Darkness will await those who cause chaos.
Honour can save your life from Infernum. If you guilty of a crime and admit it, all you must do is kill yourself to live in Caelo with Luminaria.
War is considered chaos if it is unreasonable, but Dryadales will fight if they must, and are amazing Warriors.
Past: They say Dryadales evolved from Orcs, but saw the goodness in life, and became more intelligent. They settled on this world about 1000 years ago, and have built a lasting legacy. They speak a different version of modern day Latin and Basque
Economic Base: One earns his living if one is good at what he does. The King may sometimes earn less than an outstanding Artist. The Imperator does what is best for his people. Most Dryadales earn their living off farming and hunting. Forestry is also common. The wealthier Dryadales earn their living off Art, Sculpting, and taxes, if they work in the Regium, The Royal House.
Nation Names: Vallelux, Civatalux, Dryaterrae, Drya, Vulleum, Terrahonora, Rivendella, Flumenlux, Regium Drydalis.
Person Names: Legonis, Verror, Tonis, Unum, Faber (Males)
Legonia, Tonia, Laylonia, Genoria, Eoin, Glendayle (Females)
Place Names: Caelo (Heaven), Infernum (Hell), Draconis Tectum, Argia, Erraldoia Tenplua, Dryadalia, Duende (Cities), Azkarura (rivers), Munduan (The World)

Me likey. Only these questions:
*How are the ranks chosen ?
* Who gives out the titles and how do I know if bob the builder truely has that title or if he is just lying scammer claiming he has some awsome rank/title?
* How is it decided who is 'Dryadales culture' when slaving people? What if someone says he is 'Dryadales' or some bordertown claims to be inhabited by Dryadales, whilst their 'culture' is not similar with dryadales in most ways. What about slaves who have lived with Dryadales for a while? If they know the culture well enough, are they still slaves?

This is awesome! I like the backstory, even tho it's a non-fiction NES (meaning no mythical creatures or magic), I like that your people say they 'evolved' from orcs.
It's like a god raping a pull, who gives birth to a egg of world, which then falls and shatters into pieces, creating earth. But... Way more awesome!
Only thing that's unclear to me is, what is this "crown" you mentioned?
Is it metal crown that kings wear in movies or is it tooth (amulet, I don't think dentists are so common in bronze age) or is it paper? Perhaps a tatoo made with special ink? I'm sorry if my english is too poor to understand the meaning behind that word. I'm asking to get a better understanding of your society =)

It is a crown that Kings wear in movies, but smaller. I forgot to add that they are also given a Ruby ring...is that possible in this world though, a Ruby ring.
Can I add it to the Wiki?

Yes you can. Altho a crown for each ranked officer would slight overkill in terms of funds, same with ruby rings, your cultures have just barely began mining or don't even know what a pickaxe is. A pedant or medallion would be way cheaper. Of course, if ranked people are just like 5-10% of total population, then it could be done, but it'd still be unrealistic for all of 'em have a valuable crown. A ring or pedant/amulet would be cheaper alternatives.
