Hey, Amon, there's no reason to get angry. I wasn't saying that I wanted to run the NES, I was just pointing out that a centaur-like being wasn't exactly my idea of humanoid. Anyway, Wikipedia says "The term humanoid refers to any being whose body structure resembles that of a human."
I'd say that a centaur doesn't have a body structure resembling that of a human...
Amon Savag
The Great
The upper body of a centaur resembles that of a human. Just because it's not a complete replica of a human with minor differences like taller or smaller or pointy ears doesn't make it not a humanoid. Same with Nagas, Lamias, Lizardmen, Mermen, troglodytes, and etc... Because a race of beings aren't bypedal doesn't mean they aren't humanlike, i.e. humanoid.

Even though sources say something, doesn't mean the Mod needs to accept it. If EQ says its a humanoid, it fits for this NES. I don't think its a humanoid, but then again, I would really like beings similar to humans (mermen, centaurs, etc.) to be included in this. I really don't care, and its EQ's decision, not ours. If you want an NES like this with just humanoids by your standards...go make it.
Amon, make the mermen! Do it! DOOOO EEEET!

Centuar and Naga are acceptable, though I guess they arent really humanoid. Was assuming Naga would be created anyways. Remember though for you watery people, that the map is on land, so that's where the cities and so forth will be, though you can have them on rivers and lakes.

OK, then I have no problem with that. Adrogans, I hope that, in time, your nation and mine have some kind of diplomatic contact. Amon Savag, my apologies. Charles Li, keep it up. EQ, please, UPDATE! 
I have given the Gal Galeth a point into strength to make up for the missing one. Also Bramberlose would be a "her" and a "mother."
I am allowing the sending of orders for the first update, as this is likely to be the shortest NES in the series, and the sooner we're started, likely the better. Therefore if you want to place cities and so forth, you're more than welcome as long as you pay the cost.
@Churchill: Based on the stats you've provided and since you didn't create background description I have a recommendation or two. First of all, based on the high strength rating, the Californian would likely be taller and stronger than a RL human. Other than that, I'd imagine they'd be very similar.
@Charles Li, we still need a government for Lakola.
@Adrogans, You are allowed to create heroes for your nation, but remember, they are beyond your control. In some cases you may regret the hero created.

Basic Physical Description
Gnomes, to put it bluntly, are small. But what they lack in size they make up for in ferocity. Their arms are not propotionate to the rest of the body, making them scrape their hands across the ground. They have a fast, frantic way of walking. It is believed their intelligence and ingenuity comes from the paracite on the stomach.
Background and Creation
The Toata paracite was created by Sahtra, to control his enemy's troops, while the Toata creature was created by Thudd. However, Thudd rejected these creatures, as he believed them not strong enough. He created their always fresh wounds as a sign of failure, at cast the entire race of them out of his domain. They found solace in Sahtra's domain, for he saw their potential. He combined the paracite and the creature, and created the Toata.
Nation Name: (Sahtra)Merlee (Sahtra's Domain (on Azmenaal))

Can we create a race but a hero instead of a nation and serve another player's nation or not EQ? I ask because that was what I was about to do, if Milarqui will have me.

Strength: 3
Intelligence: 2
Ingenuity: 2
Mysticism: 3
Diplomacy: 0
Basic Physical Description
Green scaley lizardlike men with 2 arms and 2 legs, and a lizardlike head. They do stand upright. The Amonomo are different from your average lizardmen in the fact that they've evolved their bloodstream to be neither warm nor cold blooded. Think of their bloodstream not as a heated source, nor a pitcher of water that can be frozen, but as a sort of anti-freezing coolant that brings oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body. This allows the Amonomo to be able to survive high in the mountains, where the temperature may at times become sub-zero.
Background and Creation
The Amonomo were at first enslaved by the Bakemono, which were a country of orcs, who inhabitted the land of Gizima. Being enslaved and bred to do manual labor for the orcs, the Amonomo grew stronger with each generation. Some of these Amonomo were brought into the Bakemono noble manors to serve for other jobs rather than manual labor, and even educated some. One day, however, an Amonomo Akradata, which is a slave-warrior, led a revolt of the Amonomo. This revolt swept the whole of Gizima and a large-scale slaughter of all Bakemono happened.
Ecology
Now the Amonomo live in a tribal society as they had before, having destroyed the cities of the Bakemono. The feudal society that the Bakemono had used was adopted by the Amonomo, as well as their interest into mysticism and the arcane. Each tribe is led by a Daimyo, of noble birth. The warriors of the tribe are considered "Amonomo", and those who are too old to fight usually go into the arcane and become wisemen. The women of the society take care of economics, as the men are too busy honing their skills and proficiency in war. The land of Gizima is a mountainous jungle land, and from these mountains are the Gilemak, which is a huge venemous spider that the bakemono domesticated. The Amonomo have also learned to domesticate these huge spiders, and have formed cavalry which are called Gilemakiri.
I guess that's good enough for now.

@Vertinari: indeed that is allowed, in fact encouraged.
By the way, if those who have art for the NES desire, they can post the said art in the appendix thread. Sort of a way of collecting the works made for the NES.

EDIT: After reading the message Vertinari sent me, I realised that he wasn't making a joke. Honestly, this ******* syndrome of the "Glasses On Your Face" it's too bad. Next time I'll make sure I read the WHOLE message before saying anything.

Is it possible to get a map showing our exact locations?
Yes, it was. You can create a race without a nation or just a hero of another race. You can even create a nation of someone else's race. Not putting much limits here.

It says existing races and anyway there is no need to be nasty if someone misunderstood part of the rules Milarqui.
As requested here is a map of the current nations.

I will be creating a Hero once I see a nation spring up that I want to start in.
