'tribal' inspired nation

[Omnirizon]

I hadn't realized Machaka is inspired by Zulu. But I see it now.

Thinking more about the nations, Oceania is probably meant to reflect, in the most general way, some minor aspects of the Pacific Islanders. But they really can't do that region of culture justice with the Oceania nation.

Islander mythologies involve flying canoes, islands of (mischevious) women, winged people, and people with tails; very little of their mythology had to do with life under the sea. They also had (amazingly) tales relating to a northern people with ability to build wonderous things that the Islander people could only copy (amazing because to some people this is prophetic of Europeans; although this is kind of an arrogant eurocentric take on these myths).
