I think I'm going to base the nations I come up with on early (1850's through the 1950s, roughly) sci fi, and make a push that atleast more of the "core" nations follow that trend-this is in keeping with the idea of extending Dominions in to a fictional "future" that is also based on our real world (in this case sci-fi, as opposed to fantasy) "mythology".

If that makes any sense?

Not that I want things to be limited, but that ideas spread out from the golden era of sci fi, hopefully in a way that-again like Dom3-entertains, but also seeks to educate a bit.
I can't really help much there, then. All I can say is that apparently, H.G. Wells has written books featuring Grey-like beings. What, did you really think you'd get away without including the Greys?

Also, is it just me, or has JimMorrison not replied to this thread yet?

A good one to start with might be Humans/Terrans. You know, marines, maybe some mechs/tanks, and reasonably non-weird spaceships.
Not including humans would be like a map of the world that left out Canada.

Alright, so that might have been a bad analogy. But the point remains, why would we leave out humans?
