Best Roleplay nation

[Foodstamp]

No. The pretender is totally distinct from the nation. Sure, the pretender just wants to kill all the other wannabe gods and send them to tartarus. But that has nothing to do with what the *nation* wants. Roleplaying a pretender chassis is totally different than roleplaying a nation.

I agree with the above.

Now, the nation ends up worshipping the pretender gods. But why? How? Of course, there are many possible answers, but all of these are going to have nuances based on the people in charge. And since I don't know how an EK thinks, because its totally incomprehensible to mortals, I can't figure out why they follow a pretender god.

We may not know how an Eagle King thinks, or a wizard for that matter, but it is fun to take a stab at it. By your line of reasoning, we would be regulated to role playing militia.
