A nice, simple little RP game. I'll start us off by asking a question: "what's the most popular *** in your nation?" The first person who responds has to answer, maybe give a little explanation as to what the *** is and why, and then asks the same question, but with a different ***. For instance, if I asked "what's the most popular beverage in your nation?" the first person to respond would, for instance, say "Diet Coke, because our citizens are heavily-influenced by the lifestyle choices of catwalk models." Then they might ask "what's the most popular car make in your nation?" Elementary, my dear Watson.
So...

For men, an almost Victorian-like style is popular; frock coats over a waistcoat, shirt and cravat, with boots. Women tend to choose elegant but practical dresses for everyday wear, often with fine embroidery, and then a tunic-jacket over it.

Avaerilonians are known for liking classical music- particularly the baroque and Romantic (Beethoven, Mahler, etc.). Last year, the most downloaded song on the internet (in Avaerilon) was Mahler's Symphony No. 5 Adagietto, beating such popular artists as Queen, the Eagles and The Who to the top spot. Experts have pondered the reason classical music has remained so popular for so long in Avaerilon, and have been arguing about it for almost as long. That said, a lot of Avaerilonians like good rock music.

Many Newdepolderians vacation within the Republic, due to its varied and beautiful scenery, culture and climate and its availability and economicallity. However, other popular destinations include the Republic's Commonwealth Districts (semi-autonomous districts mostly located farther away from the mainland and possessing their own district parliaments, a feature not possessed by normal-level districts, as the Republic has a unitary governmental system.), especially Newdepolderian Slavia and Ålcróworlund. The most popular foreign destinations are India, China, Tibet (the Republic recognises Tibet as a sovereign nation in its own right, separate from China), Phing Phong, Japan and Mongolia. "Eastern" culture is very popular, as is Eastern religion, so "Eastern" destinations are logical.

The Fereldonian Marsh Dragon is probably the most popular pet. This diminutive reptile, about the size of a large spaniel, often emits bursts of flame when excited or angry, but is easily suited to living within a home, and enjoys affection and attention. Many Avaerilonians enjoy taking their dragons on "walks" through local countryside and parks, with their dragons often flying-off to chase pigeons and rabbits. They often come back with a fresh, hot meal for their keeper...

A vast majority of the population lives in rural areas, thus small cottages and farmhouses are quite common.

Tsrenaantern: A smooth, creamy treat, made from fruit juices, thick cream, and a specific veriety of tree sap, with a texture somewhere between sorbet and ice cream, but fuller. The most popular flavour is Astraniberri (a hedgerow berry), that tastes something between a rasberry, a lemon and a nettle, and contains a very small amount of stimulant.
What is the most popular ceiling decoration style in your nation?

Ceiling decorations, and most architectural features for that matter in the UDS are inspired by mathematically significant concepts, such as natural growth and logarithms, significant polar functions, and a variety of constants. Surfaces are usually curved or flat, with little texture, if any. Recently, however, small amounts of Gothic and Classical architecture have become popular. The typical building in the UDS built today will usually have a large amount of mathematically inspired decorations, followed by a small amount of the latter styles in order to give some aesthetic variety and contrast.

Sci-fi films always sell-out at the cinema quicker than just about anything else. Dramas and action films are also popular, but Avaerilonians really enjoy being able to sit-back and immerse themselves in a universe of lasers, aliens and foreign worlds. Star Wars has been one of the most successful film series ever shown in Avaerilon, for instance, and many cinemas offer revival showings of the films on a regular basis.

Sports cars and grand tourers are popular in Avaerilon, since most Avaerilonians either commute via public transport or walk to work. Thus, cars are usually for pleasure, and Avaerilon's winding, often empty roads are the perfect territory for our largely handmade sports cars and GTs.

Currently, the #1 bestselling novel is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, but, the bestselling novel of all time is The Fellowship of The Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien, which is still very popular, as are the rest of the Lord of The Rings books.

Blue, likely due to our connection to the sea and the fact that it is the background colour of our flag. Plus it's a very calming colour.

A local rap song, which drives the older population up the walls. It's a protest song, encourages people to speak up about their frustrations, which is popular amongst the younger generation because of the relative boredom they experience growing up. Zmon is not keeping up with the youth culture. What's the most popular career in your nation?

Grolsch is the most popular tourist destination for Avaerilonians within the SLU, and a number of political and cultural similarities of course act in a favourable manner; ergo, it would be the most popular SLUan state in Avaerilon besides the Magnificent Kingdom itself. Having said that, Rhygwd speaks the same language, has a strikingly similar culture to northern Fereldan, shares a very similar political system, and practically rolls-out the welcome mat for Avaerilonian tourists, so that would be a close second.
