i´m sorry but it´s not correct.. the main parts are:

lyran commonwelath: german, irish and scottish
draconis combine: japanese, scandinavian and arab
federated suns: french, british and american (usa)
confederation capella: chiniese and russian
free world leagues: russian, spain, italian and latin america

Not quite I think.
FedSuns has more in common with scotts then the lyrans, think of planets like Firgroove and Northwind in the FedSuns. You can't get more scottish then those 2 plantes, and on the other hand I could not name a single scottish planet in the LC.
Lyran has the italians for sure. If I remember that correctly the Kelswa family is of italian origin, and they even went as far as bringing their old family estates (read castles and medieval manors) to the Skye worlds (at least the castle on skye itself is imported stone for stone from terra).
Space US was the old terran hegemony IIRC.
Might be correct on the FWL, the only part I know for sure is that it includes spain, the others were mere guesses on my part.

Get another mod with german language skills and one with russian and you'd have the 3 big groups of BT/MW players covered. Should not be that much of a problem.

Tough your idea sounds good too.

glengarry
canonbie
kirkcaldy

That was the Lestrade family that had its castle moved (to Summer, according to Stackpole's Warrior's Trilogy.) The Kelswa family is from the Tamar Pact, but they get tied in with Free Skye after Ryan Steiner married Moresha Kelswa in 3034 (according to 20 Year Update).

The Lestrades are indeed Italian, though. Not sure about the Kelswas.

The Commonwealth also has a significant Scandinavian population, probably from Rasalhaugians who fled when the Draconis Combine conquered the Principality of Rasalhague during the 24th Century. At the very least, the CBT RPG book lists Swedish as one of Steiner's secondary languages.

Damn im feeling kinda not worthy with all those vets around ;D, but i guess ur just regular
guys aswell.
but i made up my mind and picked Steiner to be my house.

Tbh. It was no easy choice, because i never really had the chance to bind myself to one
Particular house (no real MW online experiances (just some casual MWLL stuff).
and im a bit biased about the whole Victor vs. Katrina thing...(read all the books ;D
but thats another timeline right? ^^

But thats my choice.
and i kinda like the one-size-fits-all-Atlas concept ;D

I hope we have a nice and ofc victorious time together.

with an attitude like that you'll fit right in.

Let's not forget about the fact that Judaism is the second most popular religion in the Lyran Commonwealth.

Personally, I'm reserving a dedicated ton in my Atlas for cream cheese and lox.

After all, crushing mechs on the battlefield is important, but nothing wins hearts and minds like a warm bagel.

That's true, I completely forgot about religion. Not only have we representatives of every major Terran faith, but we've made a few of our own (like the One Star Faith). Atheists are well-represented, too. We even have a Commonwealth Religious Council to help keep things (reasonably) fair.

Lyrans, we have to follow our Archon.
Forget the language/religion and warm bagels.

Forget our warm bagels oO
ARE YOU NUTS????

I will shutdown my heat system and boil some eggs on my mech XD

[Lina Thoren]

Perpaps a compromise, then: we dispose of our enemies, then toast our bagels over the flaming piles of wreckage that were once their 'mechs?

You guys have missed the point. The bagels aren't primarily meant for personal consumption--they are a fail-safe.

Imagine if you will, a sad Draconis Combine planet, with sad Draconis Combine people living sad Draconis Combine lives.

Suddenly, a giant blue and white Atlas crests over the horizon. The pilot hops out and starts handing out these delicious fishy breakfast sandwiches. The people think to themselves, "The Coordinator never gave me any free food. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've been starving for the past few years. These new guys are all right. Maybe I'll start a guerrilla war and put them in charge. At the very least, I'd definitely hide them from the authorities in the unlikely event that they lose a battle."

Donegal Bagels--The Best Psy-Ops Weapon Since Money (Did I mention we're also really rich?)!

P.S. Some of our more "social" mechwarriors might not be above tossing a few bagels on the reactor of a vanquished foe for a toasty snack, but I find they taste too much like radiation. Toasting bagels on one's own mech, however, is a time-honored Lyran tradition and highly encouraged.

But the rads give it such a piquant flavor!

I saw a Russian thread today is it OK to talk our first language again????
I dont have a problem talking English with you guys but I hate looking up things in an on line dictionary from time to time.

[Renegade]

I hope so...I kinda liked having the mixture of german and english in some of the posts. It forces me to improve.
