Little details are what can take a world from 'good' to 'great'. How hard it rains, what words are used in the everyday language of your country, how one nation feels about another, what traditions they have, all sorts of things, from small to large. <br><br>The idea behind this is that it can be hard to come up with a lot of little details yourselves, especially for something as large as a nation. So, what I've done is compiled a list, which I will update periodically, of small details that you can use, modify, or be inspired by, to create your nation or area more defined. <br><br>**Location and State**<br><br>1.
