[discussion] What all kind of -tans there are in Hetaworld?

[faenoriel.livejournal.com]

So. Nations have their nation-tans. UN has it's own anthromorph; same with HRE who wasn't really anything but EXTREMLY loose bunch-of-nations thingy. Even Sealand, who has how many inhabitants? And Gilbert started off as a field hospital and even after that he was just a militar order with scraps of land here and there.

(edit) I really fail at everything. There's the rest of the text MENT to be posted...

I've wondered what all kind of things can have their own anthromorph. Can just any group of people "produce" their X-tan?

~ Cities. Shouldn't there be city-tans? Some have more population than certain nations and culture and identity of their own.
~ EU most certainly has it's own tan. She lives with Germany and France. What about other similar unions?
~ The Hospitaler Knights and the Templar Knights must have had their anthromorphs. Little Gil looked up to the Templar as a role model and hero. Possibly there's also French Foreign Legion-tan?
~ Sport clubs. I'm a freak who likes both Arsenal and Tottenham and can totally see this.
~ Fandoms. OH COME ON. There's certainly Heta-tan somewhere amongst us.
