1. Do you pay attention to the real world correlations to the randland countries?
Yes. There seem to be similarities with our world: Aiel remind me of Israelis: tough warriors; Tairens: Moroccans, etc.
2. Have you ever wondered why all Seanchan seem to be described as having a drawling accent, even though they're from all over a second continent, and so should have multiple accents?
One would expect them to have some variations on the drawl.
3. If you have to be Cairhienin or Domani, which would you be, and why? Domani. Cairhienin seem rather uptight!
4. Of the currently existing Borderlands, which would you most enjoy being a citizen of?
Shinenar
5. Of the historic nations (the 10 nations or any of the other fallen nations), which would you be from? Manetheren.
6. If you had to be from Tear or Illian, which would you be from?
Illian.
7. You are a man (just for this question) and have to marry a woman from WoT. Which nation would you go wife-hunting in?
Andor. They seem more normal though many of the WOT females are way too bossy and think that men are stupid & stubborn. I am a woman by the way.
8. As a non-channeling woman, would you prefer to live in Tar Valon or Amadicia?
Tar Valon. Amadicia would be like living during the days of the Spanish Inquistion.
9. Would you prefer to be from part of the globe unclaimed by any country (like the Caralain Grass) or from a part that's claimed, but never sees their monarch (the Two Rivers)?
Claimed.
10. What is your theory on the origin of the Seafolk? Are they connected to dai'shain aiel from the AoL, or are they simply the descendants of the lucky people who were able to get to a boat during the Breaking?
I think that the Amayar are the descendants of the dai'shain.
11. Why do you think Seanchan Ogier who serve in the Empress's Deathwatch Guards are called "Gardeners?"
Maybe relates to their origin in Randland where the Ogier are truly gardners?
12. How many Malkieri do you expect to answer Nynaeve's call?
Most that receive the message will answer.
13. What do you think of the Andoran system of Royalty that determines fitness to rule by connection to one common ancestor?
Not that different that our current system that is based on heredity which produces both good and bad rulers.
That's it for now.
