1. Do you pay attention to the real world correlations to the randland countries?
Not really.
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?
No. The Seanchan rule with an iron fist, and are capable of moving around great distances with to'raken and raken. So, not really.
3. If you have to be Cairhienin or Domani, which would you be, and why?
Domani. Excellent barterers and no GoH.
4. Of the currently existing Borderlands, which would you most enjoy being a citizen of?
Arafel. They're weird.
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?
Tear. They have the most awesome of swear words.
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?
Arad Doman or Aiel Waste.
8. As a non-channeling woman, would you prefer to live in Tar Valon or Amadicia?
Tar Valon.
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)?
Unclaimed.
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?
Descendants of the Dai'shain Aiel.
11. Why do you think Seanchan Ogier who serve in the Empress's Deathwatch Guards are called "Gardeners?"
Because they have Ogier Groves.
12. How many Malkieri do you expect to answer Nynaeve's call?
Tens of thousands.
13. What do you think of the Andoran system of Royalty that determines fitness to rule by connection to one common ancestor?
A bit ridiculous, but it works for them.
That's it for now.
