Ok so my opinion on “country/state oc’s”
Okay; let’s get this out the way. It’s not a country/state oc if this place exists. I don’t care if it’s Hetalia or countryhumans. Places that exist can’t be country/state ocs cause, ya know. THEY ALREADY EXIST.
An example of this is I heard heard someone say Arkansas is their oc(and they did clarify that this was their state oc. So it’s not some random country that happened to have the same name as a u.s. state.) I understand that you may have your own spin on the character, but so does everyone else-
An example of something that IS a country/state oc is one of my personal country oc’s, Xion. Xion is my oc because I completely made up a situation in which the country comes to power. Xion is not a real place, however, on a map I could point to where it would be(in this case just like the entirety of Africa—).
I don’t care if you draw or make fanfiction about places like Arkansas, but please don’t call it your oc. Only call it your oc if you came up with it.
