ITT we name video game characters from weird countries I'll start
Niko Bellic from GTA 4 is from a country that technically doesn't exist (Yugoslavia)

You technically don't exist
Where does it say where he's from? It's never mentioned in-game where he was born.

In 2006, Yugoslavia was still united as Serbia and Montenegro. It was after this split that all the Yugoslav states were seperated (sans Kosovo). Yugoslavia probably still existed when GTA IV started development. Niko is probably Serbian, anyways.

Roman says at the very beginning they are Serbian, and the names of the characters from that country confirm it - Brevic, Cravic and Bellic (Bellic is anglicized for some reason)
>>386814647
gta wikia also he mentions fighting in the Yugoslav wars and speaks serbian, one of the nations that was part of Yugoslavia
>>386814893
In Rockstar's defense it would be easier to just make him speak with an accent than making him speak serbian the whole game

I meant the pronunciation of Bellic is anglicized, it's supposed to be pronounced Bell-itch, not Bell-ick. Cravic and Brevic were pronounced correctly and are both Serbian names, Bellic was not.

>>386815320
>Azerbaijan is a real place
I thought it was just Rockstar taking the piss with middle-eastern names.
>>386815923
>middle-eastern
is Azerbaijan middle eastern? i thought it was in the league of nations that no ones ever heard of like Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, basically all the countries around the Caspian sea besides Iran and Mother Russia
>>386816180
>league of nations that no ones ever heard of like Kazakhstan
come on, have you never seen Borat?
>>386814215
Several people are from countries that no longer exist; anyone born in Czechoslovakia, halves of now unified countries (East/West Germany, North/South Vietnam, etc), Burma, Yugoslavia, USSR, etc.
Niko is old enough that Yugoslavia would have still been a country.
