Where is Cherno based off?

[AsHawkins 96]

This is a simple question with a simple answer. I need to know where Cherno is based, even though it is fictional. I need it for reasons I don't want to reveal quite yet. I think you'll all like it very much.

 

Where on the map would I look?

It is based of the country Czech Republic. Where the river is in real life it is the ocean in DayZ/Arma.

The overall profile of Chernarus (not Cherno) is based off of the area surrounding Usti nad Labem [sic?] in the Czech Republic.

 

However, its OVERALL GEOGRAPHIC SITUATION is more akin to the Ukraine or Georgia.

 

And it's historical (distant and recent) political situation is more akin to the former Yugoslav republics or Chechnya/Dagestan.

 

In short, it's an amalgamation. It's not really based on any one particular thing. And, moreover, what we see in DayZ is merely a small portion of the country of Chernarus. We play in South Zagoria.
