Welcome on the webpages that
present me, my hobbies and other activities to the
world. I'm Bernard, a Dutch person who has lived and
worked in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg since 2007. For
several years I worked as a language teacher, but
currently I am employed as a planner/coordinator of
language courses in a language school for (mostly) adult
clients.
Geofiction
Geofiction is the art of creating and elaborating
fictional geographical entities and everything that
comes with it, such as maps, politics, culture,
language, economy, society. These countries can be
developed as isolated projects or as part of projects
with two or more participants. Although geofiction in
general may also include fantasy and science fiction, my
countries are mostly modelled on real earth countries
with the contemporary level of technology, ideas, etc.,
which I find more appealing and challenging. I also hate
elves, dwarfs and dragons.
The
countries in the lists below are currently active and
therefore regularly elaborated and updated.
Countries on earth
Most of my countries are situated on
earth, but not always in the same 'universe'. This means
that of the countries below, Kronenburg and Cartyas
don't know of each other's existence. The AGL, FICT, and
Exumbra universes overlap; not all members of these
universes do 'business' with all members of the other
universes.
The
AGL,
FICT, and the
Exumbran Convention are fictional international
organisations that my countries have joined.
Atlantisgeo is a Dutch forum aimed to develop a
series of common continents in (mostly) the Atlantic
Ocean.

Countries
on other planets
Some of the
projects in which I take part are situated on other
earth-like planets. My currently active countries in
these projects include:
Some of my
countries are represented on
Geopoeia, a wiki dedicated to geofiction.
Activities on facebook
I have
three pages on facebook related to my geofictional
activities: the
Kronenburg page,
Learn Useless Adzhatic, and a (very inactive)
page dedicated to the fictional religion of the
Sambeke Bitheism.
Composer of classical music
Theoretically I
am a
composer of classical music, although not very
actively in the last couple of years.
Europe website
I like lists a lot and as lists of
heads of state and government of the countries of Europe
are as good a list as any other, I maintain a
website of
the current ones.
Languages
I speak several languages and
try to learn new ones
when I get the chance and have the time. At the moment
the languages I speak include Dutch (native speaker),
English (C1), French (B2), Luxembourgish (B2), German
(B2), Danish (A2), Russian (A2), Swedish (A1). I have
written understanding of Italian, Portuguese, Frisian, and
Norwegian and, to a lesser extent, Romanian and Spanish.
