No seriously, anyone has an answer for that?

Thats just what people say, which is said mainly because they are war-hungry and, well yeah, brainwashed. Personally, with their social system and nothing else, I think they are like russia. Before GW its pre-russian revolution. During GW, its during the revolution *charr like pyre are starting to revolt* and the revolt ends in EotN. Then it is kinda like soviet russia after the revolt. I got this mainly because it has always been in chaos according to the ecology of the charr along with the way the revolt went; also after the revolt, pyre makes the charr atheists like how the soviet russians were. But I don't think anyone at all will agree with that far-out idea anyways

.
As for Orr, I think that the names of bosses are arabic, so I think that Orr was just overall an Arabic culture. And the Desolation seems to be like a ruined Egypt, the ancient armor makes that clear to me, along with the undead that are there. The Crystal Desert does have some hints of egyptian culture, which makes sense seeing that the Desolation and the Crystal Desert are the same desert, just 2 halves.

To sum it all up though, they're a mixture of Aztec, or were before shedding their Gods, and Mongols. Think about it, Ascalon has a Great Wall, the Charr invade from the Northlands.

Charr have living sacrifices to the Titans? uh, source?
