So basically my friend was talking about this professional composer who used to come up with video games and then write soundtracks for them. I decided for my own personal development to try it. I came up with a rather difficult idea, so as I go along I want to share it with you guys. Basically I want to write music for a strategy game where you play as different countries of history. The challenge here is correctly emulating their styles. Here's the list of tracks I've come up with so far that I need to write.

Egypt
Iraq
I plan on adding more countries that I can think of. Any good ideas I would appreciate a lot.
I'm currently working on Russia, it's pretty difficult. I'm currently set up with a trio of instruments: Mandolin (couldn't get a balalaika soundfont >.<), bass, and accordion. I expect Iraq and the Asian countries to be the hardest.
I'm using mediafire for hosting. Does anyone know of a better service? Will this one stay forever?
