Anyways, my impression of Omnia was that it represented the Middle East.
....omnia is a generic country ruled by the roman catholic church.

Omnia as a country is a Theocractic state, and is surrounded by desert states as well, but the heirarchy of the Omnian clergy in Small Gods is pretty similar to the Roman Catholic Church.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

It was fun seeing Corporal Nobbs! Though he wasn't as disgusting as I imagined. Also they gave Visit an Uberwald accent, I thought he was Omnian!
And you could not really visualize Nobbs into something like this. I'd break the telly.I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

I haven't read a Pratchett book since about 1989, but I caught this. While I don't know the actual story, I'd have thought it would have included Pratchett's "footnote" humour a lot- comic asides that fly off at a tangent from the plot. I didn't see that coming across in the film, so I really didn't find it very funny.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

They were certainly the parts I found funniest. I'm not into all this "familiarity humour" where things are considered funny through repitition.
In the books I read, I found the tangents to be the most inventive and funny bits. Pratchett clearly loved doing them too, because there were no shortages.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland
