How did you come up with your nation name?

[Steam Steam East]

Steam Steam: It's a reference to both YTMND and the fact that my nation is a rapidly industrialized and steampunk nation.

East: I imagined my nation as a more eastern one, hence the Turkish flag.

[Montanaa]

I live in Montana. Plus, I'm paranoid. Since I wanted to "live" in a Montana, that's where the name came from. Hence, Paranoid Montanaa. Lol

[Second Helpings]

I was hungry.

[Meinverden]

Mein = "mine", in German
verden = "world" in Norwegian, I think =3

It just seemed to work quite well.

[Bisgea]

Bisgea is what you get if you apply certain ciphers to my first name.

[Lancaster of Wessex]

Lancaster of Wessex originates from an e-wrestler I concocted in e-wrestling, i.e. His Grace Robert James Lancaster II, Duke of Wessex (C); hence the Dukedom I orginated for His Grace in NS. Huzzah!

After a drunken weekend of revelry that is still mostly a blur, I woke up with it tattooed on my scrotum. Best weekend ever.

[Maurepas]

I decided to scrap Skallvia, cause I wanted something closer to home...

and after "Biloxi", "Mississippi", "Gulf Coast", and "West Florida" were taken, I discovered that "Maurepas" was the original Settlement at Biloxi, so, I tried that, and by some miracle it wasnt taken, so I went with it...

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

The fighter (sentouki) weaves spells and fights against teams with different names like Fearless, Breathless, Sleepless and the sacrifice (gisei) takes the damage of the battle for him.

[Hippostania]

I like hippos, they're beautiful animals. Then, I couldn't decide if I should name my country ''Hipponia'' or ''Hippostan'', so I mashed both of them together
