Name

[USS Monitor]

My name was inspired by John C. Calhoun, American political leader who was a congressman, the secretary of war, the seventh vice president (1825–32), a senator, and the secretary of state of the United States. He championed states’ rights and slavery and was a symbol of the Old South.

Hooray for 19th century American history references! Don't stand too close to the shore. My guns are loaded.

[Grand Unity of the Righteous Nation Cele]

The charcter limit was too short, so I had to adapt what I had already written

[Major-Tom]

Two words, David Bowie.

[The New California Republic]

I'd say it was pretty self explanatory...

[Valehart]

Two words that describe the entirety of the nation: Valiant. Hearts.

[Infected Mushroom]

I made sounds with my mouth then wrote them down. I liked Heloin, and didn't notice it's a letter away from heroin. I also pronounce it həˈləʊːɪn/Hello-In, if anyone cares.

I noticed this too.

I also noticed that if you say “Heloin” repeatedly people may hear HALLOWEEN

[Tyrgaard]

My ethnicity and nationality.

[Tridunton]

I hate Dill sauce, I want to bomb it out of existence, I just spelled Dill incorrectly.

Lol. Pretty sure you just named yourself after Tom Bombadil from Lord of the Rings.

[Heloin]

If you type Heloin into google for the longest time the top result was what looks like some kids Halloween party, never clicked on the video so who really knows. Now the top result is just Halloween.

[Crookfur]

All the reasonable spellings of Argyle/argyll were taken so I took the coolest sounding name from the bits of the area I was living in at the time. It was also mildly amusing to me a few other select folk that you could get a bus to Crookfur...

[Ethel mermania]

When I joined I was planning on running the nation based on big box Broadway musicals from the 1930's
.

Sounded good at the time.

[-Ocelot-]

"Ocelot" is my internet username. I use it everywhere except for some RPG characters, where I may prefer more fitting names since "ocelot" can be associated with agility, stealth, cunning etc. Can't name a barbarian "ocelot".

And no, it is not a metal gear reference. I just like cats. Although, thanks to this name, I was led to play Phantom Pain, which is amazing.

[Forsher]

I made a puppet once called (the) Piper At the Gates of Dawn (can't remember the exact phrasing or why I made the puppet).

It's a Wind in the Willows thing.

Pink Floyd were also referencing it but a fan sent me a TG mistaking me for referencing the band (to be fair, Pink Floyd are definitely a band worth being a fan of... although personally it's stuff like Time or High Hopes or Learning to Fly that I like more than the sort of thing on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn).

[Rynese Empire]

My nation has a lot of inspirations, but it's name is actually one of the easiest things that I had to do. At the time of making it, my idea came from a previous nation (Ryshun and Daisetsu), and I decided to properly unify that nation into it's largest group (the Rynese), and make it their Empire, with very German-Japanese bases.

Also because it's spanish translation is "Imperio Rínes", and "Rin" is spanish for "Rim", the metallic part of a cars/bikes/trucks/etc wheel, and since a large part of the nations' culture is based around vehicles, I thought it was cool.

[New Excalibus]

I had an old account where I pretty much spelled something random, stuck a few vowels in it, and added "Great" before it. Then I gave up on that one (I accidentally installed the "nudity" policy. ) and made this one, where I took that random word and stuck "New" before it. And that's how I got my name.

[New Excalibus]

I'd say it was pretty self explanatory...

Fallout, I presume. That's a popular pick.

[Vdara]

It was the name of the hotel I was staying at in Vegas, so... yeah.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

Well, initially, I wanted to make a completely inverted version of the United States; Socialist, rabble-rousing, Asianly conservative in philosophy (vis-a-vis bust-and-boom Americanism).

[A Cornstar]

I just thought it would be funny

[Rusthenia]

I took Rus from early Russian history and Ruthenia for my new Slavic nation(Rusthenia is my second main because I wanted an new name after my first) and then Rusthenia was born.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

My name was inspired by John C. Calhoun, American political leader who was a congressman, the secretary of war, the seventh vice president (1825–32), a senator, and the secretary of state of the United States. He championed states’ rights and slavery and was a symbol of the Old South.

Huh.


I see.

[Rkr]

I just wanted to make a puppet so I just typed random letters

[Pan-Asiatic States]

Neat flag though, where'd you get that?

[Firaxin]

Took the name of the Supremacy specific resource in Civilization: Beyond Earth, changed it a bit because I hate looking lazy, and just kept putting in different letters until it wasn't taken.

[Caembug]

slammed my head into the keyboard then rearranged the letters.
