The Racist Ghost of John C Calhoun wrote: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.

I love how exactly that you are.

Springhole name generator. It worked quite well for my first few puppets, as well: Athease is an exercise in anarchy and Toklax is an exercise in dystopia.
Athease sounds like "at ease" (and it's a headcanon snarky nickname for it), and Toklax sounds like "talk lacks", like you're scared to speak in the face of the government's rules and power and also indicates the isolation of the place with no immigration, no emigration, and very few tourists.
The government is elected from pools of experts in whichever fields are necessary, with polarizing issues having a minimum quotient for political balance (like abortion rights would be decided by a mix of pro-choice/pro-life expert advocates, for example).

I took the name Tigrex from Monster Hunter and just added an ia to the end.
My region is set during the Star Trek Online timeline, so the year is 2411. Tigrexia is a member of both the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Republic. So we are an FT Nation.

I mashed the Upper and Lower Sorbian forms of Lusatia (Łužica and Łužyca respectively), removed the diacritic, put the i next to the y so it is Luziyca, and there you go.

It derives from a word that means "down below", which in this context means deep within, which reflects the whole metaphysical concept of my nation.

Serendipity seemed like a nice name to base a country off of, given its enunciation as well as its actual definition. Just tacked on an "a" at the end and rolled with it.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

The real answer is I didn't know what the site was about and I didn't think I'd be here for fifteen fucking years and so when it asked me for a name I blanked. For some reason I forgot that I have a real life nickname that I use a variation of on every other site in the world and just wrote out "I can't think of a name".

Which got rejected because your name field doesn't accept special characters. I thought about starting a 'Walrustopia" or something like that but then I got the idea of making my flag an empty name tag and thought, "Eh, this will do."

I was temporarily banned under my old nation and wanted a new start so I used a name I came up with years before that. Ask ten year old Forsher.

It's possible the name is a derivative of the expression "For Sure". It is not, as has been jokingly suggested, a reference to the Foreshore which is a hugely hot button issue in NZ.
