I'd say that mine is obvious, as it isn't like some others where it is comprised of a seemingly random string of vowels and consonants that don't form an already recognised word or words.

I would ask about your nation name’s etymology but I’d figure that’s be too similar to this thread/more of a F&NI thing

Turth, just like "Truth" except with exchanged "u" And "r".
Hard T, UR just like in "Tour" And TH just like in "Three"

And while at it, Turth comes not from "truth", but rather from my awesome try to hide "Thoth" into it.
Welcome to Turth. A nation, where human rights are respected, no matter who you are. A nation with beautiful forests and beaches, compassionate citizens and thorough social policy. A nation you will feel welcome in, no matter the time...

Visit Turth today. Or don't, we don't care.

Political: leftist, progressive (ranging around DemSoc, SocDem, liberal socialism, market socialism).

Religious: Kemetist, with a hint of omnism, deism and agnosticism.

Its pronounced “Kelt-on” but 9 year old me couldn’t spell and NS doesn't allow spelling changes
In my book of lore i made on “Kelton” it originates from the name of our first king Celtus I (Reign 1346-1382)
"so apparently I needed a signature. Are you satisfied now?"
