Why did you call your nation, what?

by **Cadiz Republic** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:09 pm

For example I named my nation the Cadiz Republic after a city in Spain. Give your examples!

Mercator Terra is (shitty) Latin translation that means Market Land

The word on the flag (the language is Greek) means agora. Agora means marketplace.

In a book series I read, Helleron is a corrupt industrial city. Where basically everything in the world is produced, for as cheap as possible, and for as much as possible.

Doesn't take a whole lot of brainpower to figure this one out. I am not good at naming; hell, even in RPs, I steal names from other things (i.e. I went through an eight-month roleplay as a commando I named after an obscure Seattle Seahawks football player I saw during a preseason game I was watching while I was drafting up an RP entry form)

I think Fiduciaca had something to do with "Freedom" or "Liberty" in latin. In itallian it means confidence but I'm pretty sure that's not how I got it, but you never know...

I closed my eyes and punched the keyboard. I can't even think of a way to explain it IC.

I chose this name because I tried several other names appropriate for a nation ruled by Dinosaurs, but they were all taken, so I settled with 'Saurisia'.

by **Stachland** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:19 pm

My grandfather's nickname for me is Stach. I think it's a Polish thing, because he grew up in a large Polish community in Chicago. So it was Stach+land.

by **Venetoland** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:26 pm

my last name+ prounounciable suffix.

by **Tipidemica** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:27 pm

I called my Nation Tipidemica because my internet name is Tipper, and The Country of Tipper sounds pretty stupid. So I Took my Youtube channel's name and added an 'a' to make a country. Tipidemic is my youtube channel, and Tipidemica is my nation (clearly).

It's a real place that is friggin' cool, even if only tangentially related to the nation I built (and that mostly heraldry).

by **Helghast empire** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:39 pm

based off of helghan

by **The Erusean Republic** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 8:52 pm

Based off Erusea in Ace Combat World but I mix things from other nations with in that game. (ie. Arkbird from Osea)

I don't know. Ask someone else.

Take a wild guess, kid.

by **Disskord** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:13 am

Every other variant on the words 'chaos' and 'discord' were taken.

by **The Nuclear Fist** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:20 am

My nephew (who this account belonged to originally), named it what it is named as a way to sound 'totally badass'. I refer to it as Rustonia, or occasionally Romaslavia, for other reasons.

by **Astralsideria** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:21 am

Astralis and Sideris are both words for star (I'm pretty sure). I was into astronomy pretty heavily at the time. It seems a good enough name.

by **Atlanza** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:23 am

i wanted something cool, but not weird(like with numbers or random letters in it). i couldnt think of anything, but then, i saw an ad for some game about atlantis. huge letters ATLANTIS. so i came up wityh atlanza. happy? i know its stupid, but ya. :palm:

by **Tlamatini** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:26 am

It means "Wise Man" in Nahuatl, thought it was nice.

Search it on google. :lol:

by **San Martin Caballero** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:43 am

San Martin Caballero
Saint Martin the Horseman
aka Saint Martin of Tours
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_of_Tours
He's the patron saint of cavalrymen and businessmen, and when I wanted to make a hawkish, pro-business, devoutly Catholic nation, a little bit of research, and eureka, San Martin Caballero.
Plus, it's doubly cool because it sounds like a flyweight or lightweight boxer's name, and that's also kind of what I imagine the national image of San Martin Caballero as being.

by **Schwabenreich** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:49 am

I guess I had Österreich (Austria) in my head. I was thinking of a Prussian name, and all the variants for Prussian and Preußen I could think of were taken (whether using english or deutsch spelling), so I used the swabians instead and came up with Schwabenreich.
