Gunnar is a Swedish name which my nation is largely inspired on. I just came up with the last name.


Örsun is swedish for "O sun" (like "O! The Sun is so bright")


Really? I did not know that. Never heard of that word before, is it old Swedish or modern Swedish?

What is your leaders name? His Imperial Majesty, Dimitri Borischenko I, Emperor of Tierra Prime

Is there a special meaning behind it? Yes, 'Dimitri' is Gothic for Imperial, while 'Borischenko' is Gothic for ruler. Together it means Imperial ruler, Emperor essentially.

The Grand World Order wrote:Griffith Victor's real name is GRIFFITH-II, which means he's the second Grand Commander produced by the GRIFFITH Genome Orders. However, GRIFFITH-II is a secret name.

The surname "Victor" was given to him after his regime's countless strategic victories, ranging from the near-annihilation of the Liberty Confederation to the successful invasions plus assimilations of literally dozens of overseas countries. Before he was "Victor," he was simply Griffith the Third.

As for the name Griffith, Griffith is the traditional name of the Grand Commanders. Coincidentally, Griffith means "Strong Leader."

I think you're supposed to elaborate OOCly why they're named that, that's what I did anyway.

Oh.

Well, I don't know why I named that. I just scrambled some names together that came to my mind. Nothing of value, just at random.

Her Majesty's full name is Tove Aleksandra Kristina Elisabet. Those are all names that have been used by her ancestors. She belongs to the House of Bertelskiöld. That was the surname of King Gustaf V, the first king of modern Udema, previously General Count Gustaf Bertelskiöld.

Tove may or may not be my real first name, I'm not admitting anything. But all four are names that I like and that are pretty common around here. The surname Bertelskiöld comes from Fältskärns berättelser, a 19th Century Finnish novel that chronicled the adventures of the (fictitious) noble house of Bertelskiöld from its rise in the Thirty Years War to the early 19th Century.

What are your leaders names? Supreme Chancellor Nicolae Bolshoy Medved, Vice-Chancellor Binh Minh Tran.

Is there a special meaning behind them? Nicolae means 'Victorius People' in Romanian, Bolshoy means 'Great' or 'Grand' in Russian, Medved is the Slavic term for 'Bear', literally translating into "one who knows honey".

Binh means 'Peace, peaceful' in Vietnamese, Minh means 'Intelligent, clever, bright' in Vietnamese, Tran means 'Brazen-faced' in Vietnamese.

OOC: I have decided against my change to RP H-Alba as a socialist state. I have instead returned it to a Kingdom after a brief "civil war".

His Majesty Benjamin's full name is Benjamin Jasper Louis Michael William of Àird Ghaoithe. I chose Benjamin Jasper because my boyfriends name is Jasper Benjamin, I chose the name Louis Michael William because of my friend who passed away a few years ago, and the name Àird Ghaoithe is the town I am from (in Scottish Gaelic).

Leader's name is James P. Crowley. I was just writing a post when my nation first started and wrote James. Then I thought of a last name. I wrote Crowley. Something was missing, so I added the P. And then I looked at the name and was like "HOLY SHIT THAT"S AN AWESOME NAME"
That's mah story.

What is your Leader's Name? Saint Celun Tarus, Spectre Commander and Eternal Prophet Unwei Tarus.

What does this mean?
The Tarus family, in Galnosian-speak means 'Unifier'. This is a reference to the violent history of the unification of Tur Galnos, where Unwei Tarus 2,000 years ago marched up the terraces, uniting all the tribes under the reign of the Stone Throne and its people to fight back and destroy them. After the destruction of the Stone Throne, Unwei revealed his first and last name, Unwei meaning 'Glorious' and Tarus meaning 'Unifier'. Later on, two millenniums and many wives later, Unwei decided to have a child. It was a boy, whom he named Celun, meaning 'Successor'. This is obviously due to the fact he is the second (third if you count the one time there was an insurrection) in the line of rulers of Tur Galnos.
