Why are feeder regions names so bland and generic?

[New Vedan]

The title says it all, I dont mean to offend (much) but seriously despite (generally) being the largest regions in the game and the regions where every new nation is founded the feeders naming system is absolutely terrible. I mean seriously could they not have at least been named after diffrent oceans instead of all of them just being diffrent parts of the Pacific? Is there any stated reason why there names are so boring and forgettable despite there importance to the game? I mean the Sinkers dont have that problem, all of them have good well thought out names with some meaning behind them that lend to there regional identity. In comparison tho it's kinda hard for a outsider to tell what makes one feeder diffrent from the other feeders, and I blame that mostly on there (terrible) names.

You have greatly offended me, good sir/madame.

That's a first. The differences are pretty obvious if you read the WFEs and look into the dispatches. Each of them has their own culture and the name can still be used for a government system. The Pacific has the New Pacific Order, while The East Pacific has the Confederated East Pacific. The names are all similar because the others were given the same name scheme as the first region, The Pacific.

They're not bland and generic, they're echoes of greatness.

So...you're in my Sig. Of course you are.

But is the horse perfect? I think our region has a great name indeed!

Objection! It’s perfectly fine. It’s just basic, and sometimes basic is good.

The original The Pacific feeder region, if I’m not incorrect, was split into 5 due to overpopulation.

Is there any stated reason why there names are so boring and forgettable despite there importance to the game?

I think they’re UCR’s which were just special. IDK.

It’s easy to, I’d think.

and I blame that mostly on there (terrible) names.

Objection! The names are not terrible, and it’s their, not there.

There, I cut up your argument and completely decimated it with opinion and/or fact.

[Kandorith]

Pfff the names are great, you were obviously not destined for nor to recognize greatness!

[Altino]

Like the ghost of Christmas past, echoes of greatness from before our time? :3

Max Barry, our glorious creator, is from Aussie, on the bad side of the Tasman Sea. The first region, the Pacific, was where nations were created. Then other regions came along. Then the Pacific grew too large for the limited servers, so there were over time 4 more Pacific's created, the other 4 you see today. Essentially the name was a neutral one, and was the place irl where the most amount of nations could fit.

I wonder if we’re ever going to see the say where an actual Atlantic GCR gets added

Because Max is terrible in naming things, Jennifer Government, Hack Nike. He even styled himself Maxx once.

Atlantic Pacific

The last thing we need is more GCR's. Plus most of those region names were taken years ago.

Didn't at least one of those others actually start as a UCR but then get "drafted" into this role?

That would be the East Pacific, founded, according to shadowy myth, by Hitler the Great.

I noticed too. If this site grows exponentially however, that may present a need in the future to make another region.

Lol, I’m sorry you’re getting so much negativity, I would say you make a fair point, the regions themselves are more nuanced and so are their concepts (including their own names for their governments) but yes, the names alone are rather bland! Have a great day! God Bless!

[The Blaatschapen]

After cradles of civilizations.

Fertile Crescent, Huaca Prieta, Yellow River, Ghaggar-Hakra and Dave.

[Cameroi]

i was going to ask:"what do they feed, and how and why, what eats them and how does it do so?",
until of course i realized what this thread was referring to.

the "places" where new "nations" are born and formed.

its probably appropriate for them to be named somewhat generically, as personally i'm not too happy about cultural conventions of children being born carrying their parents inherited baggage. if they weren't, well unless anyone chooses to stay in them, its kind of pointless what they are named.

on the other paw of course, i like the idea of colorful.
but why limit to the box of human societies as they origeonated on earth?

or the even smaller box, that began with the european invasion of the western hemisphere?

[Outer Sparta]

What else would they name the feeders besides the usual generic names? The Pacific names work just fine and it never bothered me if they were generic names or not.

[Ros Golden Coast]

I think there pretty perfect. GCR need to be kinda generic because its where every single nation starts, its a bit like a tutorial. Some nations obviously choose to stay, others choose to go their own path and discover and travel around. I also think there not too generic so entail each of the Pacific's has formed their own unique cultures and communities. Its actually pretty perfect imo.
