In DG1, we were Phoenatica. In DG2, we were called Fanatikans. DG3 saw the rise of Fanaticans. DG4 again witnessed Fanaticans, while most recently we were Japanaticans.

We're still several days away from finally picking our Civ, but this is a subject we can start discussion ahead of time, though it's looking like we may be Ottomans.

So, this is just a thread were we can throw around some ideas, given a hypothetical civ. Propose away!

Well, it looks like a strong showing for the Ottomans, but anything could happen. (Looks like Babylon might be a 2nd choice for the runoff, and possibly the Iroquois and India). I don't have any ideas right now though.

...

Otticans?
Fanotticans?

Otters? :p

The-English-Wannabes :P

How about something actually ottoman?

I have no clue what that may be, but how about it

We should have Random in the runoffs as an option.

Random was excluded, so we will see Civ3 versus PTW/C3C vs Random.

Ah, great scott!
The English are making a comeback in the Vanilla polls!

The Flying Circuses, anyone?

Well, the Ottomans referred to their capital city as the "Sublime Porte". Perhaps we could be the "Sublimicans"?

Hm, that doesn't sound as cool as I thought it would... I'll get back to you.

Hmmmm....

Let me think....

Siphaicnas
Ottomannequins :D

Those sound good? I like Ottomannequins..:D :scan: Okay it may sound dumb but I am weird..:D


And I think we should call the president, Sultan. Hey just an idea. That's if we choose the Ottomans.

Memalik-i

It has an Ottoman orgin, and it is differant from the previous 5 we've used (which always had a -ca or -can at the end). Don't ask me how to pronounce it though... it's one hell of a tounge twister.

We can call ourselves the Mahruse, in turn.

Phoenixacans?
ShadowPhoenixikanaturala!

Our nationa should be Fanatistan, and us Fanatisians.

If we go with the english, a name should be simple enough to produce, but if we do go with the english, let's also give ourselves a "title."

The Grand Duchy of ???
The United Kingdom of ???
The People of ???
The Consulate of ???

Our nationa should be Fanatistan, and us Fanatisians.

ooh, I like it. My vote's for "Fanatistan" so far. Of course, this is assuming we play as the Ottomans. But, that looks pretty likely at this point.

Ottoman bids : Ottomania, Fanaturkia, Ottomatica
Caliphate For Conquerors, Abstainistan

England bids: Fanatic Kingdom

Babyon bids: Abu Ghraib, Babelonia, Mustachistan

For Babylon, like the Daily Show's: Mess O'Potamia

In the previous games, the countrys' names have all ended with "...aticans." Maybe we should change that. I'm reminded of something from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

We are no longer the knights who go Ni!. We are now the knights who say ecky-ecky-ecky-POOTANG! -zoopboing-gwzowden!

So how about becoming the Ecky-Ecky-Ecky-POOTANG!-Zoopboing-Gwzowdenians?

I second Mess O'Potamia (if its the Babs)
and YNCS, thats a bit long

Okay, drop one of the "Eckys."

The Turkintinians?
The Turkicans?
Islamia?

Ottomica? -> Ottomans
Fanalonia? -> Babylonia
Fanatica United (FU)? -> England

Ottomica? -> Ottomans
Fanalonia? -> Babylonia
Fanatica United (FU)? -> England

I don't think the last one (initials) would work out too well. ;)

My top choices so far:

1. Fanatistan (Ottoman)
2. Ottomania (Ottoman)
3. Fanalonia (Babylon)

My favorites so far are Fanatistan and Ottomania, in that order.

Ottomania sound good to me :) . It sound like a old techno name like metropolice or something. :goodjob:




-Ratatomik :king:

What about the Furks. or for england the Fanatish

What about the Furks.
Hmmm...Thats dangerously close to something else.

I like Fanatistan.

I like Ottomania. That would make us the Ottomaniacs.

If were the Ottomaniacs, can we have a theme song to go with it?

But, then again, look forewards to a full offensive from yours truly if the English pass the Vanilla test (as the English actually have one of the new features (seafaring))

SaaM

If we play England, then we have to be Perfidious Albion. Plus we must live up to our name.

Since the strong vote for Ottomans, I also suppose that our nation be called Ottomania and the citzens called Ottomaniacs.

If we play England, then we have to be Perfidious Albion. Plus we must live up to our name.

I had to Google it, but it sounds like a plan --- at least in the early game. :D


England is known to some as perfidious Albion, implying that it is not trustworthy in its dealings with foreigners.

We have to do a re - run of the dutch...

they're quick to advance and produce alot of currency so it should be productive for a group name.?

Neederlanders?
Kings of Orange?
Williams?

:confused: any ideas?

Cloggia, The Fast Paced Nation?
Dikeland, the Liberal Dam?
Tulipia, the Flower Power?
Euthanasia ?

Also be sure to sign up as a citizen, RuleTheWaves, in the citizen registry.

Also, the Dutch have no chance of coming back against the Ottoman. Shame, though. I'd have thought we'd have wanted to try a civ with new traits on it for our first C3C game.

The following is a shameless plug for the English

But wait! We can! The English have been changed to Com/Sea. Sea is new! Instead of sticking to a Ind/Sci civ (which, if you recall, we did already with Persia), we can use the new Seafaring ability. Come on, everybody! Doff your monicle and stiffen your upper lip. Lets be the English!

The proceding was a shameless plug for the English

Yes, I want a naval game, go England. Anyways, we got Random as runner up.

Just a few random thoughts, aided by my good friend Roget.

Transformers
Transmutatorians
Illuminati
Hexicans
Hexiums

Euthanasia

lol, :lol: if we go dutch we could call our nation Epithemia, and we could be Empithemus's

Britain:
Angleterria
Brittania
The Fanatish

Hehe Nobody, I liked that smoker joke. Oh I hate drugs.

Anglomania
Anglonia
Fanatannia
Fanassex (Essex, Sussex)
Fanatashire
Uncommonwealth
Fanatalbion
United Fanatingdom
Fanaticania
Thingland


Spotland (Scotland)
Whales (Wales)
Ironland (Ireland)

Fanassex! Do Fanassex!

This has been a 6 year old SaaM posting.

I like the Uncommonwealth, though... seems fitting.

Angolensia?
Saxanatic?
Angaxsia?
Engolisia?
Fenangsia?
Fanatica protectorate? (not to forget dear oliver)

Simply, the Fanatic Kingdom? Or, Fanaticca United?

Fanassex! Do Fanassex!


I know it's a British ending, but I'm not so crazy about the phonetics of the name. (i.e., say it really fast -- or, syllable by syllable slowly). It almost sounds like something dirty, so I think that name should be left out.

(if you don't know... It looks like 'fan' 'a'....)

The Uncommonwealth sounds like us.

Look @ the second line, CT.
I knew that when I posted it. Look @ provos suggestion in the presidential thread for the capitol name... I know we cant make this game run around a sex joke (but we can try!)

SaaM

Who still likes The Uncommonwealth

In fact, I am tempted to promote the following three names

Fanassex
Fanatannia
Uncommonwealth

Fanatannia, i like it, for short Fanatain, and the people Fanatish. Also instead of Poms (prisoners of her majesty) we could be Pos (prisoners of Sid)

How about Fanchester

(although I did like Ecky-Ecky-Ecky-POOTANG!-Zoopboing-Gwzowdenians. We are the Eckymaniacs in the Kingdom of Ecky-Ecky-Ecky-POOTANG!)

Fanchester could be a city, but Fanatannia for a nation.

How about Fanshire?

Chieftess, Don't make me Fanatasize , err fantasize about you spelling Fan-ass-sex slow or Fanassex fast LOL :D

Chieftess, Don't make me Fanatasize , err fantasize about you spelling Fan-ass-sex slow or Fanassex fast LOL :D

I was thinking of the word "of" in the 2nd syllable. Anyway, such a name would be against the forum rules.

Here's some almost direct plagery (a la United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)-

The United Kingdom of Great Fanatica

Octavian, you should consider to wrap up the poll soon and poll nation name options before creation day. We are quire certain England wins.

I still like Fanatistan and Ottomania best. :( ;)

I don't like Uncommonwealth. Not really a name for a country.

keeping it closer to England gives:

Civland
Fanland
Civfanland

this shouldnt be a major debate...

this shouldnt be a major debate...

.......but it always is. ;)

Here's some other names:

Uncommonwealth of Fanatica
Fanatania (may have been said....)
Copeland

I like Fannatania

I agree with Donovan, the Ottoman names were much better than what I've seen of the possible British names. oh well. I'll cast my vote for Fanatannia, since it looks like we'll be English afterall.

Seems like Fanatannia and Uncommonwealth are in the lead here.

"Its Royal Majesty of the Uncommonwealth"

non gender biased, odd, and English.

I like it!

Right now its alost certain that we will be england, so we should forget the Ottoman names

Fanaticland? Then we'd be the Fanaticlish people. Doesn't end in "ics".

.......but it always is. ;)

Here's some other names:

Uncommonwealth of Fanatica
Fanatania (may have been said....)
Copeland
True, but it dosent need to be.

Well, the name is sorta important. The name of our nation is one of the most important choices we make for the start of the game. There's nothing wrong with giving the name its due consideration.

This is going to need to be wrapped up as soon as possible, since we cannot run Creation Day without the information.

I suggest going through an official name nomination and seconding process. For a name to be considered it must have a minimum of three people supporting it (submitter and two seconds). After 2 days, a poll is created using the names which got at least 3 mentions in the nomination thread. If WOTP as measured by times a name is mentioned in the thread shows a clear gap between a few (less than 5 names) with a lot more (at least twice as many) mentions as the rest of the field, then the poll will contain only those names which are above the "gap".

If there is no serious opposition to this plan, let's open the official name nomination thread at 4pm forum time or earlier. I may not be home then, anyone can open it. We can go ahead and risk an assumption that England is our chosen civ.

So a poll eh :hmm: well i guess Fanatania is already an option since three people supported it,

I think our organization system is more important.

So a poll eh :hmm: well i guess Fanatania is already an option since three people supported it,

Make that a 4th. ;) It's the best one I've seen so far.

Fanatania is the name I would pick.

I guess if we have a poll it is only Fanatania and Uncommonwealth that have been supported.

Here's what the names would be (name and title could change) if we're Fanatania

Name: Citizens
Formal: Fanatania
Noun: Fanatanians
Adjective: Fanatanian
Title: The Great

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads9/ct_DG_nametest.jpg(yes, I made some typos, I know, but let's hope we don't get a start like that. That test started on the cattle to the north).

Hey, some of us really meant Fanatannia (Fanatania could be any Fanatannia is like Britannia )

I say Fanatish instead of Fanatannians. Britannia to British, Fanatannia to Fanatish

Maybe for the noun have Fanatains? and adjective Fanatish?

Since there is no more movement on this, I'll take a risk on polling support for the option that Chiefess posted, primarily because its the one which puts everything together. Gotta poll something if we're ever going to get started.

Do you accept the country name and titles as listed in the first post?
Yes
No (please list the changes you would like to see)
Abstain

Name: Citizens
Formal: Fanatannia
Noun: Fanatannians
Adjective: Fanatanian
Title: The Great

Looks good, DS.

wat about Cengizicans eh eh its based on a ottoman word meaning master/ lordship

We are the English but I don't really care about the orgin of the word. I just want to play the game. Fanatannia is good.
