Fanashire
Fannsylvania (lot of forests)
Fanalonia (lot of plains)
Fannian Highlands (Hills and Mountains)

Black_Hole Feb 27, 2005, 07:45 PM why not 'Abstainia'?
Noldodan Feb 27, 2005, 07:47 PM why not 'Abstainia'?
Didn't we have that as an idea last game?
And I highly suggest Middle-Earth as a name. Then again, I'm a tad fanboy-ish, and more than a little biased, so...

actually it came about because when Zarn made a poll about the province name, abstain won... so some people took that as the province name :lol:
YNCS Feb 27, 2005, 09:10 PM Fanashire doesn't commit us to anything. A simple, generic province name which is usable under all circumstances.

Does the capital name come into play in deciding what to name the 1st province? For example, what would be good names to complement a capital name of Camelot?
Provolution Feb 27, 2005, 11:33 PM I think that would be Pendragon, the realm of King Arthur, or we could Americanize it to Pentagon, or DG6 it to Hexadragon, Hexagon.
Uther Pendragon was the father of King Arthur.
Cornwall, Lyonesse, Lionland, Avalonia (reference Avalon)
Sarevok Feb 28, 2005, 12:49 AM give a good name that means alot. Something to distinguish the province as our original land and our capital district.
Furiey Feb 28, 2005, 02:00 AM Taking Provo's Pendragon idea, and as the name of the county (the province here) is usually (when it's a shire, but not always) the name of the county town (the capitol of the county) eg: Cambridge & Cambridgeshire, Oxford & Oxfordshire, Bedford & Bedfordshire, how about:
Capitol: Pendragon
Province Pendragonshire
Camelot wouldn't really work well in this manner - Camelotshire doesn't really roll off the tongue.
Provolution Feb 28, 2005, 02:16 AM Camelot and Pendragonia?
ali Feb 28, 2005, 02:22 AM well if we are to play the ottoman turkish civilization I suggest we use the name Cengiz...pronounced Jengas...meaning in Turkish..powerful lordship
Provolution Feb 28, 2005, 02:26 AM 10 Camelot varieties
Desert - Camelonia
Mountains- Camelottians
Forest -Camelovania
fields- Camelotannia
Camelossex
Camelotshire
Cameleonia
Cameo
Came Alot
Cameroon
Provolution Feb 28, 2005, 02:28 AM Ali , another Turkic word, diplomatik dokunolmaclik.
ali Feb 28, 2005, 03:35 AM ooohh aahh how about Saritas?
Ashburnham Feb 28, 2005, 08:46 AM I'd say we keep it simple and go with "Fanashire". I don't think we need to worry about having the capital city and province name match. No one seemed to have a problem last game when our capital province was named after a guy who doesn't seem to be on the forums anymore.
Keep it simple. Keep it understandable. Make it Fanashire.
RegentMan Feb 28, 2005, 08:56 AM Keep it simple. Keep it understandable. Make it Fanashire.
I concur with Ashburnham here. Fanashire is a nice name.
Donovan Zoi Feb 28, 2005, 08:57 AM What about Copeland Province? It goes somewhat with Camelot, and sounds pretty British to me. :D
I must admit I am getting somewhat bored with the perennial "Fan-as-prefix" default option. Can we be a bit more inspired?
Provolution Feb 28, 2005, 12:54 PM DZ: Copeland, your family name ? :D

Let's see, Apathetica was last game, how about .....
Chaosian!
Just kidding - good suggestions thus far!

YNCS Feb 28, 2005, 03:53 PM Apatheticshire, the home province of the Peoples' Democratic Republic of Whatever.

Donovan Zoi Feb 28, 2005, 04:57 PM DZ: Copeland, your family name ? :D
No, just an homage my favorite drummer (Stewart Copeland), as well a nod to the British musician Julian Cope. Ironically, Stewart was the only American member of the Police, but it still sounds British enough to me. ;)
Still, a good solid province name so I will leave it as my choice.
Ginger_Ale Mar 04, 2005, 06:15 AM 2 polls are now up!

Don't forget the American classical composer Aaron Copeland.
