Friends, we need to finalize a decision on our national identity before the game can be created. Interest in naming died out a couple of days ago, so I present to you without further comment the proposal which got the most interest.

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

Even though this spelling goes against the rules of English pronunciation (double consonant is rarely ever preceded by Long A [AY] ), it is indeed based on the spelling of Britannia. :confused:

So, I'm down wit it and stuff. U numsayin'? :cool:

I don't like the title, nor the name. Unfortunately, I don't know of any alternates. Perhaps we could find something British and put a DG-twist on it? King _______ ?

..........Zoichester? I like it! :D

I didn't see the Citizens part either, but I guess I am neutral on it.

So, it will read The Great Citizens of Fanatannia. That's not so bad.

That's the idea -- Chieftess posted a sample of what it would look like in the discussion thread.

Name: Citizens
Formal: Fanatannia
Noun: Fanatannians
Adjective: Fanatannian (notice the double n)
Title: The Great

Is fine by me. Why would a Fanatannian citizen be a Fanatanian?

Double N Double N please

If our title is "The Great," then won't we have "We Love The The Great" days instead of "We Love The King" days? Or am I just confused?

Don't really care for all of these Fana' names, so I voted no. I would have prefered something historical.
