Brazilia Leader and faction info

[iRule]

Not to mention "Brasilia" is not "just" the name of the capital city - it's a name that is closely related linguistically to Brazil (and in fact similar to the name Brazil is called in many languages - for example in Polish the country is called "Brazylia").

I can't think of another country that has a situation like this (i.e. where the capital is named "artificially" with a name closely connected to the name of the country), so this is not as if England was called London or France was called Paris.

More importantly, Brasilia is the name of Brazil in Latin - which fits this militaristic (neo-chivalric?) empire. To me, "Brasilia" in CivBE is a clever attempt to create a word for an "empire" that is centered around an existing country but is more than that (same was - and of course I am aware this is not a perfect analogy, as CK2 is a historical game - in CK2 an empire centered on France is called Francia and an empire centered on England/Britain is called Brittannia).

If Germans renamed their capital to "Germania", would people also complain if the word "Germania" was used to refer to the entire country too?

It took a Polish to say what no Brazilian or Portuguese around here has noticed before:

Check any Portuguese map of Brazil (I'm thinking of Cantilho's) labeled in Latin: Brazil is "Brasilia".

Besides, as we all know, Brasilia is a recent city - Rio was the capital since the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil to less than 60 years ago. Brasilia originally meant something else - Brazil itself, in Latin.

I think the whole "Imperial" symbolism makes sense - lets give new, expanded Brazil a latinesque name. When someone tries to romanticize Portugal and the Portuguese empire, what do they also call it? Lusitania. It isn't far off.

When you read Rejinaldo's words, you also note some utopia of his...

Guess how you could conjugate Brasil and Utopia? Right.
