No offense, but I've never heard of some of these choices, Taku, Latte, Beliebers, Emos...
Why does Beliebers appear twice on the list?
It‘s a joke about modern people...
Except for the Taku.
Guandao
Rajah of Minyue and Langkasuka
What are the Taku?
If I had to change my guesses, I would replace two of the Civs with Canada and Georgia. Maybe later, since I'm using my iPad.
Ferocitus

Placeholders: until I decide on the last few.
Beliebers are mostly Canadians who hate Rush and Celine Dion.
Guandao
Rajah of Minyue and Langkasuka
By Rush, do you mean Rush Limbaugh? Or someone Canadian?
He means the Canadian rock band, Rush: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_(band)
Rush. One of the most famous Rock bands in history. And one of the best as well.
Taku are a PNW tribe.
Guandao
Rajah of Minyue and Langkasuka
I'm not a big fan of rock music.
Never heard of the Taku. They're not in my Pacific Northwest book.
I remember reading abou them when I read stuff on the PNW earlier this year.I'm not a big fan of rock music.
Never heard of the Taku. They're not in my Pacific Northwest book.
Quick unreliable google result: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taku_people
Guandao
Rajah of Minyue and Langkasuka
Oh, they're part of the Tlingit, who are in my PNW book. @Ferocitus why not just call the Civ Tlingit? It's the more famous name.
Ferocitus
Deity
They're very old now so, "Let me get my slippers on first" would be a better name.
I chose Taku because (a) that region needs a civ; (b) I'm still not convinced that Canada
is a real chance; (c) they had a leader whose name we know, and (d) I wanted something
more exotic than the "Generokee".
Ferocitus
Deity
It's more famous because it's in your book?
From wiki:
"Not to be confused with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation in British Columbia".
Guandao
Rajah of Minyue and Langkasuka
Were you replying to me? I was suggesting you rename Taku to Tlingit as that's the more famous name for that people.
Well, my book is not simply any book, but the Smithsonian Handbook of North American Indians. I'm sure Canadians would recognize the name Tlingit than Taku, who are a subgroup of the Tlingit. But it's your choice.
When I first saw the name Taku, I thought they were Japanese.
Ferocitus
Deity
Yes, they are a geographic subgroup of the Tlingit.
I found them first, not the Tlingit.
Anyway, the "competition" is to guess the names of the civs.
If the Taku are chosen (1 in a zillion chance) then I'll be the only
one, and people will whistle and cheer because of my extra-ordinary
perspicacity and charm.
