Suggestions for Dynamic Names

[FlyingOnion]

Of course, but were Britain to become a republic tomorrow, im pretty sure they wouldnt rename the country the Commonwealth of England.

 

[Hippo8085]

United Republic of Great Britain. If in republic and not communism, industrial era.

Government civics show where the power comes from. Therefore the above situation is just like today. Power in Britain does not come from the hereditary monarchy.

Republic, not communism in:
Renaissance: Commonwealth of England
Industrial: United Republic of Great Britain
Modern: United Kingdom of Great Britain

Dynasticism in:
Renaissance: Kingdom of England
Industrial: United Kingdom of Great Britain. If more than 5 cities, British Empire.
Modern: Kingdom of Great (All?) Britain (no "united" to show consolidated rule, tough as no European countries run the true dynasticism civic modern)

Republic, not communism in:
Industrial: United Republic of Great Britain
Modern: United Kingdom of Great Britain

The modern british state is not a republic. The power may well come from mostly elected officials, but the head of state is still the monarch.

Dynasticism + Representation would best reflect any modern European monarchies.

For a modern British republic name, I would suggest your Industrial era name.

 

[Hippo8085]

Power is the government. Figurehead celebrities will be figurehead celebrities.

Sorry if I offend anybody with that statement. I believe it must be said.

What would be better, if possible, is if changing from Dynasticism + Representation into Republic results in the kingdom dynamic name.

Representation is not Universal Sufferage. Representative societies can have only 7% of the male population voting.

 

[FlyingOnion]

Whether the Monarch is merely a celebrity figurehead is irrelevent. Constitutionally the monarch is the head of state of the country.

Dynasticism + Universal Sufferage for the current state then. I got my Civics mixed up.

For Ethiopia or Egypt.

Capital at Dongola: Kingdom of Makuria

 

[alpav]

Muslim Tamils: Bahmanid Sultanate
India with capital in souther India: Kingdom of Vijayanagar
If the vikings become protestant, they shouldn't automatically become the Kingdom of Sweden if the capital is outside of Sweden. If Vikings own the whole of Scandinavia it should be the Kalmar Union and stay the Kalmar Union.

 

[Hippo8085]

Can't assign names by area controlled. What number of cities would you like?

 

[SouthernKing]

Muslim Tamils: Bahmanid Sultanate

The Bahamanis were Persian-Turkic kings who ruled land that is currently Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh at its height. None of those are Tamil, nor did the Bahamanis have any presence whatsoever in Tamil Nadu.
Although, I haven't played the SVN, so I don't know that much of the Tamils' spawn etc. in game.

 

[Hippo8085]

Tamils almost never get Islam unless the player spreads it to them.

 

[alpav]

Can't assign names by area controlled. What number of cities would you like?

What do you mean?

 

[Hippo8085]

It can't be where, say, if Poland controls Lithuania, then it is the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth.
Only number of cities, civics, and vassals can determine a Dynamic name.

 

[Leoreth]

Location of capital can too. It's just that I can't check every city for every player to see if they occupy the right regions.

 

[alpav]

Oh ok. But for the Tamils, The Mamluks are completely different culturally than the Egyptians. The Mamluks are descended from Zengids which have nothing to do with the old Egypt. Using this logic means that there should be no problem representing the Bahmanids with Tamils. for Kalmar union >= 5 should be enough.

 

[alpav]

Also HRE should not be called the Duchy of Hannover now that Prussia is implemeted. It should be transferred to Prussia.

 

[Acmeandco]

Only number of cities, civics, and vassals can determine a Dynamic name.

There are many more factors that can define dynamic names:

Whether X civilization is active (example: France is the Frankish Empire until HRE appears)

Technology (example: Kingdom of Castille becomes Kingdom of Spain w/ Optics)

Current Era (I believe India is an example of this)

Number of revolutions (example: China's current dynasty depends on this, like Song, Qing, etc.)

State Religion (example: many civs such as spain and egypt have specific names if they're Islamic)

Capital Locations: (example: Kingdom of Sweden vs Kingdom of Denmark etc. for Vikings)

 

[Daedwartin]

Rather than 'Commonwealth of England' for a Republican England, how about just call then 'Republic of Great Britain'?

Going from 'Kingdom of Great Britain' to Commonwealth of England is historically going backwards anyways. And historicaly the Commonwealth of England was less a republic and more a military dictatorship under Cromwell and his son.

I just want to throw this in.

There is precedence for a state to be both a republic and a monarchy: Andorra and its Co-Princes. The Bishop of Urgell and the Head of State of France are the monarchy. Granted, it was established in it's current form during the reign of Henry IV of France (Fittingly enough, he was also beforehand King of Navarre. They preceded France in this role. Before them was...France. ), but the system remained in effect til today. What makes it a republic is that, well, the head of state in modern France is the French President. Granted, they follow a parliamentary system today, which can be disbanded if the Co-princes decide to.

 

[phoenix_sprite]

You should add Algiers and Tunis to the repertoire of most European civs.

 

[Leoreth]

I don't think Andorra can be considered a republic. It's a principality in its official name.

 

[SirPainsalot]

Might sound a bit lame but how about
Byzantine with Rome captured: Reformed Roman Empire or maybe New Roman Empire? You catch my drift. I find Empire of Nicaea doesn't fit as well after you expand a lot. If the Byzantines controlled Rome again, I'm pretty sure they would call themselves Roman again anyway since they found the glory again.
