Unique names for UHV goals

[Steb]

A suggestion for France's first (or possibly third) UHV, since it revolves around Paris: City of Lights.

(I'd use the English phrase, but the French equivalent is Ville Lumière).

 

[BenZL43]

Some of the names suggested are sub-optimal IMO. For example, I don't really like the name given to Indonesia, but I can't suggest a better name yet. Some others civilization could have a more variety in the name...

Great suggestions, but:

* Note: "Sun Never Sets" describes more accurately England's UP

"The Power of 'the Sun Never Sets'" doesn't really work as a name, and "The Power of the Neversetting Sun" or something loses the connection.

Yes.

Perhaps it's better to not use the phrase at all since it was first used to describe the Spanish Empire rather than the British.

 

[need my speed]

'Amsterdamse Beurs', not 'Amsterdam Beurs' (or even 'Amsterdamse Effectenbeurs').

How did we overlook the most obvious one for the Italians:

Mare Nostrum: Control 65% of the Mediterranean by 1930 AD

 

[Leoreth]

No need to suggest that, that's what I would've called the goal anyways

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

No need to suggest that, that's what I would've called the goal anyways

Oh. Yay!

I want to do a little quality control here, Cocaine or any variation thereof is highly inappropriate for Colombia.
First off, the goal is explicit in the time limit of 1950.
The Colombian drug export trade didn't really kick off until the 1960s.
Secondly, it's really just playing off stereotypes at that point and intellectually dishonest given that fact.
With no offense intended, this is just what it is.

In the period prior to to the 1960s, Colombia actually experienced an economic boom fueled by the success of the coffee industry and increasing demand overseas for coffee.
This was the primary catalyst for the modernization of Colombia and helped facilitate a more reliable transportation network in Colombia as well as resulting in increased urbanization.

There was someone who suggested Café y Cocaína (billyleeback), but it's really the latter part that doesn't work, given the context of the goal.
That being said, this is more appropriate for Colombia's third goal in the form of:

Colombia:

Café Auge: Acquire 5000 gold by selling resources by 1950 AD

 

[Leoreth]

Good idea, I was already uneasy with this title for their third goal, so I'm happy that there is a better version that is also more historical.

Japan:
Dai-tō-a: Control or vassalize Korea, China, Philippines, Indochina, Manchuria and Indonesia in 1940 AD

About this one, never since I came to Japan have I heard this expression. Dai-nippon-teikoku several times though, which for me seems better suited than Dai-to-a.

I also like kibo better for the tech goal, as well as Heian-kyo for the culture one (bushido is not specifically related to culture), but these are more personal preferences.

About this one, never since I came to Japan have I heard this expression. Dai-nippon-teikoku several times though, which for me seems better suited than Dai-to-a.

I also like kibo better for the tech goal, as well as Heian-kyo for the culture one (bushido is not specifically related to culture), but these are more personal preferences.

I chose Dai-to-a over Dai Nippon Teikoku because of an important distinction.
Dai Nippon Teikoku refers to the actual nation-state itself and does not properly illustrate the intent of the goal in and of itself.
Imperial Japan, for most of its years, only consisted of Japan proper, Corea, Taiwan, various islands and Manchuria.
Which doesn't fit the description of the goal very well.

Dai-to-a on the other hand, is an expression of the concept of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which is codified in the description of the goal. So while the state is an impermanent thing, this concept helps us to understand the context and intent, and remains useful in perpetuity.

In short, it's whether you want the name of a nation-state, or the name of the driving concept for the goal, which I would lean towards the latter.
A similar comparison would be if we chose between "British Empire" and "The Sun Never Sets".
Also similar would be "50 States of America" as opposed to "Manifest Destiny".

About Kibo, I think Flying Geese Paradigm better tackles the intent of the goal.
As it was a term coined by Japanese scholars themselves, and explicitly references Japan's role as the most advanced East Asian nation.
Kibo only represents an impressive feature of Japanese technology but isn't in and of itself representative of the drive of Japanese ingenuity in anyway by itself.

Colombia:

Café Auge: Acquire 5000 gold by selling resources by 1950 AD

If you want it in Spanish "Auge del Café" is the correct form. If you want any other UHV name in spanish I'll help you translate it.

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

If you want it in Spanish "Auge del Café" is the correct form. If you want any other UHV name in spanish I'll help you translate it.

Oh, thank you very much. I took Spanish in high school, but to be frank, my Spanish is just about as good as Peggy Hill's.

 

[BenZL43]

I think Hakkō ichiu is better. It is a philosophy to expand and conquer East Asia under one roof; and is not a name of any existent state.
