NationStates Jolt Archive

It has come to my attention that 'Federal Republic' is not available in the list of nation titles. Why is this? Its a very common one...:tantrum:

There is a topic somewhere about national prefixes as a lot of suggestions were made. I'm not sure where that topic went, though.

--The Democratic States of Cogitation

I want it too :) Just be patient. I asked violet, and s/he said "eventually."

They can up with Theocratic they should have Federal Republic I have never thought about it before

Im still waitin for the Amusement Park of
and the Peoples Glorius Revolutionary Republic of
and perhaps the return of the Free comunity of

How about:

Democratic People's Republic of...
Former Soviet Republic of...
Conservative Republc of...
Democratic State of...
Union of...
United Republic of...

The Paupocracy of...
The Papal State of...

And one I'd really have expected to be in there:

The United Kingdom of...

Waiting for Crusader State

They got rid of Free Republic :cry: ...if I accidently change mine I'll never get it again. Readd Free Republic please.

Really, we lost Free Republic?

A feature I want to add is to allow nations with 500+ million to choose their own nation type -- i.e. enter whatever they like.

Keep reminding me to do this. ;)

*shakes [violet] by the shoulders*

Great idea! Do it, do it, do it!

I wanna be The United Kingdom of Sirocco.

reminded :P

Heh heh heh... *has his custom name already*

hey [violet], dont forget to add the ability for nations with 500 million + citizens to change their nation type.

just a reminder
:D

I want to be "The Apple Campus at 1 Infinite Loop"

lol,

Will Moderators enforce the nation types so they stay ((For the most part.)) realistic? I'm not looking forward to people being called "Amusement Parks" and such...

Thank You!! I can think of some other less savory types as well. As much as I think this is a good idea here, the can of worms spilled by something like this could cause more problems than its worth

Millions of roses for you if you don't forget about it ;)

That's a good idea, [violet]. I'd like that. I could finally be the Dark Republic of Kandarin officially instead of just calling myself that in RPs.

Just a reminder for violet. I add some millions roses. You know you can't resist.

They seriously ditched Free Republic? That sucks.

<b>neither is "Seperatist Nation" or 'States" or 'Peoples" or anything like that!</b>

They seriously ditched Free Republic? That sucks.
Yea, I was a Free Republic, and I changed it to Democratic Republic on a whim one day... and couldn't change it back >_<

Whatever we like.

Violet, I add 3 thousand bottles of champagne if you keep this custom title idea in mind and 3 more if you actually implement it. ;)

Yes, that would be excellent!
But, should it not happen... if we have Disputed Territories, I would ask for Democratic Territories.

hey [violet], just a reminder, customizablke nation titles,

personally I think so long as someone doesnt make blatantly offenive types, which could be filtered out with a ilter script on the entry box, for example I ould rather see the amusement park of, as compared to something like, the nazi states of, or the Porno kingdome of, however I also think rain is wet.

I'd much rather see "The Nazi States Of" than "The Amusement Park Of". This is a political game, not Roller Coaster Tycoon, and I think the names should be confined to politics related names, only.

well, Violet said anything so therefore, amusement parks and nazi states will both most likely exist

Reminder.

This is a political game

It is? I thought it was mainly a war game, with hints of politics, sports, chat, etc.

It is? I thought it was mainly a war game, with hints of politics, sports, chat, etc.

Is it a serious political thing, or just for fun?
Well, you can play it either way. NationStates does have humorous bent, but that's just because international politics is so inherently funny.

While it doesn't have to be a political game, they never even mention wars in the FAQ.

((Except when talking about NationStates 2, but that's something completely different.))

I really should get around to reading that. Also maybe someone should update it :)

To me, wars appear to be a pass-time some kids invented when they discovered the forums... ok, a bit harsh, but if there are good war RPs actually, they are also, and sadly, quite rare.

ok, here are a few more sugested nation prefixes:

Parlimentary Democracy
Representative Democracy
Federal Democratic Republic
Unitary Republic
Theocratic Republic
Constitutional Republic
Plutocratic Republic
Overseas Territory
Crown Colony
Province
Military Junta
Military Regime
Shogunate (actually saw a nation with this prefix)

that's all for right now. might come up with others later.

I'm quite partial to:

Democratic and Popular Republic
Reformist State
Directatorship
Oligarchy
Naval State
H4X0R413
Conglomerate
Model Nation
Dictator's Playground
Debtor's Haven
Heavenly State
Hellish State
Purgatoriate
Depression

H4X0R413

:o

Just an idea, and I doubted they'd use it, but

The War Torn nation of @@NAME@@
or the Environmental Foundation Nation of @@NAME@@
or even Ununified Republic, State, States, Nation of @@NAME@@ :twisted:

I suggest "The Zionist States of" for the Jews. If y'all wont givem that they'll spread the news that you're an antisemite as they do everywhere :roll:

some more:

Caliphate
Diocese
Archdiocese
Bishopric
Holy See
Suzerainty
Archduchy
Chiefdom
Tribe
Federated Tribes
Jamahiriya
Totalitarian State
Separate Customs Territory
Sovereign Military Order

What's a Caliphate?

We need 'The Crater of...' as well!

I think 'The Smoking Crater of' sounds better! :P

"The Lake of" :lol:

I think 'The Smoking Crater of' sounds better! :P

How about 'The Glassed Lands of.....'

What's a Caliphate?

Caliphate:
NOUN: The office or jurisdiction of a caliph. The last caliphate was held by Ottoman Turkish sultans until it was abolished by Kemal Atatürk in 1924.

And, just to stop the next question before it's asked,

Caliph:
NOUN: A leader of an Islamic polity, regarded as a successor of Muhammad and by tradition always male.

In RL, here's all the ones I could find:

Arab Republic
Bailiwick
Commonwealth
Co-operative Republic
Democratic People's Republic
Democratic Republic
Democratic Socialist Republic
Department
Federal Democratic Republic
Federal Republic
Federated States
Federation
Federative Republic
Grand Duchy

Independent State

I'll send harrasing emails about it

I sent one
subject: Reminder:

I know that you used to be able to make your own title as evidences by "The Tourist Trapdom of The SLAGlands" Marathon used to have a unique one too. I wonder why they ditched that option. :?

What's a Caliphate?
The kingdom ruled by the religious leader of all (or in these days a sect of) Islam.

There used to be papal states... what's a bailiwick?
If I recall correctly it was an Irish division, sort of like a Thanedom on Scotland.

I know that from reading "Shadow Puppets" A sequel to Ender's Shadow

about the Caliph that is

Smart... I'm sure that the Western Sahara must be disputed territories... Morocco have been fighting some other country for it for years...

Smart... I'm sure that the Western Sahara must be disputed territories... Morocco have been fighting some other country for it for years...
Morrocco has been fighting the few thousand desert nomads who live in the WS for control.

That'll be why I couldn't remember it's name! :lol:

So is Western Sahara disputed territories? Has there ever been a borderland? Or jingoistic states?

Hmm. . .
Lets see.
I think that occupied territories would be better if possible.

I also think that we should have an "Oppressed Nation".

Hmm. . .
What else?

People's Democratic Republic(The Congo)
Khanate
Oblast
Atonomus Rebublic*
Annexed Nation*
Incorparated Republic*
Libertarian Republic*
Socialist Republic*
United Communes*
United Soviet Republics*
Oppresive Empire*
Vassal State
Tributary Region
Rebellious Province*
March
Eylet
*denotes title I invented partially or wholly.

'K I'm shot.

Edit: And what better for my thousandth post?

Hmm... how about United Corporations too, for all the moneyspinners?

Vassal State... no idea what that is... or a March... by eyelet, do you mean islet?

What I really want, is to be called The United Kingdom of Sirocco. Please put me out of my misery [violet]!

How about "The Plutocracy of" or "The Associated States of"?

Ooh, those are good. What are 'associated states'?

"Associated States" would be a midway point (centralizationally speaking) between a federation and a confederation. I.e., they have an association with each other.

I don't really know, I made it up.

"I just make them up, see!" -Isaac Asimov

Ooh! Ooh! I've got a good one!

The country of

An Eylet was an Ottoman province, the most famous of which were the defacto independent Barbary States.

Coo... what governs an eylet then? (Kings for Kingdoms blah blah blah)

An eye perhaps?

*shrugs and walks away*

How about "The Plutocracy of" or "The Associated States of"?

Marathon had "The Oppressed Jjaroian Plutocracy of Marathon". I dunno what a Jjaro is.

I recalll it being "The Oppressed Jjaroian Theocracy of Marathon."

Coo... what governs an eylet then? (Kings for Kingdoms blah blah blah)
No clue.

I recalll it being "The Oppressed Jjaroian Theocracy of Marathon."

Strange... I remember it being plutocracy as well.

As I said I think that it was a customized one. That is the part that really matters.

Violet, just a reminder - do the thing you mentioned earlier ni this thread.

The Shogunate of Catholic Asia
The Seaside Kingdom of Catholic Asia
The Ancient Civilization of Catholic Asia
The Capitalizt Dominion of Catholic Asia
The Max Barry Democracy of Catholic Asia
The Modocracy of Scolopendra.

The kakistocracy of.....

Yeha that 500 million + thing sounds great:

The Consitutional Sultanate of Kahtan

has someone already mentioned "the archipel of..."

http://phrontistery.50megs.com/govern.html


The kakistocracy of.....

Sounds like a Douglas Adams idea to me! :wink:

Just reminding Administrator [violet] to do that thing!

Every government type on that list should be added. It would be excellent.

phallocracy

isn't that a wee bit.........suggestive?

After reading through this, this is a good idea. Of course some limitations should be expected, as with nation's names. I'm still more partial to Grand Duchy of ...

Please, [violet], if you haven't already, just do it, please!
