Quite a simple question, how did you get your name? I got mine from reading a book about necrons and there was a planet called Kelhsan, so i used it, what about the rest of you guys?

I got it from the film Dead Babies (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218138/)

Necrons, eh? I play 40k, how ya doin' :D

I got mine from the most badass villain ever, Sephiroth. Unfortunately, I had to stick the adjective on the beginning, because plain old Sephiroth was already taken.

I was making a nation after a friend told me about this game, and i couoldn't think of a name, so i asked this girl on msn what i should call it and she came up with a list of differant names, but i though Glupeyloo was the best.

lol, i never use that forum.

Mine relates to my surname, which I'm not saying because I just know that you all want to track me down and proclaim your love for me. I will tell you that in RL I was named after the "What Katy Did" books, though.

!?!

I thought I'd explained quite well. My nation relates to my surname in RL. My first name in RL was taken from the "What Katy Did" books.

It's latin.

Insula=Island
Augustus=Holy

You did, i said !?! because of the "you will all track me down and love me" thing you said. And cool name Insula Augustus

I sat there thinking "hmm whats a good country name?" and after about 5 minutes, I decided this one will do.

Oh ok then. Well, you know it's true.

Kanabia, lol! And i have no idea who you are Squelchonia, you could be some 40 year old peedy for all i know, not implying that you are mind you!

I found this site through a link, created a nation on a whim and then stared at the screen for what seemed like days. Since I wasn't sure I'd ever visit the site again and just wanted to get in and see what it was all about I bailed and expressed my lack of imagination. I started posting and never got around to getting my puppets in here. (they died eventually, right before the new issues started, dammit...) I don't really know why I didn't start using them, it's not like I have a recognizable personality on here that I needed to preserve. I think maybe one other person recognizes me here.

i just made it up, i real pissed at my self, I had a ntion back in 02 and i got deleted for inactivity, hell who knows what i owuld have been........

I named myself after an irish fertility goddess. Not for any special reason, I just liked the idea that these women were found carved on churches, a sort of hidden rebellion, a little feminist icon.

The real spelling in gaelic would be more like "sile na gig", but then, if I spelled it that way, all kinds of people wouldn't have any idea how to pronounce it, and we'd have a situation like all of the little girls in the US who are named "Kathleen", but don't know it, because their name is spelled Caitlin. ;)

I sat looking at the screen for half an hour, trying to think up a cool name. :shock:

'Githania' comes from the French word 'Gitanne'
which means 'Gipsy'.

no Roman-Gipsy roots here, just out of sympathy I guess ... :)

WHY IS MY POST-COUNT SO LOW? :cry:

i think you can all guess why i chose this name :lol:

i think you can all guess why i chose this name :lol:

Because you have Asperger's? :shock:

i wanted the name Sadistic Torture and when i couldnt have that i tried to have Sado Masachism and i couldnt have that and i already had my head shaved so i came up with Sadistic Skinhead.

Take it easy on the Asperger's cracks, ok? Probably all of the ones I know with that disorder will end up being geek-billionaires. More power to them, I say.

Sorry to get all serious, but 'The Lost Planet' is a reference to this hunk of rock we all spin through space on, the 'lost' part refering to the seemingly lack of spiritual, moral, and ethical direction that most of the inhabitants seem to be inflicted with.

It's all The Atheist Reality's fault. :D

there's a story behind my name.


It doesn't make it any better.

my name is a combo - my partner and me - changed a bit...we travel through NS always together :D

I think we should start a war with Atheists, verus Agnostics.

Picture it:

"Die you self declared Heaten!"

"Oh yeah?....go to H ..err....just go, ya unsure bastard!"

Believe that if you will, I don't have a webcam so proof is unavailable. However, the photos that you may see on the forum are indeed of me, mostly at band camp. You can ask me a musical question and I shall do my best to prove my knowledge. :?

i aint bald dude

I got mine from a movie too. Can you guess which one? "It's what eskimo mothers say to there children to soothe them".

Role Playing.
My oldest surviving character.
I reflect him in my nation and my comments.
He is not at all like me, although some may argue the point.

erm im just obsessed with cheese >gently slices a fine bit of chedder :wink:

Mine is my name backwards. :) I'm not very creative.

Based on the Nirvana song by the same name, "The Heart Shaped Box."

And a cool song that is :D

I used to have a nation called Grunge Worshippers. The motto was "Smells like Otto's Jacket" :lol:

well you can probably guess where my name came from

I used to own palan but recently gave that over to a friend, have no idea where the name palan came from really it just popped into my head as I was creating my new nation

I don't know, I think that's pretty cool

Oh, I didn't know we were doing that. As some of you may know, I used to be Demented Oppression. On its own, not very impressive. However, I like contradictions in humour. My nation's full title was "The Free Land of Demented Oppression".

Meh...was trying to come up with a cool-sounding offcial title...figured I'd use "States". But for the rest...well, actually, I looked at the can of fish-food I'd just bought, and it was "Tetra Flakes"....so there it went. Later I found out, that 'Tetra' is an English prefix meaning 'Four', so...decided that my country was just divided into four States.... :wink:

I used to play Unreal games, Unreal is my favorite word, Unreal Soldier is my name in all games, and I think it flows.

I sat there thinking "hmm whats a good country name?" and after about 5 minutes, I decided this one will do.

Pretty much what I did.

Quite a simple question, how did you get your name? I got mine from reading a book about necrons and there was a planet called Kelhsan, so i used it, what about the rest of you guys?

My main country is just my last name with "nia" added to it to make it all nationlike and stuff.

For my first puppet (which I'm going to let die), I was looking for a name and I came up with Emasculata. You can kind of figure out where I was going with that name.

My second puppet (which will be my future tech country) I got as a play on my middle name, which I then gave a slightly Greek sounding name just because I thought it sounded cool: Antonos.

My name is the name of the city I live in, in Irish

Well, my initials spell J.A.P. And jamaica has a cool name, I think, for a country. So I called it JAPaica. :D

i like fairies and also i had to dress up as one for my job just before i created my nation and so people started calling me Fairy Tinkerbelly because my name is Elly

the morning before i found this site i was reading LOTR and found out that the Witch King of Angmar ruled Arvor in middle earth. tolkien describes it as a Lost Realm so i thought i'd spruce it up a bit.

i started saying one night in france when i went a little hyper and everyone just remembers me for doing it :P

I'm a lady not a guy! I got my name cause I love ball room dancing and Dressing up in formal dresses!!

Ballroom dancing, eh? That's cool... do you take lessons or compete or anything?
I delved into that for a year last year.. the competitive latin and ballroom world. *shakes head*

On some other boards, I'm known as Zachanassian, after Claire Zachanassian, one of the main character in Friedrich Duerrematt's play The Visit. I was forced to read it in school but liked it anyway, which is pretty rare. When I signed up to NS, I modified it a bit to make it sound like a proper nation, et voila.

Mine isn't hard to figure out - I love hockey and I wish I grew up playing it. Don't be fooled by my flag, though; I am one of those weird Americans.

From your name you would assume you're some guy named Zach.

So your a girl then?

Oh....somehow I had always asssumed you were a gay dude.

Beg Pardon.

I knew I was forgetting something...


Back in 7th grade, I had a country with my friends. I was the leader of the country, and people all were assigned different things. They would put their names on a list I had to join.
I had a small army/police force/CIA/Ninja team (the squad), directors of different aspects of my country (war, economics, etc), some foreign ambassadors, and all the way down to Head-Chief-Hamburger-Tester.
It was the Aviatic Republic. So since the Republic-y part comes first in this game, I removed the tic... to make it Avia.

Or the easy answer is to tell you that it's my first name, but with an I added.

HAHA. I could imagine a gay guy calling himself a fairy. :D

It made perfect sense.

Mine is from a constructed language and means "beautiful land".

No competitions for me. I love doing it for fun not for sport! Yes I do take lessons! Trying to get my bf to do so too but he's balking. Typical male.

Quite a simple question, how did you get your name?

Simple answer, I'm Lokean (http://loki.ragnarokr.com/pipakwha.htm). :twisted:

I got my name by well i figured people are afraid of the APOCALYPSE so why wouldnt they fear the ULTIMATE one come on right?

Mine is derived from my parents' customary description of my politics. "Rich White Spoiled Liberals Who Have No Idea What The Real World Is Like" probably would have been more accurate, but it wouldn't fit.

I was also looking for an excuse to make my national animal the Kuccinich... It makes all those issues about rampaging national animals much more interesting, I assure you.

constructed language?

A language that has been made up rather than existing for real. Esperanto is an example.

LMFAO! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: , i wonder what she is gonna say about that!

i hate. hate hate hate.

besides that... i got my fuc|king name cuz its my fav band.

I couldn't think of a good name, so I began thinking of Rome. Rome = Roma in latin, so I tweaked it a little to get Raomaken.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

wtf!?!

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Your point exactly?

I had the site recommended to me by a friend, so I clicked create a nation and sat there racking my brains for a good 10 minutes. Then i remembered when I and a group of friends had to design an environmentally sustainable city for a geography project a couple of years before. We created a fairly detailed city-state with a flag and a democratic system (which would actually have resulted in chaos, since we were old enough to be a little idealistic about politics but young enough not to understand how anything worked!), and named it Myopia, thinking that it meant long-sightedness (because the city was supposed to be run on sustainable principles) and sounded a little bit like "my utopia". It was only after we'd written "Myopia" on the flag and over the top of the poster we had to make to present the idea, that we realised that it actually meant short-sightedness.

So anyway, "Myopia" was the only nation name I could think of, but it was taken so I stuck underscores on either side of the name.

I love the non-American spelling of the color of my font: grey, as opposed to the American 'gray'. And wolf just popped onto the end. Perhaps it was my totem animal telling me to create the name. Not sure, since I haven't delved into my Cherokee ancestry. Hmmmmm.....
