NationStates Jolt Archive

Where did your nation name come from? Cyania is an acronym from c(reate) y(et) a(nother) n(ation) plus the Latinate suffix -ia indicating a name.

1. Punch keyboard randomly.

2. Add vowels.

Mine came from an alias of mine, Potatish. But, since I wanted to have a Nation with a reasonable name, I used Potaria.

Maraque (pronounced Mara-kay) is just a random name I came up with.

My puppet nations; Curona, Westhampton, and Atrons are also names I just made up during the spur of the moment.

Where did your nation name come from?Nothing nearly as intricate as yours - my name is Juliette, and Mlle is short for Mademoiselle in French, so there you go... Mademoiselle Juliette. Yay creativity! :p

Mine kinda explains itself. I was following a link of a link and I didn't think I'd come back so after trying for a bit I gave up.

A couple years back, I drew and created a creature I like to call a rogue angel. So I added -ica. Yay.

i didnt feel too creative, and i was watching sealab 2021 at the time. all of my puppets have followed suit and also have sealab names.

Bizarro I love you, Bizarro. I'm helping. I'm helping youuuuuu.

I hate the Bizarros. Except Turtle Face....
(I really love that episode...)

i'm named after the gay leader of the nazi sa, murdered by the ss at hitler's orders during the night of the long knives, cuz i think he's a strangely ironic and tragic figure.

Sealab BIZARRO rocks!

Are you freaking out?

No Just really pissed off.



My nation is a misspelled Sufjan Stevens song title.

I made this nation on a dare, with most of my Academic Decathlon team watching. Part of the AcDec curriculum is to give a speech--and I'm known throughout the school as "that one AcDec girl who gives speechs with big hand motions." Thus, Wild Hand Motions. My single puppet, the Leather Ocelots, is because Ocelot is a nickname of mine, and leather is my favorite fabric. :p

you might want to check out otto and gregor strasser as well, they weren't gay but they were other important leftwing nazis. my knowledge of them is kinda superficial but they are interesting as well. the nazis are often seen as monolithic evil, its interesting to see what a strange and sometime contradictory bunch they were. it humanizes them, which i think is important. the holocaust isn't what some monsters did 60 years ago, its what we all could do in our worst moment if the conditions were right.

Sweet! Thanks dude!

Mine is pretty simple. A bunch of states in the middle of the Eastern United States of America decided that the US government sucked, and was force feeding them martial law and paranoia, while taking away more and more of their rights. So, they formed a new nation within the United States, one that has alot more freedom.

Etc.

I named my nation after the old term soldier of fortune, but since soldier of fortune was taken, I changed soldier to nation, implying instead of just beng a single soldier It was a nation full of mercenaries.

I use to live in Morocco for awhile. Marrakech is my favorite city from there. In fact that is where my wifes family is from.

It's actually a joke. DLE is an atheist nation intended to be partially mysterious. Anyone with familiarity with a certain type of Christians should get it.

Um. We're a Tribe. Of cats.

Tres cool. :cool:

My nation's name is a pelling error, it was supposed to be 'Caesar Pater' but ohh well. Pater means father, as in father of the nation in a father knows best state.

"Mythotic Kelkia" comes from "Mythic Circle/Cycle".

My high school nickname.

Davo_301 pronounced Day-vo_three-oh-one... it is simply a shortened version of my surname and since that was taken and 301 was a break down of logic
1= me soundeing too proud (i'm #1)
100 =on hotmail the first itme i used this name was taken
101 = room 101 (never a good thing)
300 = too plane
301 = just slightly off normal... just like me

Its weird to see many of the death camp officers/commandants were perfect gentlemen at home and about but did filthy things.

Then there is Elisa Koch(SP?)
Female and Psycho

This was the very first nation I created on NationStates, in 2003 (its been resurrected since), and at the time I wanted Dragonia. It was taken, so my husband suggested I put the Sky in, to sort of give the impression of dragons flying :)

A variation of Down With The Sickness, but I couldn't be bothered typing "Down With The System" in every time I log in, so it became "Down System"

named after Sir Francis Drake

named after Sir Francis Drake
Why not Carteria??

His cousin was Howard Carter right or at least Howard someone. :confused:

Mine is basically a weird derivation of my nickname, Pri.

Mine is the city of Sanctaphrax, from the Edge Chronicles, a series of books by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. (very good books;))

My nation's name is my IRL nation name origin (Portugal)

Its latin, it means "Cale Harbor", it was a northern city in my country.. along time ago. Basically, its history :p

I just wanted to make my nation as weird as possible, so I ended up with Divine Imaginary Fluff, since it was the weirdest name I could think of at the moment. I then used the prefix The Holy Empire of, since that enhanced the effect. (now I use "The Most Holy Empire of" instead, since that sounds even weirder)

Hata-Alla means "hate everybody" in swedish. Not a very nice name, but it suits my dictatorship.

Mine is the Latin name for the town of Borgå in Finland, where my mother was from. Random I know...

The first time I wrote down where my name came from I saved it on my comp. Here's the copy+paste of it. Keep in mind its pretty poorly written, as I quickly typed it up to answer the question.


Back in the day, (a few years ago actually) me and my best mate were N64 wh0res and one of the games we played was wcw/nwo revenge, a pro-wrestling game. One day I decided to re-name on of the made up characters. Being a southpark fan then too, I named him 'FiveassedmonkeymanVII' with the 'manVII' being added on in a spur of the moment thing. About a month later, I was discussing with this said friend what I should use for my yahoo msger ID (I just started using that again even though no one I know is ever on) and he suggested I use the fiveassed name, so I did, 'Fiveassedmonkeyman7' became my Yahoo ID. A few months later, I started playing the online game 'Planetarion' (sometime during Round 3 for people who know when that was) and stuck with the name for my planets ruler name. Using IRC became an important part of playing this game, and I was forced to shorten my name to 'Monkeyman7' for IRC. Sometime during the round, my birthday happened and some of my friends gave me an orange 'pimp' tshirt which I wore constantly (note: in the dictionary at the end of my last year at school I got 'Always seen: with his bitchaz, Most likely to be: A P.I.M.P. this stemed from this tshirt) When round 4 of Planetarion started, I adjusted my ruler name slightly on the back of this tshirt to 'Fiveassedmonkeypimp7' or 'Monkeypimp' for IRC. When I started playing NS, it was the name I was using at the time so I went with it.

Mine is a twist on the phrase, "the atheists might...", rewritten to sound like a country's name. As something of a pun, Atheistic Might's motto is, "We just might..."

A variation of Down With The Sickness, but I couldn't be bothered typing "Down With The System" in every time I log in, so it became "Down System"
I always assumed you kinda named it after System Of A Down.
Anyway, my own...named after one of the co-conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot to kill King James. Possibly. Or maybe not...could be after a certain 20th century dictator of the Soviet Union.

Named after "Rattus Norvegicus" was unavailable.

To quote wikipedia:

"Alma mater" is derived from the Latin term for "nourishing mother". It is frequently used in the English language in reference to the university or college a person has attended. In American English, it is also in reference to a high school or elementary school. Alma mater is sometimes used as a title of a school's anthem or song. The word "matriculation" is derived from the Latin root word mater. The term suggests that the students are fed knowledge and taken care of by the educational institution. "Alma Mater" is also the title of a song by Chicago and of a different one by Alice Cooper; Morrissey also punned on the phrase for his 1997 single "Alma Matters. "

My NS country is basicly a HUGE university, with campus. The motto "One cannot stay in the cradle forever" is short for the quote "The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot stay in the cradle forever." by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
Its flag is taken from the game Alpha Centauri, and shows a man looking through the door to an alien planet.

I was(and still am) a big fan of the Godzilla films, getting the nickname "Tomzilla". When I found this site, I decided to put my nickname there for the name. My name on X-Box Live is "Sarge Tomzilla" so, that also had influence.

Mine comes from the region of Georgia known as South Ossetia (which I wanted to have but couldn't). I know, I'm a pretty boring guy.

Mine comes from the song Zombie Nation that i like, but Zombie Nation was taken so I took Zombie Lagoon. I think I also saw Resident evil that day

It all started with a sweet party I throw each year... My friends, all wanting to be on the invite list, started to call me Chocolate Countess. Well, I wasn't going to stop there. The world is my truffle.

Oh, you mean "Nu Or-lens"?


No Nu Or le-on! :D

Both ya' gots it wrong - ya'll hast ta' pernounce it Nor-Lens ta be a sayin' it crectly

Durn yankees, caint neven tawk rite, prolly be a thinkin' Baton Rouge is a new shade a lip stick or sumpin' I'm a fixin' ta haf ta do sumpin' 'bout that.

:D

When I started my nation, I had no idea what to call it. As I was eating a pie at the time, I decided to call it Chicken Pie only to find the name was taken. At that point, my mum came into the room and suggested that I replace 'pie' with 'pi'. Muttering about crappy names, I created my nation.

My nation's name was easy! I write play-like-skits and novels for a hobby (No you can't see one) and I made my own nation in one, hince, Republic of Wolfrest :D

I love the US Navy and the SEALs are the only ones in the Navy who can be snipers. The rest is pretty much self-explanitory

I'm for divine power, holiness...etc

That's why I used the Germn form of sanctity: "Heiligkeit"

A sport of nationisation of the (posh English) exclaimation "Great Scott!"

I keep getting telegrams from ppl who think I'm Canadian or something :|

It's a combination of my usual screen name 'Naselus', and 'Mesopotamia'. Unfortunately, that means that it means 'Land between the two nostrils', in bastardised Latin/Babylonian.

Mine is the name for a mountain range in one book by Douglas Adams (I think it was "The life, the universe and everything").
I didn't remember it correctly so it's a bit different than in the book.

I was eight years old, and I used to make pirate maps. Then I started to make country maps, and in one of the countries, called Bonesacke, there was a city called Ram Isle. Ramissle just came from that.

My name, Melody

named after the cult comedy tv show

Mine's from my name - it's a diminuitive which an old friend has called me by all my life. Like Ro-Ro, row your boat.

See my sig.

OOC: Mine is because of the last two elections. The allegations of fraud slung about by both sides is dividing our nation. Hence, the Untied States. Which is my extremely overdone parody of whatever government is in power at the time.

IC: Land of the Brakes home of the Freon, baby.

plus a bunch of guys camping and my utterance of the drunkin term "Man that was suckin' fweet!!" over an explosion we made. We laughed about this all night and most of the next..painful day.Then i joined nationstates.if you havent figured it out yet switch the first letters.

No you got it wrong Damn SUd Yankees abusing Honest French Speak!

It means angel in sanskrit.

I was looking through a Warhammer book for a name that sounded like it could be a country and found "Al Muktar's Desert Dogs."

When I made in e-mail address so I could join the UN in the early days, I made nsmuktar the account name. Ever since corporations and family members of criminals have been asking me for money.

I wanted a nation with a Russian or Balkin sounding name.

My nation name originated with a profound lack of creativity, and a useful prefix.

My middle name - Jordan
Since everything is cooler with an X, Jordax.
Make it sound like a nation.
Jordaxia. The X is still pronounced like a zed though.

Bam!

Vivan from The Young Ones. His favourite programme was a flick called Bastard Squad.

I tried about twenty different names, everyone of them was rejected because it was already used. In frustration I typed the first number I thought of, 31 and the system allowed it.
I hate name choice thingies.

first of all, i would like everyone to know that i am infuriated because i started a thread like this once. ;)

i wanted to be 'Neo-sparta' cuz the spartans were hardasses, but that was taken, so i tried 'Salutus Invictus' which i believe means something along the lines of 'one man, unconquered' but that was a no-go, so i shortened it to salutus. maybe that means 'one man?' that'd be pretty cool too, i guess.

Farkel is a dice game, but that was taken. I used the name I call it, Farquel.

This puppet nation's name came in the result of a revolution starting within my main nation of Huntaer. Huntaer is a evil-dark side of the Force main nation, my evil side. Huntarian Alliances is a group of freedom fighters within and outside of Huntaer space who is the good-light side of the force pupet nation.

Basicly, my semi-origonal Jedi and Sith nations mixed with 40k Imperial of Man (IoM) stuff as well.

hehe, I got my name from not being able to afford Hot Topic stuff. My other nation, Yu-Jyo, is from the english spelling of the japanese word for friendship.

one word: caffine

Well, I had to make my nation quickly and with little imagination becuase my sister was kicking me off the computer. Hence, I started with Nim, thought a bit, added Ha, then got lazy and typed as it came to me adding ra..ma..fa.....la, thinking it was the funniest thing ever.

I openned my "big book of military aircraft" and took the first manufacturer I saw, Shenyang, as my name.

Nianacio:
our nation (English) -> nia nacio (Esperanto) -> nianacio -> Nianacio

Niancio:
Nianacio (correct) -> Niancio (a common misspelling)

From the French theorist Gilles Deleuze. Of others in the Continental school of philosophy (Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, etc), I thought he had the best name for a country. I had also just had an interesting debate about his work a view days earlier.

Steel Butterfly wasn't my original nation name. It is, however, the one that I stuck with. To be honest, I don't remember exactly how it came about, only that it was supposed to be "something strong that normally isn't."

Named after legendary Aussie cricketer, David Boon. Holder of the beer drinking record on the Melbourne to London flight (52).

ElleDiamonique is not the name I wanted for my nation name - it was supposed to be DiamondGypsy. But, diamondgypsy just didn't sound right as a nation, to me, so I took a part of one of my other membernames that I use on the messageboard circuit - elle - and added diamonique - which is from diamond. No real excitement in the origin of my nation name.

Supposedly Maledicti means 'sinner' or 'accursed' in Latin.

First, it was Turnignomipasia, from Jan Jansen of BGII. Then I went on vacation and made another gnomish republic- Slords (due to downing of T-pasia during the vacation). Then part the second of my vacation came around, and I was once again out. So I unified these two and a bunch of hypothetical other gnomish republics under the umbrella nation "The Commonwealth of Gnomish Republics". My alter ego nation "The Dominion of Gnomish Corporations" is supposed to be a split off of that happened during the Second Post Golden Age Revolution.

I was making a tample of bricks to honor my dead pets and named it Sel Appa Religious Center. And it was the first thing to come to mind when I joined.

Lascivious Maximus shares a common element with the first nations I ever made here on NS (I think I had two or three Lasc's back in the day)

This name is the only one of the 'Lasc' names Ive created with more meaning than its surface value. This name and the name of my puppet, form mathematical funtions of one another to describe the duality of man. (My puppets name is a derrivative of this name). I am, it seems, a product of events leading up to even this day - though one particular event in my own historical background seems to have defined, in summation, who I am. So I used the two puppets for a delicately planned RP which I was to execute in the Paradise Club - Lascivious, as the person who I have regretably become - and *puppets name here* as the person who I used to be and strive to return to. They are of course extreme functions of my being - one plays off the negative values of who I have become (Lasc) and one plays off of the positive values of that which I was (puppet). I am divided trying to find between the two extremes, my former self. Sadly though - I have not had the moxy to finish my RP in the club, I sort of left it and my puppet hanging quite some time ago. I really ought to go back in and finish it.

My name comes from a contient I created a long time ago in school as part of a fairly involved project. When I went to build a name, it was the first thing I thought of. Maybe if you're lucky, I'll put up a picture of it someday. ;)

(THE THEOCRACY OF) Straughn.
Straughn is the last name of this individual i know for many years past and hence, who IMO has undergone some peculiar circumstances and is currently in a status that kind of has me unsure of our relationship in a way that i don't think makes much sense to anyone who hasn't endured something similar. Basically he turned from nihilist/absolutist after his first cancer remission, although that polarity was a strange contention in his living versus his spiritual pursuits (hence "Not today, i don't feel like it" motto)
After many strange phantasmic situations he and i were mutually in, he made a choice that was fairly detrimental to our relationship, and after many years of reflection and experience, he apologized and we began communicating with the perspective now of our mutual spiritual discontent with current events and their significance - i named the nation then after him, after being intro'd by a mutual friend who is currently in the no-com zone in Iraq and intelligence ... and so far along with the tumult of his pursuits some (one or two) less than honourable people jumped him and caved in his skull on both sides, so he is again awaiting something i don't think i yet understand in a hospital bed, being kept from contact of his peers by his family since they know there is almost no one he could trust. The strange thing is when the transgression occurred that faulted us, i was writing a book (still sorta am) where he met a strange limbo after a severe cranial trauma and began to float free, while influencing people with varying nihilist/absolutist thoughts and impressions. And so now this happens and we both wait. I don't think i can explain this well. But that's why the name.

Its quite simple really... Anorahs is my nick name backward. Sharona

a mafia based country idea just hit me one day, probably because i was watching to much Godfather. the flag motto, etc just all go together wonderfully

Based mine on the Russian Korolev...just made a small change.

I dunno. I was just drawing pictures one day on a scrap piece of paper and drew a near-future battle on it. When I made a flag for one of the sides, I put a star surrounded by lightning bolts jutting out of it. I then thought "Hmmm, this seems like a good Imperial flag..."

And the rest is history.

Mine has to do with the glorious Simon Bolivar and Jose Antonio de Sucre.

El Liberater was a great general.

Meh. Manuel Amador Guerrero was better than Simon Bolivars New Granada. How corrupt it was...

I mean, they even fought their civil war in Panama! Talk about abuse of provinces! Thank goodness Presidente Amador came around to make sure Panama wasn't bossed around by those nutjobs in Bogota.

My original nation was "Syllo" a very uninteresting combination of 1st and last names (Sylvia's my name) but then i created "Lashie" and the name's cos i get called Lashie sometimes due to fluttering my eyelashes when i get angry...

My last name begins with Eichen. Creative, huh? :D

Eichenson?

Mines self-descriptive.

Eichenson?
Eichenburg?
Eichenstein?
Eichen-Eichen? (thats my favorite!)

My nation's name means animosity or hostility in German. I was thinking about creating a militaristic dictatorship and I thought it would be a fitting name. I just entered in all the words that came to mind about dictatorships till I found one that wasn't taken already.

I'm really glad my first choice wasn't taken. I didn't have any backups in mind.

You could always go with "Cannot think of a name"...oh wait, that's taken too. :D

How about "insert name" or "Nation Name?"

I live in Essex; the name derives from East Seax; Seax was another name for Tyr; It's also spelt Seaxneat; thus, Saxnot.

How about "insert name" or "Nation Name?"

"Nation Name" was taken the last time I checked. "Insert Name" may not be, though I imagine "insert name here" is taken or was at some point.

Edit: I just checked, and "insert name" is taken.

I'm really glad my first choice wasn't taken. I didn't have any backups in mind.

Whoops. I must've missed that. My apologies.

So, where did you come up with "Bitchkitten" in the first place?

I can be a nasty bitch or a sweet kitten.
As can most women, but I take it to a whole new dimension. :D

I found a Drow Translator a while back, Typled in Imperial, This is what I got, liked the sound of it and was looking for a nation name and Wolla.

When first creating my nation i tried using a series of carefully thought out names, or names that i usually use online. :)

They were all taken. Every last one. :(

So i started typing things in at random. The first dozen or so of them were taken as well. :mad:

But then Sharazar worked, so i've been stuck with it ever since. :D

I wanted to have a crazy economical/militaristic nation that totally eats up all resources and grow like crazy.

Once our nation is totally devoid of resources and on the downturn, we just invade someone elses country and keep on moving.

We are like Locust. And we cannot be stopped. Muahahah

Mine is the name of the ringing method that I was in the throes of learning when I created my nation. Cambridge refers to the actual method, and Major to the number of bells (eight). I would put in a link to a diagram, but it would take half an hour for me to find one on this appalling connection, and in any case, I cannot imagine that anyone would want to read it :eek:

Oh, also - it is not, as someone once thought, a boast about having a degree from Cambridge!!

:D Ploy-for a ruse or ploy
:p Monotheistic-part of the ruse
:rolleyes: Coven-the end of the ruse

Monotheists would not allow a coven to exist in their midst.And Wiccans are pan-theists.While some lean toward Animism. :cool:

Veritas is Latin for Truth. Hence me nations name

Mine is from an old nickname. My puppets tend to come from whatever book(s) Iam reading/ have read.

An allusion to the age-old geometric problem of squaring the circle.

Romantic, eh?

I got mine from the place I live (Longton) and the fact that there are so many random groups and gangs within a small area who fight intermittently with melee weapons (tribe-like) - The Tribes of Longton.

Yeah, I know it's poor. So shut up :p

Ravens are sweet. Ravens with no 'N' and an extra 'A' are sweeter.

I give you...RAVEA!

(Either Pronounced "Rah-Vay-Uh" Or "Rav-ee-a." I don't really know.)

I just thought it off the top of my head. It just sounded cool!

I thought up Laritia at the pool.
But in a more interesting sense heres another story

In the Prehistoric age a band of nomads settled in the south pacific region in Europe. Thus the Laritian empire was born.

Fenix, a traditional title bestowed upon... well its complex. The rest is obvious.

I couldn't think of anything else so I figured, "Hey, Charles is a name that makes me giggle when pronounced with a British accent," but Charles was taken so I threw a "h" in.

I got several nicknames from my friends, including 'Her Royal Randomness' and 'the Queen of Random.' Seeing my normal online nicks weren't really suitable for a nation I tried for the Queendom of Random but it had already gone, so thought of an elegant alternative.

Panthea is Greek for "of the gods"

had to add an a at the end though :headbang:

RAM my initials and SPAM the food as its in the Monty Python spam sketch :p

Anarchy + eL, the first two letters of my name: Elric.

I capitalize the L because I like how it looks in that format.

It is from the Greek word gnôstikos, "of knowledge".

Umlilo means " fire " in Xhosa.

It's the sound I hear when I'm running in the morning.

When I was younger, I used to hear my legs saying, "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you..." as I ran down the road.

Now, my hearing is not as good as it used to be, and all I hear now is the whispering.

So I was playing Risk one time and boy, lemme tell you. It was a real knock-down drag-out battle. Things were looking grim for the tiny green plastic soliders of You Forgot Poland: We had Australia and New Zealand, but the tiny black plastic soldiers were sweeping across Eurasia like locusts. They were doing horrible things to the tiny plastic women of Belgium and Russia. But I had a big pile of tiny little soldiers in Poland, and they held off the invasion. It was a miracle. Then those tiny Poles swept out and liberated Europe! It was a grand day for Poles everywhere! We had a tiny tickertape parade! We vowed never to forget!

And then that damned Texan chimpanzee stole my line.

well elesmere isle is the name of the place where the elves live in "the serpents egg" series, and its also an island in canada.

I wanted something original and so the week before I created my nation my cat had a kitten who is a bit of a rogue hence the Rogue nation of Mekonia...her name is Meko

The videogame Grand Theft Auto 3
