My country's name is Bleaphk. I have thought long and hard about what someone from my country would be called, and still I have no idea.

Would a citizen of Bleaphk be a Bleaphki, like an Iraqi, or Bleaphkanese, like a Japanese, or Bleaphkian, like a Latvian? Or something else?

a Bleaphkaner? or you could make it irregular like someone from The Netherlands = Dutch

Yeah, I might just do that. Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas about what a good random word meaning "someone from Bleaphk" could be?

Maybe a Bleap? or Bleapian?

Have you any idea what RL nation/culture they're most like? If so, then I'd try to devise a term that takes the same general form as whatever one is used there...

Actually, at least amongst themselves, they're 'Nederlandish' (or something very much like that)...

I dunno... I think Bleaphki seems to flow the best.

Bleaphk is in the Germany/Poland area, which means Bleaphk peoples would be Bleaphkish or Bleaphkan. Does that sound moderatly awkward, or is it just me?

Bleaphkan sounds kinda awkward, Bleaphkish sounds alright

It does sound moderately awkward to me, yes, but then so does the nation's name itself.

H'mm, with that sort of location we could also be talking about terms such as 'Bleaphkch' or 'Bleaphkski'...

(By the way, as Bleaphk is a member of Conservative Paradise, do you want to claim those lands on our alliance's map? There's a thread about such matters in our forum...)
