what do you mean I overthink this. Quite the mix of names we have here.

07 | #00274E
07 | Aelandor - I think it's like 'islander' which endears to me it a bit.
09 | Aeroche - up airrock
05 | Aeyundoré - looks like there's a little too much going on in this one
04 | Ajanaeda
06 | Alteria
07 | Altyr Muunilinst
10 | Avalonia - this really looks quite pretty + 'avalon' is a word string I can never resist
00 | Beaverdonia - hey its me ur reeval (I'm just not that keen on country names that use common English nouns)
05 | Bhangra
06 | Bignia-Zaragovina - the bosnia pastiche is appreciated but the pun was never the greatest to begin with
07 | Botanikka
07 | Brechtoria
-1 | Bubblelands - double sin of common nouns and the dreaded -land suffix, nope
08 | Cadelicia
06 | Cor Lupus
08 | Cumulonimbia - use Latin-derived nouns instead, that's much better
08 | D'yermak'er
09 | Daehun - quite a neat and compact name that doesn't rely on a common suffix (also I remember getting huge mileage over teasing Yu about naming it after Daehyunnie)
06 | Dalisska
06 | Deandria
10 | Desbuanda - strange how you familiarise yourself with country names, when Noah debuted this stood out for having quite a 'African country' vibe to the name and I haven't thought about that for quite a few years.
07 | Dobago - I suppose it's much better than Dobboland or Dobinica
07 | Espen
05 | Ethanola - best thing about this is the alcohol pun
06 | F.D. Anēné - similar problem to Aeyundoré
08 | FARC - I'm glad you're finally at peace
06 | Federal Republic of Ashton - as lower down revelations will make clear, republics are not the best governmental type for the BJSC world but Federal stretches the believability of Republic just enough for me to like it
04.14159 | FKA FKA FKA π - concept of FKA adds +3, each extra loses 1*
10 | Fljótavík - like D'yermak'er good concept in stealing obscure album tracks that look like they could be names only this one is a great location name in its own right too.
06 | Flynnonda
02 | Frandoot - I'm overdosed on froot
07 | FSR Rontvia
09 | Greenfroze - while it does use common words it uses them well as it implies a unique geographical climate in the name, could be a great fantasy taiga nation
06 | Harmonica
06 | Hendinia
06 | Hushkanukia
06 | Ingermanlandia - I appreciate and like the corruption of Ingria but 'landia' is a bit on the nose
07 | Isconia
06 | Jadakissnia
10 | Jayrusalem - a lesson in how to do a country pun, I think part of the reason we forced Jay to enter originally was because we needed to see the Jayrusaleminians in action.
01 | Joedonia
07 | Jukianië
04 | Kluminican Republic - not a fan of republics, love from BJSC's premier empire
05 | Kylienips -
03 | Land of DW - too much land and I still have no clue what a DW is
06 | Medhelnia
05 | Mulgracia
05 | N-Lazone - decent pun but come on
06 | N DNTN
11 | New Lexico - I take credit for at least half of this
00 | Ojnoj
06 | Oslol
08 | Pagasa
09 | Persephonia
02 | PRoJ
06 | Pupok
06 | Quintessa
05 | Ramrynia
04 | Republic of Adonia - see Kluminica, also I'm really rekking the 'donias' aren't I
06 | Sandebörg
07 | Singerpurear
07 | Skall
04 | South Danaelanda - feeling like this south phase will be more of a Vietnam than a Korea
06 | St. Burbia - 2 more points than I was gonna as this could be a St Lucia pun
06 | Suedeonia
08 | Syndare
XX | Séyetana
08 | Taahino
02 | Tartford
06 | Terra Avium - latin is lovely and I like the concept but terra is just Land so... (Terra Di Campioni would have gotten a -1)
03 | The Actual Republic of Bellamia - 'republic', 'bellamia', BJSC needs a jamilistan
07 | Thelonia
09 | Tinnmark
06 | TRIANGLEDONIA
09 | Trifoski
00 | Ultraviolenceland - land where masses of violence happens? Sorry Sam but it is just a poster name + land name
07 | Unovia
00 | Usfland - same as UVland really
03 | Utopia - imagine if RFC ever reentered as Dystopia
05 | Vülkyria
02 | What - appreciate the hipsterishness, the name is rubbish though
07 | Yehesi
03 | Zaminton - TON DENOTES A TOWN NOT A COUNTRY (is this a city-state?)

(honorary mentions to Umiiruka, Launica and Caerfyrddia as names I miss seeing)

*count this as 4

QUOTE

Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology and composition. In the classical and medieval period of Europe, many states were fashioned on the Roman Republic, which referred to the governance of the city of Rome, between it having kings and emperors. The Italian medieval and Renaissance political tradition, today referred to as "civic humanism", is sometimes considered to derive directly from Roman republicans such as Sallust and Tacitus. However, Greek-influenced Roman authors, such as Polybius[5]and Cicero, sometimes also used the term as a translation for the Greek politeia which could mean regime generally, but could also be applied to certain specific types of regime which did not exactly correspond to that of the Roman Republic. Republics were not equated with classical democracies such as Athens, but had a democratic aspect.

That's where our Republic comes from rather than the modern usage of Republic like Germany and the United States. We have an emperor and everything.

I felt like yours was a different kind of republic to the rest of them (if only through actions). I haven't actually come across the idea of republic being used as a general term for a regime, my studies of the classics always transliterated the word to the modern form and I didn't do much etymology.

From what I have observed and remember from what I've observed, I'm predicting either a Fljótavik, Persephonia (consistently getting a lot of 9s, I'm talking nearly every score!) or Séyetana win here. I love all these three too, gave 10s to all except Persephonia who got a 9 () and if I would've given an 11, it would probably have gone to Séyetana actually, who received my 11 in the flag rate too!

Thanks for the 8 John, that's the highest score I've received I think. I'm not the biggest fan of my own country's name, but I can't get myself to change it.
