Ok I came up with "Nag Ehgoeg" in the 5 minutes spent between me signing up to NS when Malkav was bugging me to get on the PC when I was intending to put it in a region for Jedi Knight players. It's not a very realistic name for a nation. As the TC is "remaking" his national identity into Jordan I was thinking maybe I should do the same for Nag Ehgoeg. So that means finding a Middle Eastern sounding name... I also plan to go Catholic for a while, so maybe a name with Biblical connotations... The best I can come up with is Nagistan (as NE is over Turkmanistan, Ubekiztan and soon Kazakstan). So... should I come up with a more RP friendly name? If so, what? |

Well, I like Nagistan, but I also think Nag Ehgoeg works fine as a nation name. So either is good as far as I'm concerned. Though Nagistan is easier to spell. |

Well, it annoyed the hall out of me until I was able to memorize the spelling. Now it's not difficult at all to spell. I don't really have an opinion either way. |

Took me a year to figure out what the hell Nag Ehgoeg stood for, up until that famous singer showed up with "I'm so smart", so I don't want to see it go. It sounds sooooo mysterious! Do you think I put a lot of thought into my first nation's name, "Harumf"? But would anyone recognise me as anything else now? No. Stay with NE, please!!! |

I've never had a problem with Nag Ehgoeg. Always been able to spell it and I don't see how it is hard as a nations name (unlike Trilateral Commission which i think is not suitable as a nations name). |

Norightsia was born a year and a half ago as a joke to tell friends at school who were on NS. I've never really liked the name as an IC nation, so I'm probably going to change it after this Civil War monkey business. My profilename wil remain the same, however. |

We're doing it just to get to you E :lol: I'm joking of course. However, looking back I wish I would have come up with a different name than "TheNeoRomanEmpire" especially given my location. Of course, when I stated I had no idea I would end up in one of our regions, occupying Russia. However, now sometimes I wish I would have created a more Russia, nation but I couldn't give up my first born nation. However, I am thinking of changing Neo-Macedonia's name, but again it's just a thought at the moment. As for the rest of my nation, I like them. Sometimes I wish I could get TheNeoDynasty's name changed to The Eastern Empire, but I've been referring to it as the EE long enough for most people to recognize it as such so no worries. |

Well, if you want a more Russian nation, you could just change its policies and what not. The name wouldn't be too out of place, since the Russian Empire viewed itself as the Third Rome (Rome, Constantinople, Moscow). Just introduce more Russian culture... and Orthodox Christianity ;) |

But it would make them more Russian. What do you want them to be? Buddhist? |
