I have changed "Yvelines" to the much more pronounceable, and spellable "France," or "French Republic," or any other name that means France. On the map, I now appear as "La République Française." Further more, the demonym is now "French," or "Français," rather than "Yvelinais." Hope that gives everybody a slightly easier time in your relations with my nation. :P I've noticed the spelling barrier has been a slight issue at times.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the lurkiest of them all? Posts: 1,369 Group: Veterans Member #303 Joined: December 4, 2006	It was pronounced ee-vel-in-ays, right? Or maybe ee-vel-eens.

Thh first was the demonym, and the latter was the actual nation name. Hopefully France simplifies things a bit for you folks, though. :lol:
