Pseudo Canada Name Debate thread (NAME POLL UP!)

[ScreamingCommie]

Hey everyone we are at a loss at what to name the pseudo - canada nation, so we will leave it up to you guys. Suggest some names in this thread and debate which ones are the best. In a few days/weeks/months/years we will pick the top 5 we like and hold a poll. Then the winner will be decided, whoever suggested the winning name will also get immortalized as a companion in the red wars!

So, let your inner canadian out!

RULES:

1. It's not from real-life so no Quebec, Canada or Toronto in the name, if you have a good name but it's from reality you can only suggest it if it's not well known and is in Canada or Alaska
2. No socialism/fascism, Balion would absolutely exterminate them if they had a socialist/fascist neighbor up north'
3. No "Balion" or "Balionic" in the name (e.g. "Northen Balionic Republic")
4. If you want to really have a real-life place name in the Balion name it must also be play-words for example Halifax --> Galifax or something like that
5. No name stealing from other mods or well known games
6. Pseudo-Canada can only be Republic, Monarchy or Federation (this rule might be changed and is the least important)

I thought about those ones:

• Balionic Northern Federation
• Republic of Northern Balion
• Oceanic Commonwealth (could be good for a UK-Canada-Australia mix)
• Northern Dominion

Well if you ask me the pseudo-canada shouldn't have a "Balion" in it's name, it's like having "America" in Canada's name

 

[Psychopompos]

In the setting, is "Balion" supposed to be purely the country's name, or is it also the name of the continent (like "America" in our own world)?

Agreed.

The idea is too think of a name that does not specifically mention any real world places.

People  we seriously need a real name for pseudo-Canada so let's just set up some ground rules

1. It's not from real-life so no Quebec, Canada or Toronto in the name, if you have a good name but it's from reality you can only suggest it if it's not well known and is in Canada or Alaska
2. No socialism/fascism, Balion would absolutely exterminate them if they had a socialist/fascist neighbor up north'
3. No "Balion" or "Balionic" in the name (e.g. "Northen Balionic Republic")
4. If you want to really have a real-life place name in the Balion name it must also be play-words for example Halifax --> Galifax or something like that
5. No name stealing from other mods or well known games
6. Pseudo-Canada can only be Republic, Monarchy or Federation (this rule might be changed and is the least important)

I hope we have this clear and feel free to suggest names withing these rules

 

[Psychopompos]

Do "Oceanic Commonwealth" and "Northern Dominion" fit the rules? The "commonwealth" word isn't restricted to the British one, and I still think that "Dominion" fits the spirit, being both an explicit allusion and a word with could be used in fictional geopolitical contexts without looking absurd.
Are Monarchy / Republic / Federation supposed to be actual part of the name?
In case they are identical to something already existing in another mod or piece of fiction, those two aren't intended to be a reference to anything like this.

 

[shadowarcher]

So I guess that's a no to my name suggestion then.
