Proposal
« on: February 17, 2007, 06:39:58 PM »
I'm proposing this name set for the continents. There will be supercontinents in bold, then under it will be listed the subcontinents.

Arda
Myroria-Eluvatar Subcontinent
The Ardese Isles (TGR, Morthia, etc.)

Oceania

Meditaijitu
North Taijitu (Saint Oz, Tallmann, etc.)
    The Isthmus of Bustia
South Taijitu (DSA, Sovereign Dixie, etc.)
West Taijitu (Annexea, etc.)

Orientalia (pronounced Or-ee-n-tahl-ee-a)
The Inglish Isles (Inglo-Scotia, Whereamistan)
Orientalia Minor (Ryazania, Xyrael, etc.)

So what do you guys think? Suggestions, constructive criticism?

More original names would be nice. I'm all out of creativity juice at the moment, though.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of morale and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.  - John Stuart Mill

Maybe the names could be themed around mythology or something inkeeping with the region name?

Arda=Supermythological

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.37

When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control.

You can be like Central America: A political division, not a continent.

Why is Myroria naming all of this? Perhaps the nations of each continent should name their continent. So Eluvatar Myroria can name their island place and everyone around where I am name the continent we live on. Instead of always having these silly names.

But what happens when there's a bunch of people on one continent and they can't decide?

I was planning on having on country on that continent and RPing once I got 30 posts...


EDIT: Speaking of 30 posts...

At least consult Acle when he comes bach from vacation, and PUR's here sometimes.

Personally, I think that what Myroria's called "north Taijitu" should be two coninents (a map of tectonic plates would be nice), similar in relationship to Europe and Asia.
