[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1619817, member: 1328"] Isn't it Albion, rather than Arbion? -Spain Spain and Portugal are on the Iberic peninsula, so you can use Iberia. Spain is made of several smaller former kingdoms, Castilla, Leon, Navarre, Catalogna, Galicia, IIRC. -France Litterally "Land of the Free" (the Franks). You can use the latin Gallia or Gallica (the Roman pun we kept to this day, giving us a rooster for mascott; the gauls usually preferred the boar, the skylark and the seagull, depending on where the tribe was located). If you name after a city/region, Britanny and its derivative is too close-sounding to Britain IMO. Some other region names [url=http://img.www.france.com/regions.swf]here[/url], just move the mouse over the places. Most of them have compound names, because several regions have been merged together. ("Pays de la Loire" is an extreme example, meaning "lands of the Loire basin".) -Italy [url=http://www.mediasoft.it/italy/index_en.html]Region names.[/url] -Germany [url=http://www.discover-germany.info/germany_regions.htm]Regions of Germany.[/url] Additionally, the Germans have a lots of name.
