In no way should my continent contain a French word, or place.  Therefore, I suppose we call it the The United Union of Abattoirian Coherts.  Yes, and from this day forward, it is what I will refer to the ladmass as.

Says the country with the French-sounding name.

Anyway, I've been thinking, but the best I could come up with was Calania.

'Abattoir' actually means 'slaughterhouse,' believe it or not.

I'm actually pretty sure he knows this, as he stated it in the "Where did you nation's name come from?" thread. :-)

Sorry, but I spotted that in a dictionary, and thought it funny.

Bump... what's the word on naming the continents? With my addition to the Yellow, we have to be getting close enough to name it.

Also, I propose that the informally-named Bekk Lake be officially named Bekk Lake.

The patch of water between Starblaydia and Aquiliana has also been informally-named as the Nemyan Strait, btw.

And I'd like a name for the yellow continent too, just can't think of one unsure.gif Why not go with Calania?

Good to know about the Nemyan Strait, ty.

Let's put it into context:

"Containing the mighty Bekk Lake, Calania is the home of a number of Atlantian Oceania's sport-intensive nations. It is the home of numerous nations, including Regional Founder Vilita, as well as Starbladyia, Druida, Legalese, Sarzonia, Aquiliana, and others."


or, Vil's earlier suggestion, Margilantis:

"Containing the mighty Bekk Lake, Margilantis is the home of a number of Atlantian Oceania's sport-intensive nations. It is the home of Regional Founder Vilita, as well as Starbladyia, Druida, Legalese, Sarzonia, Aquiliana, and others."

I actually prefer Margilantis, but I wouldn't cry over either.

P.S. Sorry about the countries not included in the mini-blurbs. Just going with the ones off the top of my head.

As total of a nonbiased post as the name's proposer can make:

Marligantis not only is a very unwieldy name, it was also created as a Vilitan puppet nation shortly after this thread took place.

Plus, Calania = w1nnar.

Sarzonia is actually on the Teal landmass with Crystilakere to the south and Chacor to the north.

It was created to fill empty spaces in feeder tournaments such as the Colony Cup and the Baptism of Fire Cup!

Think of it as a team full of players from the Nation-Free areas of the continent... The Wild Jungle People of Marligantis tongue.gif

heh, that's why I created Bekknia, only it's a "Disputed Territory" in a Legal Battle with the Protectorate. I expect it to lose the court battle shortly after AOCAF V... wink.gif

P.S. Sweet, I can edit now!

If Vilita really feels that strongly about it, then we'd like to add a new "continent" to the list, being the most popular part of the region...

The Archipelago of Calania would consist of Aquiliana, Psytroxia, Ainorpisp, South Osettia, and Stanqonia.

Starblaydia can come too. cool.gif

Part of a continent yet classed as Archipelago?

Just throwing myself randomly into the mix here, what about Abkhazia for the yellow region?

I say 'Calania' is a fine name for the Yellow continent, now that there's only going to be a few tiny pieces of land left. I think Abkhazia fits in nicely with SO's national history (of what I've read of it) but not really with anyone else's.

So... Calania it is?
