They certainly don't all need to be put in the final poll! Maybe only suggestions that have been seconded should go in the poll? In which case I second Hansania.

i think thatsa great idea . Hansania sounds a bit like Tazmania and HAns is a very popular name i udenrtsand in Germany , most people wont know it refers to Mr Beck ....  if you ask me ...  ??? ??? - i would still suggest we dedicate this world to Hans Beck but find a more catchy name ( personal opinion of course ) . i would still suggest Playmo planet as its catchy and people will relate to playmobil immediately . just my 5p thoughts on this ...  0)

Hansania has vague associations to me of the Hanseatic League. That makes perfect sense under the circumstances. It sounds a bit too much like a country name to me though.

Generally I think people that live there would just call it the world, since that's what it is.

I think rather than giving it a planetary type name it would make more sense with the period to call it something like 'The Lands of ?" We may in time need to expand the map to make more territory available as well.

I thing playmoplanet is a nice one it has an alliteration in it so it sounds good.

I think we should think of it as a WORLD... not a PLANET. I hope there is the same difference than in spanish for those words.

There is a difference in these words, but in my opinion they're interchangeble.

Playmoplanet sounds good, playmoworld.. Hmmm

I have no further idead for a name at the moment.

I agree there's a difference. I don't think we've come across the right name yet... let's hear some more suggestions.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I also think we need to decide if this is on a different planet or world /part of era at a different time etc .

I do not particapate (yet) in the Kingdom's Map but maybe I have some suggestions.

-I would not use the word 'planet', in medieval times they hardly knew what a planet was. The ancient Greek did (help me, my Greek friends, planetar means something like 'to roam' as the planets had no fixed places in the firmament like stars) but did not see them as something people could live
-Keep it as general as possible ( for instance, Middle- Earth as used in Lord of the Rings was brilliant), with no references to nowadays history
-Indeed nothing like "Empire" or "Kingdom" because this world is bigger than that.
-I like something with the word "Terra", for instance "Terra Nova", Playmoterra, Terra Plastica or maybe "Terrabeck"

I would love to participate and I'm sure my armies would easily crush all your armies, even when they join forces... ( ;)) but I have really lack of time and I want to finish my chess sets and the Randolph story first..
