Suggestions for the World's name.

bb: Hansbeckistan is a hoot! I love it!
What about Playworld? (Because that is what we do here.)
Cheers, Pgal

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..

Very helpful! Love the suggestion of it having "terra" in it...Terra Plastica and Playmoterra are my favorites. Or Terra Playmo, or Terramobil.

I liked TERABECK (with one R) or The world of Terabeck,
And Hansania 

[Tiermann]

Or you could mush them together - Terra Hansania

I think I need to join this project, just so I can have a country called Hansbeckistan.

Why one R, Gaston?

Well... in my spanish-english mind it sounds better with just one R... hard to explain actually. 

I like Terra Hansania too Tim.

(I'm not in the game either, but)
Here's a few Latin suggestions:

1
Playmobilia or Playmobilia Antiqua/Medievalis

2
Ludia (Land of Play) / Orbis Ludi (World ("orbis") of Play) or Orbis Ludiae (World of Ludia)
Magna Ludia (Great Ludia) / Ludia Vera (True Ludia)
Luditerra (Land of Play)

And why not

3
Medievalia


Another suggestion is to begin composing some history of the world. It might be named after one of the ancient gods ... Also useful to think about how Christianity (and other religions (...)) reached it there (if so, ... I say so because it reached my own "other" worlds). (I thought so because I can see characters with Crusader crosses ...)

Another idea is to place it somewhere. I particularly like the concept of Wall of Gaiman's Stardust. It could also be thought to have some relation with Atlantis (Tolkien's Akalabeth).

Then you could have

4
Medimaris, Oceanida, ...

A little of topic but out of curiosity. Is the double r in argentina the same long rolling r as in spanish, that non-spanish speaking people cannot pronounce properly.

Oh, I understand what you mean. Different sound. It's the same sound either way in english, though.

[Gustavo]

By the way,
England in Portuguese is Inglaterra, in French, Anglaterre.

(Luditerra would Playland, in English ...)

Denmark in Portuguese is Dinamarca.

This place is a continent, right?


----[edit]----
It's cool to think the same name in many languages ...

I like Terra Hansania too Tim.

I guess the main god of the place would be an old Hans, then ...
Maybe the land's patriarch on another perspective ... It could be Hanisterra, Hansland, Handor ... Hansbeckia.

Some could have called it Hansingas/Haningas, the "Children of (the Old) Hans" ...


This is a funny play! .. giving names love it!
