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

1
Playmobilia or Playmobilia Antiqua/Medievalis


Nice one, but somehow I get an association with a machine.

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).

4
Medimaris, Oceanida, ...


These are nice  :love: :love:
or maybe Playmoceanide or Playmomaris

That's true :P ... Maybe it should be composed of something else, like
Playmobiloria or Playmobiludia ... 8}


----[edit]----
-terra = -land, and -(n)dor in Tolkien's Elvish.

I like the root "Gond(o)-" (stone, rock) of Tolkien's Elvish ...

There could be a name like Playmogonduria, Playmogondolia

Playmogonduria Medoceanida (Mid-oceanide) sounds cool! 8} though it doens't actually mean what it says ... (Or vice-versa!)

I like the names with Terra in it.
Terra Plastica, Terramobil...etc :)

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.

yep! it's funny my friends from USA just can't do it!  :lol: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  :lol:
the doble r sounds like that and also the simple one when it is in the beggining of the word  or after an N or an S in the middle of the word.... weird I know  :lol:

Nobody likes Ludia :-[
It's my favourite! Maybe I'll use it, someday ;D lol!

Anyway, I guess it can be more than one name ... In theory, each kingdom in the world might name it one way, according to its own culture 8}

And, in time, a main name might appear.

Btw, the name it has, "Kingdom's Map", in Latin, would be Tabula Regni. It could be thought to be a Tabula Regnorum (Kingdoms' Map). Also, Kingdom's Map suggests Orbis Regni, or Regnorum.

i can't come up with names, i'm terrrible at that - plus i have no idea what your role game is all about :-[ :-[ :-[
however reading this thread is getting VERY interesting ;D 8-)

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

In French it's Angleterre ;)
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:

Isn't it Anglaterre? :hmm:

Oh, look, no, it isn't!: :P http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angleterre
Cool! All these years I spelled it wrong! :lol:

---off_topic---
There's a girl here from England, trying to learn Portuguese, and she finds "triste" to be the most difficult word to say, because of the "r" after the "t" in Portuguese ... It's very funny (& interesting) to see her difficulty ... It's really  difficult for her to say "triste". Instead of t-r-is, she says like ("ch" like that of church) ch-r*-is (and the "r" in English is like not exactly an actual "r", but a "wa", so it comes out like "chwis" ... It's really funny! ;D )

It also occurs to me World of Kingdoms from Tabula Regnorum ... It'd be Orbis Regnorum. It's kind of simple, but it says a little what it is, in a name more comprehensive than Kingdom's Map ... (Which, on the other hand, is a very interesting name in itself, in a way ...)

My brother used to be a language coach and help english speakers learn to make this sound, and spanish speakers to make english sounds, to perfect their accents.
