Please post here with your official names, and what you want your encyclopedia named if different. For instance, I'm playing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (original, huh?), but can just go by "The United Kingdom" or even "Great Britain".
Official Name - République du la Tejas (you really, really, really don't want to see the extended official name)
Encylopedia - République du la Tejas , if possible, but Tejas or Texas works if needed.
The encyclopedia entry should read 'Acadie.' That will be the name of the nation, but Acadia will be the way it is generally written in english.
Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Mexico for short.
Dominion of Deseret, or just Deseret for short
Respublika Novaya Rossiya (Republic of New Russia in English)
1. Your Country's short name: Novaya Rossiya
2. Your Country's long name: Respublika Novaya Rossiya
3. The name you'd like to use for your "Encyclopedia": Entsiklopediya
4. The name you'd like to use for your navy.: Flot
5. The name you'd like to use for your army.: Armiya
6. The name you'd like to use for your diplomacy information (has often been "palace" in Navalism3): Ministerstvo Inostrannyh Del
I would also like a section for things regarding Politics and other info on my nation called Istoriya i Politika
Habsburgermonarchie (Habsburg Monarchy in English).
I'm working on a history that doesn't include the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, and since we have no 'overseas' holdings at start, can't really call it an "Empire". ;)
Official name: "Deutsches Kaiserreich" or "Deutsches Reich"
But you could also call it simply "Deutschland".
I'm not sure about the encyclopedia, the name could change (over time). "Deutschland" or "Germany" would be neutral, "Deutsches Reich" would work as well.
What do others think?
@Sachmle
"Viribus Unitis"? ^^
Why black-yellow?
You seem to have a similar translation problem than me, because there is no English word which really means "Reich":
empire -> Imperium
Kingdom -> Königreich
Reich -> empire/realm
Will think of a proper long name when I get home. :)
Quoteyou really, really, really don't want to see the extended official name
But we do, we do! ;D
Quotebecause there is no English word which really means "Reich"
Well there is... uhm... "Reich" of course as in German Reich and Third Reich. :D
I think "Realm" is probably the correct word for it.
Hmmm.
Prooooobably 'Tokugawa Bakufu'.

Yes, Viribus Unitis in German.
Black and Yellow was the national flag of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Empire of Austria prior to the Ausgleich of 1867.
As to translation, I'm limited to online applications, which leave some to be desired.
I think I will keep it simple at "Cao Wei".
Notice that I changed the title...
I had hoped that I'd be able to set it up in such a way that individual users would be able to add subforums to their encyclopedia themselves. Sadly, that's not the case. :-\
So, I'll need:
1. Your Country's short name
2. Your Country's long name
3. The name you'd like to use for your "Encyclopedia"
4. The name you'd like to use for your navy.
5. The name you'd like to use for your army.
6. The name you'd like to use for your diplomacy information (has often been "palace" in Navalism3)
I've closely modeled this on N3 as it seemed to work. If you've already posted, feel free to update your post. In a few days I'll come through and collect the data here and start adding forums. If you'd like to see an example, I made one for Great Britain below.
Long Name - République du la Tejas
Short Name - Tejas or Texas (depends on where you're from)
Encyclopedia Name - Preferably République du la Tejas, although I can work with Tejas or Texas
Navy Name - Armada du la Tejas
Army Name - Ejército von la Tejas
Diplomacy Name - "Live by the Gun, Die by the Gun", na, not really. "Austin."
The names are for the subforums. For instance for GB, I have:
Navy: Royal Navy
Army: British Army
Encyclopedia: Encyclopedia
Diplomacy: Foreign Office
DONE
1. Short Name: Deseret
2. Long Name: Dominion of Deseret
3. Encyclopedia: Encyclopedia works for me
4. Navy: Dominion Navy
5. Army: Dominion Army
6. Diplomacy Information: Protectors Palace
7. The Lord Protectors Own (it will be a mixed navy and army force so IDK if it should get its own entry or not)
Ok, Guinness. Are those names ok for encyclopedia usage?
If you want Austin, you've got Austin.
Sorry, "titles".
DONE
1. Short Name: Mexico
2. Long Name: Estados Unidos Mexicanos
3. Encyclopedia Name: Viva Mexico! (Mexico)
4. Navy: Armada de Mexico
5. Army: Ejercito Mexicano
6. Diplomacy Information: Palacio de Gobierno
7. Air Force: Fuerza Aerea Mexicana
8. Space Agency: Agencia Espacial Mexicana
9. Tourist Hotspot: Sunny Cancun
10. Conquered Territories: Tejas
Gang, Encyclopedia is what you want me to name your encyclopedia sub-forum. For Britain, it's just "Encyclopedia", or "Encyclopaedia". In Spanish it might be "Enciclopedia". In German it might be "Enzyklopädie".
Oh. In that case, Encyclopedia can work.
I'd like to add the forum "Nation that all the Illegal Immigrants come from" :P
DONE
Long Name: - Kaisertum Österreich (Austrian Empire, yeah I know I changed my mind, sue me)
Short Name: - Österreich (Austria)
Encyclopedia: - Enzyklopädie
Navy: - Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy)
Army: - Kaiserlichen Armee (Imperial Army)
Diplomatic Name: - Amt für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten (Office of Foreign Affairs)
DONE
Long Name: - Empire Acadie
Short Name: - Acadia
Encyclopedia: - Encyclopédie
Navy: - Marine
Army: - Armée
Diplomatic Name: - Département des Relations Internationales
Shouldn't your long name be Empire de l'Acadie?
Quote from: Sachmle on July 18, 2011, 07:28:42 PM
Shouldn't your long name be Empire de l'Acadie?
Wikipedia lists the following French name and English translation for the First French Empire:
Empire Français
French Empire
That's what I based it on.
If anyone is good with French grammar, then I'd be appreciative of help.
http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=&ie=UTF-8&text=Empire+of+Acadia&sl=en&tl=fr (http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=&ie=UTF-8&text=Empire+of+Acadia&sl=en&tl=fr)
Sam,
If you Type 'Empire of Acadia' you get 'Empire de l'Acadie.'
If you type 'Acadian Empire' you get 'Acadien Empire.'
The second version is more how I intended it to work- the name doesn't mean so much 'the empire of the Acadian peoples' as it does 'an empire named Acadia'... which is I think where the translation is getting touchy. I ran both versions through Babelfish- and also 'Kingdom of Acadia' and a few other alternative names. I just figured that if Napoleon IV's father was an emperor, so he would settle for no lesser title.

Oh no, it can be changed later. Making the site admin do the same work over and over again might have detrimental effects on the quality of your structural steel later though.
Quote7. Air Force: Fuerza Aerea Mexicana

9. Tourist Hotspot: Sunny Cancun
10. Conquered Territories: Tejas
You know, you could keep it simple (and also more secret) by stuffing those into one of the first six sub forums. :)
7 would be split up depending on whether you're dealing with naval aviation or the army air service. 8 would fall under Army (since you're most likely launching your stuff from land and not from water). 9 would fall under the Encyclopedia. 10 would fall either under the Encyclopedia or the Diplomacy Information, depending on your mood.
1. short name: New England
2. official name: Republican Federation of New England
3. Encyclopedia
4. Army: Federal Army (Permanent)
5. Navy: Federal Navy
6. Diplomacy Section: Foreign Affairs Council
*Edit: I forgot the diplomacy section I've altered it a littlecharles is right... NERF sounds too squishy
Far behind time, let's try this:
1. Short form: Nippon
2. Long form: Nippon no Teikoku to Echizo no Omona Shubougoku to Ryuku Shurioufu no Regoubakufu (Combined Shogunate of the Kingdom of Nippon, Paramount Chiefdom of Echizo, and Royal Government of the Ryukus)
3. Encyclopedia: Tokugawa Monogatari (Legend of the Tokugawa)
4. Navy: Bakufu Kaigun (Shogunate Navy)
5. Army: Bakufu Kougun (Shogunate Army)
6. Diplomatic section: Hana no Teitou (Capital of Flowers)
I set up "Tejas" as another test case. After Tex has had a chance to check in an make sure his perms aren't screwed up otherwise, I'll apply the same scheme to the others.
Looks good so far to me. Not a problem so far as I can see.
1. Your Country's short name: Byzantium
2. Your Country's long name: Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορία (Roman Empire)
3. The name you'd like to use for your "Encyclopedia": Εγκυκλοπαίδεια (Encyclopedia)

Section is getting sorted by continent (Europe, Asia, North America, because I get to choose the order), and then by country short name in Alphabetical order.
I'll get around to adding France in the next pass.
Everyone should have edit rights to their own encyclopedia, but no one else's. If that's not true, please alert me.
What?!?!? Mexico is not automatically first? No brownies for you! :P

Why bother with the Continent sort? Just seams like extra work for no real reason to me. Unkless you intend to make a Continent forum for each one with our nation forums being sub forums. OH and wouldnt it make more sence to go Asia, Europe, NA?

Fixed.
I'm afraid to tell you Guinness, but it appears you made a few typos (or more likely you didn't have an "ä" on your keyboard) when you set up Germany. So let me quote myself and mark a few mistakes I found:

I'm not sure it helps, but "ä" is "ä" in html or Alt+0228 if you want to type it directly.
No I didnt have an Umlaut when I was setting it up....
I also didnt have the computer I needed to cut and paste your typing like I did
Byzantium. I will edit the set up when I get home to a decent computer.

I'm curious now, how can you be unable to copy and paste?!?
I think I've got everyone added that posted here. I also believe I've fixed Deutschland's spelling issues.

I have a computer at Work that barely has the memory to run simple programs. It is mostly used to run simple programs that are actually running on the Servers and not on the dumb terminal as we call it.
I can use one of these I have about 12 of them but if I try to have two windows open at the same time the system crashes. Lets just say they arent popular. Now about half the time I have our real PC at work and can do well everything but I have to share it with a co-worker.

Thanks for the continental setup.

Perhaps Mexico should become ZZZmexico. ;D
