I'm thinking of starting a slavic campaign, with the end goal of uniting all slavs under one government. What's the best name for this Empire once I form it? The only thing that comes to my mind is Slavia but I don't know much about Slavic languages.

Slavia would work fine. I was thinking of doing a similar run myself. I would give each Slavic culture command over their own kingdom, and try to keep it all together by upgrading tolerance a lot :p i'm not sure if that would work

Well, "-ia" isn't a native Slavic suffix naturally, it's Latin borrowed, though it became kinda universal.

If you wanna go the authentic route, then, hmm...

Slovensko? Slovene? Something like that.

Or "Slovenska Derjava" [sloh-VEN-skuh der-ZHUH-vuh] for "Slavic Empire" -.-

Derjava would be Russian?

Also Yugoslavia or Jugoslavia would be "South Slavia" if we would translate it.

Serbocroatian - др̀жава,

Croatoserbian - država :p

Also it's just држава if i'm not mistaken.

Anyway i don't think people in that age would be calling it a state, more likely a kingdom.

Don't you think that drjava, which, as you understand, means "holding" fits perfectly for that meaning? Because in Slavic native nomenclature there were no word for "kings", and big rulers (beyond the kinship level) were called kniaz or grand kniaz?

Kralj is Serbian for King
and "drjava" sounds ridiculous :D

Yeah it could make sense. We had the word "kralj" for king, but that came from Charlemagne.

Edit: i keep getting ninjad
