Perhaps there should be some circumstances where the name of another country becomes Serious Business, like how Greece is upset about 'Macedonia', and you can force the other country to change its name.

Seems like it would be good for MP. "Haha, what France? Your country is called Douchebagistan now."

Not a real fan of Date.

It's not the name itself, it's just that I don't know how to pronounce it.

Don't know if this one is said yet, but on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula is a province that's called Kindah, that's Kindah funny... :p

I'm playing with random nations with dynamic names instead of historical names or something like that. And it also made Beloozero a country, which is actually doing pretty nice, Beloozero is the Muscovy / Russia of my random nations game XD

Did anyone mention the countries Air, Delhi, Itza, Buton, Luwu, Guge, or Koch? And I'd also like to mention that Provence and province confuses me as well, do you even pronounce them differently?

Province is pronounced ''prowins'' while french provence, knowing how crazy French pronunciation is, may as well be pronounced "hot dog".

Not sure why you think these names are cool/funny - maybe they sound different in Japanese - except Koch, of course - Koch is obviously funny, but only in English. I thought this thread ended when somebody mentioned 'Wanka' - impossible to beat - beat, geddit?

That's really not helpful. 'W' is not pronounced like a 'V' in English. It's actually quite hard to explain this without audio. :)
Provence is pronounced like Prov-onse; province like Prov-inse

How the hell do you pronounce 'V' in Polish? Same as 'W', or like 'F', maybe, as in German?
