I'm super excited about the (as yet unnamed) next expansion so please indulge me in creating this thread. I've come up with a few candidate names for the expansion and hopefully everyone can come up with more for Paradox to consider.
== Il Principe ==
IMO the best name for this expansion from what I've seen in the dev diaries so far. It is most descriptive of this expansion, and to me EU and Paradox games in general borrow a lot from Machiavelli's ideas presented in his (in)famous book.
== Magna Carta ==
In 2 months will be the 800th anniversary of the signing of this historical document, which is also when this expansion is likely to be released. Given the fact that the expansion contains special mechanisms for England, and the fact that the Magna Carta has had impact far beyond the coasts of the British Isles, I feel this title is justified.
Also I'm an ardent Anglophile so I would love to see this name.
== Leviathan ==
The name of Thomas Hobbes' groundbreaking book in political philosophy. This title to me is more descriptive of the currently revealed content of the expansion (and somewhat less Anglophile) than Magna Carta, but at the same time more imposing than Il Principe. The gigantic looming visage of a Leviathan would certainly not pale next to the golden glow of El Dorado on the horizon.
These are my ideas so far. I choose the titles of books and documents because well, we've already had The Art of War and Wealth of Nations. Those being two of my favorite books, I thought to supply the names of three more of my favorite books/documents.
Have Fun!
