    Sorry, Cyclo, I didn't want you to take it personnaly.
    In fact, the whole name thing must be decided before the game starts, because you enter the custom Civ name in the Pick Civilization screen.
    If we don't pick a Civ name at this time, we'll see "Zululand" or so in all occurences in the game. I really don't want the game to consider ourselves as "Zululand". It wwill be frustrating for all people who access the file, present and future.

    I acknowledge your cause has some merit, but I'm rather a pragmatist. As I don't believe in the victory of "the Apolyton Dominion" at all (I think 5 people out of 100 support the name so far), I don't believe we should make another poll. Sure UberKrux didn't make the naming poll the good way, but many people recognized themselves in the choices. What I suggest is that Dominion supporters express their preference here. If they are many, then I'd think the name poll should be reworked. Not for the sake of principle. But for the sake of democracy

      Ok If we decide to change the name. Someone should put a poll up today 6/14. So it can close by Sunday. All other game start issues will finish then. So if you want Dominion or Banana Republic. Then create a new poll. Be sure to include Peoples Republic and Apolytonia.
      Cheers.

        Why not the Holy Apolytonian Empire?
        Maybe it's a too religious name, that should only be used with a religious civ...

          Rep. of Apolytonia just shades it for me.

              Ok I'll throw up a poll (or anyone else can sooner) for this in 5 hours (when I get back). So get your submissions in.
              Currently
              The Banana Republic of Apolyton
              The Peoples Republic of Apolyton
              The Dominion of Apolyton
              Apolytonia
              ?Republic of Apolytonia?
              ?Holy Apolytonian Empire?

              Not sure how much support the last two options have. I think revotes are valid if they get 75% of the original vote or more votes for a single option than any other single option. That's not law yet it's being debated in the polling standards convention.

                  Remember to add "Imperium Apolytonia Gigante"
                  which is kinda ironic in the beginning of the game.

                      Maybe I'm mistaken, but doesn't the "title" part of the name change depending on our government?

                      ex. if we're despotism it's Empire of Apolyton. If we're monarchy it's Kingdom of Apolyton? if we're republic, it's Republic of Apolyton?

                      And the adjective and plural names should just be Apolytonian and Apolytonians because it's silly to say "Empire of the Apolytonian scientists discover plumbing" or "Dominion of the Apolytonians" when we mean just the Apolytonians.

                      so maybe none of it matters?

                      I don't really remember, haven't played the game in a while.

                      I still like Dominion of Apolyton best.

                      although Imperium sounds pretty cool too.
