    Spiffor I disagree; paranoïque is a noun, meaning a paranoic; i wanted the adjective form. But you're right about Joan, my bad. That was a mind fart on my part.

    and if rendelnep wanted to say Grade A Wine, it wouldn't be Grade A Vin... but it doesn't really matter it's just a name

      How about Lathonwafrbunohabecobyap?

      Land that once was France but has now been conquered by Apolyton.

        I think now that the worthwhile suggestions (lol) have ceased to be proffered, you could decide now.

          This is a great suggestion. Ties in our historic Plan Pink, and seems appropriate for the Frogs we have appropriated.

            Trevman, while I appreciate the effort, I'm just not sure I like the ring of that one.

            I have come up with actually a combination....Ile de Rose Chezcoeur Province

            Now, if I'm not mistaken that should mean Island of the Pink Heart Home Province...roughly meaning the heart of the Pink homeland.

            Please correct my French, or reorder it if I have the words the worng way.

            Oh, and for Paris, when we take her, I would like to rename it Tête de Jeanne or Joan's head. Faust can be one of the other cities. (of course this goes out the window if I have no right to name cities.)

            Thank you all for contributions.

              Île de Rose Chezcoeur Province... it's a pretty name. Sounds french. And yes the grammar is good enough really. Takes some liberties I suppose, but it's a name so that's fine. I like it! And the french love acronyms, so we could easily dub it IRC Province lol. Or just Ile de Rose, or Chezcoeur.

              And Tête de Jeanne is a cool name for Paris.

                Cool, I kind of 'won' in a way... (The Faust thing was my idea )

                  Various suggestions:

                  "French Quarter" - stolen from New Orleans
                  "Wineland" - play on "Rheinland"
                  "The Fields of Agincourt" - Need I explain.....

                  Course you could mix and match stuff like "the Wineland of Agincourt". Good for tourism brochures............

                      Ile de Rose Chezcoeur is a bit heavy IMO, and I fear many non-French-speaking people will forget the complete name, and refer it to IRC province
                      Chezcoeur has definitely a French sound (even if I never heard such a thing in all my life ), but I fear it will bring even more typos than Ubergorsk : "ez" is said "é", and "coeur" is said "shaker" (btw "Chezcoeur" would be said like "shaker" with a French accent)

                      "Ile de Rose" also definitely sounds French, and recalls the nickname of Toulouse IRL ("ville rose"). I think it's more simple for the non French speaking public. But Ile de Rose has a drwaback : it's in 2 words, and can be shortened IR by us lazy slobs

                      If I had to make a choice, I'll take Ile de Rose, because I think edges overweight the flaws.
