Naming the Lost Continent

[Zero]

For eva related island name geofront, but isnt that a name of one of our city right now? too lazy to check now...

other names: atlantis or just to refer simply, china island, zulu island and Japan.

Why not use Graceland to refer to the three continents the "Lost" Civs are on? (We were assuming they were on one continent at the time.) We could then name each continent individually.

Don't have much opinion on those individual names, but I like Zadagascar. The Zulu continent should be something we like; that way, we won't have to bother renaming it when it's a province of ours.

I like Zadagascar also, but there is this unwritten rule that continents names must begin and end with the same letter.

What about Radagascar ?

Zadagascaz, or maybe Bob?

Yeah, Yingzhou (I prefer it with the i) for the Chinese/Indian continent, Bob for the Zulu continent, and either Allyourbase or Nippon for the Japanese continent.

And yeah, we already have a city named Geofront, in El Nido province. (I distinctly remember us deciding on El Nido for the name of that province, not El Nino. I refuse to call it El Nino.)

Hm. Asia...Africa...Europe...Antarctica...Australia... well, at first I don't think they really understood America was worthy of two seperate continents when they named it. So you could say America, forgoing North and South. By Jove, you're right, they all begin with the same letter as which they end!

Who said we have to follow unwritten rules? Zadagascar is just fine. Besides, I think it's just an island. Corient is good for India/China, but does everyone like it? When we conquer it we don't need to worry about renaming it. And CorienT doesn't begin/end in the same letter. (T capitalized to emphasize.)

I really like Zadagascar, it just calls for typos, like our motherland's name.

Corient isn't a good one- IMHO we need a long name for the second sized continent on the planet...

[GePap]

My guess is that Zadgascar will stick. catchy name.

And we don't already hae enough typos? Zagadsscroa it is.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Actually I coined Zadagascar from Zulu + Madagascar.

Corient? I don't know, I figured we could refer to India and China as Corientals from The Corient.

Japan? How about the Fogi Islands (pronounced "foggy" assuming they conform to historical presidient and are on more than one).

Zadazambastard? Oh Zadagascargo?
