Ministry of City Naming

[binTravkin]

I must insist on using Russian names, at least occasionally. It is essential to our ideological origins as a nation.

I prefer basenames I can remember. IE, know which base we're talking about when I read the name. With Xinmiàn, NÃushì and probably some other Chinese translations, I'd just remember them as "the city with a chinese name that starts with an x", untill we have a second chinese city name that starts with an x. I do like their meanings, but fear I won't remember the names of our cities.

How about this? A rememberable base name for the illiterates and then an unofficial Chinese 'nickname'. Eg Plex Anthill, Flower of the Heart.

Fine. Let us have resolution to this:
Let us just go down the SMACX Basename list.

Most Hive base names suck IMO. Personally I'm a fan of realistically sounding city names, instead of stuff like RNG Temple.

I guess i'll have to found the Revolutionary Movement for Good Taste in City Naming.

Now let's not get racist.

"Real Chinese"...well, I suppose in a way thats true, considering your parts were made in China

This is getting nationalistic.

And while we are at it,
I think that Chairman Yang during so many years of his devoted service for our great civilization deserves special honors. How about changing the capital name to:
Yangjing?

Ppl. remember we are Yang from AC.

The ideology may be slanted but there is also the AC view that we should have.

I like Plex Anthill, and that's about it.

I decree that the next base shall be named:

COMMUNAL NEXUS
