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

With Xinmiàn, Níushì 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.

          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.

                    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.
                            You have two choices in life; Explore and learn or Vegetate.
                            There is a reason for everything.
