Yes, I think that's right. And I actually think it might have been in our podcast interview. Definitely, I remember that "not telling" in answer to this question ...

But also... Could the countries be named for famous historical figures or Gods / Demigods? It's notable that Attolia evokes the Great Goddess in her dress, jewelry, manner, and beauty. Maybe this is a political thing, too. Maybe she is -- in some sense -- going back to the roots of her country to cement her power.
