Country names?

[readsintrees.livejournal.com]

Do we have a thread already where the names of the countries are discussed?

Because today I noticed this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounion

and this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetolia

and this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edessa,_Greece

I'm sure this isn't by accident.

There's also Anatolia:

Can I jump up and down and make squee-ing noises?

Waaah, so cool!!! I had always assumed Attolia was from Anatolia (which seemed to be the most frequent real place associated with it here in the forums), but I now think this makes more sense if the countries' analogue is Greece.

To me the most obvious is the Mede Empire:

Also, I think I've mentioned that Ferria may be modeled on Ferrara, which in its heydey was especially known for its patronage of great music.

Also, I think I've mentioned it before, but to me Ferria suggests Ferrara, which in its heyday during the Renaissance was known for its music.

Sorry, trans_element, I just realized that LJ had spammed some of your comments because they included links, I guess. Usually I get an email when that happens and can go in and fix it, but didn't this time.

(There also was a porn comment someone else made, so it's a good thing the filter is there, I guess. Sigh. A mod's work is never done.)

I've always thought this too!

I liked this line, about Edessa: Edessa benefited from its strategic location.

I like the picture at the top of the Aetolia page. Ancient ruins with olive trees in the background.....Gave me goosebumps.
