http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudum_Acinganorum Wikipedia talks about an independent gypsy feifdom on Corfu. Is anyone else intrigued by the idea of a "Romani Kingdom of Corcyra?"

Official Name: The United Kingdom of Atlantis and Vasconia Unofficial Name: Atlantis Language: Euskera Atlantis is determined as the homeland of the Basque peoples. The Kingdom of Atlantis and the Basque Country are united under the Lisbon Agreement following the Second World War.

Speaking as a Paraguayan, the Uruguayans would never enter into an economic union with us unless the Argentines did. On the same token, we pretty much do whatever the Argentines or Brazilians do anyways. Half of us have worked, or have family currently working in Argentina. The Bolivians tend to...

It's alternate history - so in an alternate world, Austria could have been a kingdom. Or, Bohemia and Austria are united under a single drown and they decided to go with kingdom?

I wanted to keep the capital at Washington, which wouldn't be feasible if the Confederates held Virginia. Essentially, handwavium overdose.

First map. Hopefully not too shabby. What you have: The United States of America Capital: Washington Government Type: Federal republic [Oklahoma is Sequovia (spelled purposefully), an autonomous Native American state. Nelphia (Victoria Island) is the same.] The Confederate States of...

Correction: it's more of a poetic name for the Great Lakes states. That aside, any suggestions about the Texas question from anyone?

So I'm reading up on some alternate American state/colony names, like "Charlotina," or "Lacustria," and I was wondering if anyone knew of any similar alternate names for Texas? Something "Latinized," or named after a European ruler or something. You can even make it up, so long as you give me...
