Naming Regions? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Should we name regions on the map for more realistic game play?

The X peninsula, Y island, Z mountains etc...

(insert creative names instead of the X,Y,Z)

lol, We should try to name them. If theirs a place where to land masses get near each other and create a kinda fat river, it would be the Whatever channel! Whoever has the most power over the channel would have their name in front of channel, Should we own one mass and say... ...Germany owns the other, if our terrortory has more of the water than Germany, it would be Aolytonion Channel, if germany does, the German Channel!

Let's not name them entirely realistically... we need some fun names too.

We could also name them after certain events.
For example, "The Dead Warrior Ridge" can be named after our first failed battle in a nearby mountain chain.
Or the "Hittite Plains", named after the Hittite Village found in a large plains area.

Sorry, I completely forgot this thread when I was posting a new region naming thread. Basically, it's a think tank to come up with ideas for regions' names.

Like I've said, cities will be named diplomatically, but regions/geographical locations will be given names based upon what people come up with in the turnchat. If people like a name you suggest (ala Notylopa Jungle), then that's what it'll be named.

Panag :
No need to start yet another thread on this issue, there are already two. I started the other thread after having forgotten this one. I'd like to see my thread as a place to suggest ideas (yours are more than welcome), and the current thread do decide if and how region names should be given.
