Forestia: Fun Facts[Country Names]

[Dark's Donuts]

There have been a number of countries throughout Forestia, but where do their names come from? How are they pronounced? Well, here we go.

Countries

---

Stellia/New Stellia(Steh-lee-uh) - "Stella" is a latin name meaning "star". The continent of Angelon is very mountainous, so they are very close to the stars.
Archstemina(ark-steh-men-uh) - Comes from "Archangel", Archstemina is a purely religious state, each citizen a devout follower of Nibism.
Shisui(shee-suu-ee) - Literally meaning "water death" in Japanese, Shisui is ravaged by all sorts of storms every year
Tapula(tah-poo-lah) - A play on "ta"(rice field) and "pyuru"(pure) in Japanese. The southern parts of Tapula are mostly fields, while the rest is frozen solid.
Discral(diss-crahl) - A land plagued by swamps and government corruption, Discral is a play on "discord" and "crawl".
Akurei(ah-kuu-ray) - Japanese for "bad example", Akurei was a kingdom that lasted for a long time but collapsed because of the last kings' greed
Anodas(uh-no-duhs) - "Uh, no duh". A country stereotypically unintelligent, since it has no central government and a bunch of cowboys.
Angelon(ahn-gehl-awn) - A play on "angel" and "Avalon"

Sorry this was so quick, didn't have too much to cover and not enough time to part 2 to the magic. That's coming soon!

so basically you're saying that these are each continent in the world of Forestia? if so are these actually based off real continents.
