[JoshBrickstien]

Just got a dwarven government. What is it called?
Iron Fist. So. Freaking. Win.

Pics will come shortly, once my engravers make pictures of it.

Post the best names of a government you've seen.

[Ranzear]

YOU! OBEY THE FIST!

[Tilla]

[Judas Maccabeus]

I've gotten a few nice ones.

Dwarf:
- The East Axes (sounds like a Dwarven mercenary company, though it isn't of course)

Human:
- The Council of Liberation
- The Eternal League (wasn't that what Switzerland was originally named?)
- The Peaceful-League of Soldiers (Special contradiction edition)

Goblin:
- The Grieving Curse
- The Confident Lie
- The Fatal Hell

Elf:
- The Quick Howl (Okay, this one's just in because it makes me think of ElfQuest)


Also, I saw one called "The Coast of Radiance".  I'm going to see if I ever get one called "The Pool of Radiance"... 

[Diablous]

The Depressed Devil of Bone. It was a goblin civ.

[Arkenstone]

Switzerland = The Helvetian Confederation.  They haven't left their homes on a mission of conquest since Julius Caesar put them in their place.

My best Gov. name was "The Dead of Spirit".  It was a custom name, but what surprised me was that its symbol was a coffin.

[Ironhand]

Well, at least they got it pretty close.

Maybe you just translated it wrong.

= P

[Demonic Spoon]

Dwarf:

One good that I remember was 'The Crimson Pick", murders in the tunnels anyone?

Human:

The Confederation of Bakers (Heh)

[Julien Brightside]

My dwarven city is called "Ironwatched." Belongs to the civilization of the Massive Theater.
Enemy of the goblin civ "The simple monster."

The elven nation is called "The twigs of showering."

[The Grim Sleeper]

I once had a fort  semi-random-named 'Boltstab'. Considering the entire fort was to be guarded by crossbow-dwarfs (this was 40d), it felt very appropriate.

[Guilliman]

OMG because of your thread I had to check my current fortress.

It's named "Staffchant"  fortress of the kingdom "The bodices of selling"

[SquidgyB]

I do like it when DF randomly comes up with something relevant to the fort you're creating - while playing with 40d# trying to find some spires of rock to server as a foundation for a multiple tower based fortress, I find pretty much the perfect site (magma, chasm, underground river, a pit and HFS, in a 5*6 where all the edge tiles were soil/sand biomes at the same elevation, with the center tiles consiting of mountain biomes that had 4 tiles with very high elevation, giving me beautiful ~50-zlevel spires to craft into a fortress).

DF decides to call them "Spikesmiths". Perfect. I just wish I could find spiky terrain like this in 2010...

[unperson]

I got a human civ called The Nation of Suckers.

[Acanthus117]

I got a human one called the Swords of Liberation. Ironically, they were the heads of a XBAWKSHUEG empire.

[Boingboingsplat]

The Confederation of Bakers (Heh)

Somebody needs to mod in an oven for baking. Then you can just provide flour and fuel and make bread! Flour + Sugar for cakes/cookies etc.

And, of course, dwarves would make magma ovens.
