Description[?]:
| Recently the name of the nation in Brmek was changed from "Brme" to "Brmestán" (with the new -stán suffix used natively for practically all nation names). The reasoning is that the nation's original name was "Barmenistan" and at some point it accidentally became "Barmenia" because the adjective even back then was "Barmenian". I would highly recommend a return to the original name. Out of all the original "-stan" nations from the beginning of the game (Barmenistan, Kafuristan, Davostan, Kalistan), Barmenistan is the only one that has a relevant culture appropriate for the suffix. It used to be that, after the accidental switch to "Barmenia", the old name was used by pro-Ahmadi regimes and the new one implied some form of opposition to Ahmadism, but I would argue that the nation's core name should not depend on the ideological or religious stance of the ruling regime. Having a "-stan" name would no more imply Ahmadism than Armenia's native name (Hayastan) implies Islam. So if you agree with this, then I suggest we rename the nation as "Prtastaték Rekvakns Brmestán (Federal Republic of Barmenistan)". |
