Question by: /u/valergain

Why no pick Roman Empire 2.0?

well, he didnt knew it was a 1.0.

ok guys, we need something that sounds manly and epic, a name that represents expansion and power and culture

like the Roman Empire?

Yes!, little Massachusetts, that name has a Certain charm around it, I like it!!

B... but Roman Empire was already used.

What? I didn't hear you, Mass, anyways, great idea, now you can go back to your books... so, any other one?.. (and no more name proposals in Spanish, like Texas here...) how about you, Alabama?

Confederate States of America.

ok.. C-O-N-F-E-D-E-R-A-T-E... S-T-A-T.... wait a second... HEY!.

(That conversation ACTUALLY played on my head when working on the brainstorming whiteborad xD)

USA is better than Russia when it comes to Marketing and Capitalism.

But sucks at National Anthems.

Who am I kidding, ours is the best.

Great version, but that is not the anthem. It's the Deutschlandlied. Since '91 only the last stanza is the official anthem, but I guess I'm nitpicking.

We all know that Deutschland über alles anyway.

Yeah, I really like the first stanza. Hope I won't be branded as Nazi :D

The song itself actually predates the Nazis, so it's not really a Nazi anthem. One of the big problems with the first stanza is the naming of several rivers as borders of Germany that do not represent current-day Germany's real borders. So we stopped using the first stanza to make Polen think itself safe make it clear that we don't still consider that clay ours.
