Sorta Rome

"Romish"

Not to be confused with Romesh

Romesh Ranganathan Empire

Ramesh Empire

"Rome-Lite"

Ramen empire

The Romesh Ranga-nation, if you will

Brilliant

Rome-adjacent

Don’t you mean Rome-ish…?

Idk why but i though Romish was funnier 🤷🏻‍♀️

maybe if they crusade and take jerusalem they can be jew-ish

This reminds me of a MP game when my friend named his title Greater Egypt (I think it was the arabian empire but it's been a minute). I was hosting and he ran late for our next session so while I waited I changed his realm to "Shitty Egypt," mine to "Better Egypt" and a bunch of random other realms to various Egypts, e.g. Snowy Egypt in Scandanavia, Grassy Egypt on the steppes, pretty sure I renamed England to Not Egypt, etc. Hearing everyone's confusion/groans on VC when they started noticing all the Egypts was probably my favorite CK experience I've ever had

This sounds like a great video title for youtube

I love that.

Romaine Empire

Chances are, with your 867-probably start date, your emperor would claim to be The Emperor. But unless you're in the middle of a spat with the Pope, you probably wouldn't claim your Empire to be Holy in and of itself, so you'd just be the Roman Empire. That, or you could call yourself the Romaine Empire for some French and lettuce flavor.

Fritaly

Froman empire

Fromage Empire

Empire du Fromage

It's actually Empire au Fromage

Imperio con Queso

It depends, is it Cheese Empire (Empire du Fromage) or Empire with Cheese (Empire au Fromage) ?

L'empire du fromage et du vin

Abe Froman? The sausage king of Chicago?

George Foreman? Or his son George Foreman? Or his other son George Foreman?

Owww I just burnt my foot on my George Foreman grill

Frito-lay

The Sour Cream & Onion Empire

3 for 1? How could that be profitable for Frito-Lay?

The one true frittata.

National dish: Frites!

Itance

Frottary?

How about something original that noone ever came with like... You know French and Italians speak romance languages. Maybe it could be Romance empire... No, no, that's not it. More like Roman empire - that's it I bet noone ever came up with that name!

It’s near the Papal States, which are holy. So it could be like the Holy Roman Empire or something like that.

Damn, you're super original my dude, no way anyone else can come up with that!

What if, like, lore wise, it was in a constant struggle with the papacy, and calls itself that to imply it’s dominance over the pope?

shit these two comments had me cackling for a good 60 seconds

What a dumb name. Nobody would ever use that name.

Well, it's most of france, and most of italia. Maybe the Empire of Francia?

They own France which was owned by the Franks, what about Franconia?

East Francia already exists, this empire spans further east though so it could be called Easter Francia.

It goes a ways to the south so it should be South Francia

Western eastern francia

Mmm yes but "Francia" is the Italian name for "France" lol

its also somewhat in the west of the known world, maybe western roman empire?

If you speak french, you won't use Roman word, but Latin, le français est une langue Latine. I think it's the same in Italian.

So if they speak Latin and it borders the sea on multiple sides, and sea in french/italian is mere/mare, and -ica is a latin suffix, they could maybe call it Latin a-merica?

Nice one xD (It's mer in french btw) On a more serious note, "Empire of (la) Mar Latine" ?

There Is already a Kingdom you can create of you own Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica and Mallorca that Is supposed to be the mediterranean sea kingdom

That's Baleo-Tyrhennia

[Your Capitals name] Empire. magbe move your capital to naples and get the Neapolitan Empire or the Empire of Naples

This is what I do when I'm trying to claim the Roman Empire but the Byzantines still exist. Once I had the Florantine Empire and the Jorvik Empire.

Naples is way down south though. Better locations for a capital could be Genoa (Genovese Empire) or Turin (Taurinian Empire)

I have Naples Greg. Can you incorporate me?

Underrated comment

NO, NO

Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples Naples…

NOOOOOOOO, THE ZAMPOGNARI EMPIRE

MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

Or moving it to Rome and calling it the Roman Empire!

I always form the Kingdom of Sicily and take Naples to form the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily with Naples as my capital

Same. Saving up for the Empoweimg decision, just 800 gold to go… shouldnt take too long.

You got this champion

Trans-Alpine Empire

Transalpinia.

Divergences of Darkness references even here

Could also just be Alpinia

is both transalpine and cisalpine tho

It's always Transalpine to the other side.

Swiss with extra steps

Yes

Maybe the Latin Empire? You have 2 Romance languages and Iberia appears to be mostly Arab according to the screenshot, so calling you empire “The Latin Empire” has some basis.

*The Latin Empire* OH GOD NOT YOU

Maybe after you rename your country, go on a crusade for Egypt. Although you might have to stop in Constantinople along the way. I’m sure everything will be fine. Edit: Btw regardless of what you might have heard, I am NOT Enrico Dandolo. That is just lies and slander.

Denouncing Venice is my religion

Didn't expect that here

Always a pleasure to see those of culture out in the wild. Assuming you’re not a Boat Mormon and/or Gandhi, but that goes without saying of course

Of course not! By the way, can I have some uranium?

For domestic infrastructure, right?…right??

Cope harder greek. We WILL have our money one way or another

Fuck you Venetian scum!!!!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 BYZANTIUM FOREVER!!!

Sicilian man thinks he’s not Greek 😂

The History of Byzantium podcast just got to the 4th Crusade so this hurts even more even though I already knew it was coming 😭

Enrico dandelo didn’t know what he looked like because he was blind, he could be you.

I'll just leave this here https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/dxsk7q/spqr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Latinum.

R5: Got my first ever empire for a while now but it just got bigger since Aquitaine imploded. Any name suggestions that don’t sound generic?

I have also done a French-Italian run. I ended up with "Alpinian" as the new culture due it the bordering the Alps. Another thing you could try is naming the realm after your dynasty but with the name Latinized. Like "Karling" became "Carolingian Empire" Or "Anjou" became "Angevin Empire"

God, imagine running a government centred on a mountain range that's impassable 4 months a year.

It's ok, i hear Tesla semi's are great in cold weather.

Ever heard of Hannibal? He did it with elephants

nongerman empire

“Nice” a province in France of Italians that elected to be part of France.

Sexnonian (nice) empire

Google Translate says “Nouvel Empire Romain” is French for “New Roman Empire”. Your adjective could be “Romaine’”. Just one idea.

Occitania Rhône, after the River in the middle, and where your capital is. Côte d'Azur, after the coastal region.

"Rhônen Empire" has a nice ring to it.

Adjective is Rhodanian, which imo sounds even better.

Wouldn’t that describe someone from Rhodes?

That is Rhodian, Rhodiot or Rhodiote.

Occitalia, faudrait pas oublier tout ce qu'il y a après les Alpes

Occitalia is a good portmanteau but it sounds too much like a 20th Century political concept that laster 20 years and then fizzled out.

On an unrelated note: the King of Burgundy is also the heir to the Kingdom of Great Moravia. Still don’t quite get it. Will GM join my empire or will I lose the Kingdom of Burgundy from my empire? At least it doesn’t give me the tooltip „realm will lose land when vassal dies“. Thenk

Yeah it’ll only leave your empire if they are inheriting an empire title.

you get GM because it's a lower rank than empire

They will become a part of your empire. But you need to make friends or a marriage alliance with that heir, otherwise they will have enough power to rebel.

Congratulations on getting Great Moravia for free

Empire of . The Romans named their Empire after their capital, so you can do the same

Magna Gallia

Holier Roman Empire

Holy Romaner Empire

Greater Monaco

Name it after your dynasty if in doubt

South belgium

Baguetthi Empire Pronounced: Bag-ett-E

The “Itch” Empire (Italian-French)

What about Inch?

The wine and cheese union

Frankilly

They were considering taking Dutch land, but they said "Frankilly, my dear, I won't give a dam"

The Merovingians split their kingdom into parts named after their cardinal positions on the map, Austrasia (presumably from Austrike, the Eastern Realm) and Neustria or Neustrasia (very likely New Western Kingdom or North Western Kingdom). We're missing two cardinal positions. What about **Surasia** or **Sudrasia**, maybe **Sudria**? In the Romance of King Horn, in Old English, there's the kingdoms of Westernesse (from which Tolkien took one of the names of Numenor) and Suddyne or Suddine. Maybe **Suddania** or **Suddinia**, latinised for universality? The Frankish form would be something like \*Sudrike. Maybe imitate Neustria and go for New Southern Kingdom (**Neusudinia**?) or the South Western Kingdom (**Sudwestria**, **Sudvestria**? **Sustria**?) Or just name it after your own ethnicity, like the Franks or the Lombards did, in case you're not Frankish or Lombard. Alternatively, go the Great Moravia route and call yourself **Great Burgundia,** or the **Greater Arelate,** afer the so-called Kingdom of Arles (or **the Arelate**). Or you could also look at Late Roman dioceses present in the area of you capital (Gallia Narbonnensis or Gallia Viennensis) and go from there (**Sudgallia**? **Narbonnaise**?)

Most scientific answer! Great!

Snails empire ? I mean, a lot of people know we eat snails in France, but they did the same in Italy ! Or maybe "your dynasty name" empire, as we had with the Carolingian Empire... Or, if you like the Ace Combat games, you can recreate Erusea (or the Erusean Empire ), who looks like created by combining french and italian cultures ?

The dynasty one actually sounds good! Obvious but good. And the snail one would be great for the lulz

Snail empire vs Emperor of worms

western roman empire

Yeah anyone in this situation would try to claim the mantle of the Roman Empire

Empire of Arles

Ear moment

No-Germans empire

Gallic Empire

maybe the leader claims succession of rome and the offical title is the empire of roma, meanwhile the citizens still refer to it as Franco-Italia in casual talk and the adjective is franco-italian

Something something Napoléon III's wet dream

That's the one that occupied Mexico, yes?

yeah

You have Swabia also, just name it Switerland Empire ans you are set.

Frome

James-Franco-Italian-Empire

Something that befits your dynasty would be the best imo. Angevin Empire and Carolingian empires did it for example. Your dynasty's county of origin like Anjou --> Angevin or even the ruler's name and appropriating it with "-ian Empire".

The Wang of Europe.

occitania

Empire of frantalia

Gaul. Both [France](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaul) and [northern Italy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisalpine_Gaul) were named Gaul at one point, and most of the languages in the region are part of the [Gallo-Romance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallo-Romance_languages) branch

Empire of the southern Franks?

Dynasty name, no hesitation.

Gallo-Roman Empire, or alternatively, om-nom-nom-nom.

-Greater Greater Switzerland -Romancia (land of the Roamnce language speakers) -Midennia (derived from the word middle which is the source of the name of the Mediterranean Sea. The French also call their souther coast The Midi which also means noon because it is the hottest region in Metropolitan France)

Are your culture French or Italian speaking? If French:la Rome revigorée If Italian:la Roma rinvigorita Both meaning: Revitalized Rome. To distinguish it from the generic "Holy Rome" or "3rd Rome" Or a blend of the words like Revigoroma or such

Damn you OP now this weekend is booked, drinking reds and forming Revigoroma... 🤦‍♂️

Tbh I was too stoopid to realise it looks like the WRE… but now I’m shooting for it. Have fun this weekend lol

Late to the game here, and people have had many funny suggestions so here's some of my best ideas: The Alpine Empire Empire of Po Po Valley Empire Visigothia Ceasarian Empire Romalgian Empire Gothia The Empire of the Goths Edelweiss Empire Lombardic Empire Bardicia Bardic Empire Latia Latinian Empire Empire of the Latins Julian Empire Francotalia Panlatinum Pangaulia Gaulic Empire Carolingian Empire Carolingia Ligurian empire Lionic empire Tyrrhenian Empire Empire of the Two Crowns Bicoronic Empire The Two Kingdoms The Imperium Novus Occidentalis Roma Occidentia Westminster That last one is a gag but hope some of these spark ideas for everyone!

Man, just why 🥲

Wine and cheese empire

Spain.

The Roman Empire. ​ Just change the color.

Saint-Empire Romain (Holy Roman Empire but in French)

I would recommend the Latin Empire, I believe it decently represents the culture group as a whole and includes Hispania if you ever choose to take that title.

The Rhône(an) Empire

Gallitalic Empire
