I would name my country Bob, just for giggles.

Residents of my country will be known as Bobarians. :D

I recall having to create a country, system of government, draw up a constitution, etc., for an English project in eleventh grade.

It was called Narsjistlanwifghan and its currency was the cow.

This Land.

I remember hearing this somewhere, something like "And we shall call this land, This Land". I don't know, maybe I'm imagining things.

Mine would be called Utopia.
Ironically, it's government would be a dystopia.

Government: Top Secretocracy, new laws are released once or twice yearly with no prior discussion or clue as to what they are going to be.

And we would all be discussing law at lawrumors.com, and analysts would be replaced by lawyers, who get raises or fired based on their predictions of new laws.

And becoming a lawyer would be as easy as memorizing lawtracker.

My country would be a empire and swallow all of the above, and more, and I, of course, would be the emperor!

The name? Uhhh, whatever city I started at!

I'd name it "What". I'd like to hear that conversation.

Plus, we have this added bonus:

"What country you from?"
"What?"
"What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?"
"What?"
"English motherf***er, do you speak it?"

:D

I'd call it Heaven, just to annoy Sunday School teachers who want to admonish children :)

There wouldn't be a ruler or government though. Everyone would just have to leave their bad attitude at the border if they want to come in.

I talked once about declaring our own country with a friend of mine. We were going to call it "Yer Maw".

There would be one valley, named "Yer Maw's Canyon", and a mountain named "Mount Yer Maw".. Wouldn't be hard to find a suitable location here in Scotland..

Hilarity would obviously ensue when you see the BBC News talking about "troops invading Yer Maw's Canyon".

And yes, we were a little drunk.

If you don't get it (and not many non-Scots do), google "yer maw". And I hope you're not offended ;)

Imagine that conversation:

Guy #1: So, where are you from?
Guy #2: Yer Maw.
Guy #1: Don't you be talkin' 'bout my ma' like dat! :mad:

Talk about a misunderstanding.

I'm naming my country KeeutFluphyBunneeze. I dare anyone to stand up in press conference telling the world they were going to bomb KeeutFluphyBunneeze

You can just picture the assembled world media going "awww, you can't bomb the poor cuuute leetle fluffie bunnies..." :p

As for Government, I'd setup a two-branch system where the politicial wing is democratically elected and controls law and foreign policy; while the economic wing is composed of a hired management team with set medium and long term objectives. If they meet/exceed their goals, they get bonuses, if they miss them they're fired. (Hah! I bet you weren't expecting KeeutFluphyBunneeze to have a serious government, were you?)

I would call it Fakropia, a small country with Bangkok as its "largest" city and capital , Phuket as its "casual" bachelors travel destination, New Deli "serving" as its food capital and finally "install" a military base in the City of Condom to "stop illegal immigration" coming from Seymen! :D
