Anyone else for now? We can add more later

Forum: Public (although I'm still not sure what's different than "Moderated" - which is not Invite Only)

I think that's it. I don't remember anything else on the application, except for a description, which I can handle.

Nation is Natio in Latin.

So it would be ProVari Natio or Natio Provari...whatever.

...Trust a blonde, but always check her work. ;)

If you need more mods, I guess I could help out from time to time, but I am a lazy slacker at heart, and prone to shirk my duties. :p

It's actually not. But ;)

I did say I'd be willingly to help mod.

Yours sounds weird. Neener neener. :p

The word nation came to English from the Old French word nacion, which in turn originates from the Latin word natio (nātĭō) literally meaning "that which has been born".[2]

As an example of how the word natio was employed in classical Latin, the following quote from Cicero's Philippics Against Mark Antony in 44 BC contrasts the external, inferior nationes ("races of people") with the Roman civitas ("community"):

"Omnes nationes servitutem ferre possunt: nostra civitas non potest."
("All races are able to bear enslavement, but our community cannot.")

—Cicero, Orationes: Pro Milone, Pro Marcello, Pro Ligario, Pro rege Deiotaro
From wikipedia, which I trust about as much as Google translate.
We'd be better off going with ProVari Civitas (community), which at least sounds cool.
