I've always liked referring to Novatainia and Tokidoki as Nova and Toki, but I suppose if you want three letter abbreviations and not four (NOVA and TOKI) yours are fine ...

I'm actually rather impessed ... :wink:

Surely a CIS citizen should be a confederate?
But nice work anyway- you're one of the first not to spell 'Matbaic' as 'Matbaaic' or 'Matbaan'; something which thoroughly annoys me.
Perhaps some of the abbreviations could work for car numberplates on Micras? :wink:

Well? I think it'd go pretty well- at least I can tell now which cars to shoot off the streets (all those labelled BAB, perchance :wink: )!

For USSC, if you're talking about adjectives, an alternative is Colian (in addition to Colish) eg. A Colish Ice-cream = A Colian Ice-cream.
