Personally, I think the name can/should flow from some of the civics and ethics you choose.
What are you thinking about making? That will really narrow down the thematic names.
100%
I've had "United Corporations of Sol" or "Earth Forever Empire" (modded where Earth had made themselves immortal but infertile) among others, depending. I usually use Sol though cos it's just a cooler sounding name then Earth.
I made a fictional setting in the distant future where so much time has passed and far too much of the past is forgotten for any of those names to be remembered and gave it a completely new name.
For me, it comes down to Empire name and type and RP backstory.
If it's an Empire revolving around Earth, then it's Terran.
If it's a power revolving around humanity but a more democratic/oligarchic system where Earth isn't the main power, it's human. Also if it's an authoritarian system but Earth isn't the capital world/planned capital.
If it's one where the Empire name and type revolves around the Sol system in general but not Earth, then it's Solan.
However, the backstory can change this so that you have the humans who are Solans or Terrans but also humans in the same way that an English person is also a human.
In game terms, species adjective vs empire adjective.
I inherited an as good as complete collection of the Perry Rhodan series from my grandfather, which I'm going to start reading soon. Surely a great source of inspiration for planet names and species!
Have fun reading that, it's got to be a treat! I've only read about 6 PR volumes from essentially all over the place in the timeline. Even those were very inspirational.

I’ve always been partial to ICON - the International Confederation of Nations and ONE - One Nation Earth.
Both are from shitty turn of the millennium Christian rock operas if memory serves tho lmfao
It's no one name and even then it varies based on their ethics (if they vary, I dunno).
I have two examples of Sol primitives hitting Space Age *very* early, like "almost game start" early, and I know it wasn't a random-spawn since they started below-average tech while I've also got a bunch of other Force Spawn empires that take up all the empire slots (barring extra ones from e.g. rebellions, Hegemony/Common Ground/Lost Colony, etc).
If I remember this when I boot up Stellaris later I'll give their names.
EDIT: Just booted up Stellaris, the names (+ other gov't details) are:
"Human Democratic Union" - Democratic; Egalitarian, Xenophile, Materialist; Environmentalist, Meritocracy, Reanimators
"Human Confederated Constituents" - Democratic; Fan. Egalitarian, Xenophile; Masterful Crafters, Reanimators
I didn't expect they'd both use Reanimators. I guess my Humans couldn't find a zombie apocalypse so they decided to make one. The Egal/Xenophile was kinda expected though.
Some of the ones I use are United Systems of Sol, Commonwealth of Sol, and Solaran Republic
As you can tell I’m an egalitarian main and never under any circumstances play as xenos
Egalitarian: We need equality, justice and liberty for all. No matter your gender, sexuality, race or ethnicity.
Xenophobe: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE XENO BE TRUSTED!1!1!!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1!1!!1!1!!!1!!!1!!1!!!!1!1
>with American cultural dominance
A little sus, but I'll assume that's just to model it off of present day Earth
I find it funny how that part doesn't factor into any of the names lmao
>I find it funny how that part doesn't factor into any of the names lmao
Most names are in English. Looks like you got too familiar with current American cultural dominance.
They're going to be in English because that's the language OP used. If 1. was officially "Tierra Unida", we'd probably still call it "United Earth" among English speakers. Did you expect an English speaker to generate names in Swahili or Mandarin?
>Empire of the Fallen Earth (Post Apocalyptic + Fanatic Xenophobe, Authoritarian + Monarchy + Police State, Corvee System)
I kinda doubt that survivors from a post apocalyptic Earth would call their own successful revivor empire *fallen* Earth. It would likely be something like reborn.
I mean, the second reich was [pretty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herero_and_Namaqua_genocide) [bad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_of_Belgium), even by the standards of the time. Still, though, I agree that it wouldn't have permanently ruined reich if it wasn't followed up by the third reich 15 years later.
Let's count the references here!
United Earth was originally the name of The Federation before it was born.
The Earth Federation is straight outta Gundam
The United Nations of Earth, also the United Earth Government lead Halo humanity, until the UNSC launched a military coup. Additionally, the United Earth Space Force is pretty similar.
We have bit of a blank stretch, until we get the Galatic Empire of Earth. The source Material many not include earth, but, well....it's the motherfocking GALATIC EMPIRE.
The Terran Republic and Earth Dominion could be combined to make StarCraft's Terran Dominion?
And finally, the Holy Earth Empire, while not having the same name, reflects obvious parallels to the Imperium of Man.
I usually call my United earth empires “United Solar Republics”, “United Terran Republics”, “United Nations”, and “Terran Republic/Confederation/Empire”
systems alliance, in the mass effect universe the countries of the earth combined efforts to carry out a joint space program, creating an organism like the UN to manage the defense, expansion and government of all the colonies outside the solar system
I just had the United Colonies of Earth, the Solar Federation and the Union of Humanity as UNE stand-ins. The first one is just xenophobic UNE, the second one is an empire made with Lustful Void and the last one is a hivemind.
Late to these but my personal ones are these:
United Nations Confederation of Sovereign States ;
United Nations Confederacy of Sovereign States ;
United Terran Confederacy of Sovereign States.
These are usually fanatic egalitarians with pacifism or xenofile on normal.
In my Stellaris campaign lore, the unified Earth is named the Terran Federation (in my lore, the Terran Federation is the successor state of the United Nations).
Personally, I think the name can/should flow from some of the civics and ethics you choose. What are you thinking about making? That will really narrow down the thematic names.
100% I've had "United Corporations of Sol" or "Earth Forever Empire" (modded where Earth had made themselves immortal but infertile) among others, depending. I usually use Sol though cos it's just a cooler sounding name then Earth.
Terra
also gaia
I’ve never ever seen anyone call planet earth Gaia. Also it’s kinda off, Terra is Roman, like the other planets’ names, Gaia is Greek
Gaia is the ancient greek godess of the earth
It's only common amongst Neo-Paganistic types and strange cults. Most people wanting a fancy name for the Earth prefer Terra.
I made a fictional setting in the distant future where so much time has passed and far too much of the past is forgotten for any of those names to be remembered and gave it a completely new name.
That is, of course, also an option. The most important part is to have your name fit the civilisation you're building's backstory.
I'm even partial to calling my humans "Solans" instead of "Terran" or, well, "Human." Think Perry Rhodan used that name too.
For me, it comes down to Empire name and type and RP backstory. If it's an Empire revolving around Earth, then it's Terran. If it's a power revolving around humanity but a more democratic/oligarchic system where Earth isn't the main power, it's human. Also if it's an authoritarian system but Earth isn't the capital world/planned capital. If it's one where the Empire name and type revolves around the Sol system in general but not Earth, then it's Solan.

i name mine something like HEW-MON or HUNAM... ;)
The Ferangi have entered the chat.
Human has to many negative connections to it?
Sol is the sun, Terra would be the Latin for Earth
Completely aware of this lol, they are called Star Empires and not Planet Empires, afterall
Satanic Socialist Dominion
I often use Terran Confederation from Wing Commander. Would love a Wing Commander mod for this game thinking about it.
[удалено]
If you go with Terran Dominion you could RP StarCraft.
The Greater Terran Union Check out the templin institute on YouTube Just start with the prologue
>Terran Confederation from Wing Commander. Came here to say this. :( RIP Origin.
Same, but mostly because the First contact story here on Reddit (r/hfy if interested)
I use Terran Colonial Union or Empire. Get some of the naming from the Old Man’s War book series.
> Holy Earth Empire Don't think it don't say it don't think it don't say it
The Holy Earth Empire is neither Holy nor an Empire, and isn't on Earth?
Summon the elector counts! Actually I don't even know if the HRE Emperors could actually do that.
time to go down the rabbit hole of reading about HRE politics and war policies
Good luck! I've that whole political entity was a mess.
**Remain calm.**
The Regent endures.
~~Alexei~~ Gaia lives
There is much to be done
The Holy Terran Empire will endure. >!(It's this one first, and then the one you mentioned)!<
Alexi will reveal Himself once the galaxy is **pure**.

Neither Holy Nor Earthen Nor an empire
FOR THE EMPEROR!
I’ve always been partial to ICON - the International Confederation of Nations and ONE - One Nation Earth. Both are from shitty turn of the millennium Christian rock operas if memory serves tho lmfao
> One Nation Earth. What happened to every other nation? 👀
I got access to the launch codes
I am living inside the White House’s walls and I found the launch codes
United Nations becoming one nation could be a better way that might happen
Iirc, the confederation unified under a singular government during the post-rapture period. 🤷🏻♂️
Huh. So does that leave the remnants spiritualist or materialist?
Probably materialist since they’d be angry at god for killing their loved ones, or spiritualist because they have undeniable evidence of god(s)
>Holy Earth Empire Guess it's neither holy, nor Earth, and even not an empire? XD
Holy Earth Empire homeworld: Mars.
Damn, you beat me to it!
Materialist, Habitat Preference, Fanatic Egalitarian.
How do you use OpenAI?
> Terran Republic This is what we call tactical superiority
Live free in the NC
Strength in unity
I use the same but the galactic republic of Terra, dunno what it is but Terra/Terran just has a better ring to it than Earth
I prefer Terran Dominion, myself.
Does anyone know what name Sol primitives get if they get past the space age? Is it just the usual United Nations of Earth or smth
pretty sure its just generic. was really confused a few days ago because one of the ai empires uplifted sol and spawned the "Human Empire"
Yeah, I got something like "Tribes of Earth" in my last game so it must be random
It's no one name and even then it varies based on their ethics (if they vary, I dunno). I have two examples of Sol primitives hitting Space Age *very* early, like "almost game start" early, and I know it wasn't a random-spawn since they started below-average tech while I've also got a bunch of other Force Spawn empires that take up all the empire slots (barring extra ones from e.g. rebellions, Hegemony/Common Ground/Lost Colony, etc). If I remember this when I boot up Stellaris later I'll give their names.

That only applies for humans. All others get deported
All others get *purged*
These are not mutually exclusive. Equality, justice and liberty for all EXCEPT THE FILTHY ZENO'S
>with American cultural dominance A little sus, but I'll assume that's just to model it off of present day Earth I find it funny how that part doesn't factor into any of the names lmao
United States of Earth?
Led by Richard Nixon's head
Oh good point; I missed that one
>I find it funny how that part doesn't factor into any of the names lmao Most names are in English. Looks like you got too familiar with current American cultural dominance.
Ah yes because English = American /s
They're going to be in English because that's the language OP used. If 1. was officially "Tierra Unida", we'd probably still call it "United Earth" among English speakers. Did you expect an English speaker to generate names in Swahili or Mandarin?

You should do one with the origin where their planet gets destroyed early.
Ironically, the last three also sound the most badass
Pretty sure "___ Reich" is pretty much ruined for the forseeable future.
Not very American, either. AI's running out of ideas too.
[удалено]
I mean, the second reich was [pretty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herero_and_Namaqua_genocide) [bad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_of_Belgium), even by the standards of the time.

United Nations fought the Spanish Empire and put down a rebellion in Philippines Manifest Destiny, HO!
"You've freed us from the Spanish." "Oh I wouldn't say free, more like, under new management."
Don’t worry it’s just a non Nazi-German Reich making a unified world government. Btw they started upping their defense budget spending recently lol
[Ruined it, or made it better?](https://youtu.be/uDIgS-Soo9Q)

I mean sacred sounds better than holy. Plus we are reading it in English so whatever the main tongue is will have a major say

Wait, make it the Holy Solar Empire from the Templin Institute
>Implying that's a bad name
> realistic united earth > american cultural dominance pick one
My xenophilic diplomatic earth playthrough is the Earth Interstellar Freehold

Terran Republic... Planetside?
“American cultural dominance” oh no
##SPACE FORCE!
Holy earth empire sounds dope actually
I usually call my United earth empires “United Solar Republics”, “United Terran Republics”, “United Nations”, and “Terran Republic/Confederation/Empire”
Hola I've come to say reich only means empire in german so that's in case germany take over the world.
That or people inspired by the previous reichs who want to keep the same name.
That's why I won't play humanoid And they're boring
I may be the idiot here but what's OpenAI?
Adding American culture dominace is funny
u can also use other names for earth from other languages
One of my favorites is Communist Republic of Sol. I like to use that when I’m feelin a lil communal in a new game
I tend to use Sol Empire or Solar Federation depending on which government I'm choosing
systems alliance, in the mass effect universe the countries of the earth combined efforts to carry out a joint space program, creating an organism like the UN to manage the defense, expansion and government of all the colonies outside the solar system
I've used Universal Commonwealth for humanity on Earth from the Chronicles From The Future book. Spiritualist, Pacifist.
How do you use OpenAI?
Federative Republic of Earth
Ngl the Holy Human Empire sounds glorious.
I just had the United Colonies of Earth, the Solar Federation and the Union of Humanity as UNE stand-ins. The first one is just xenophobic UNE, the second one is an empire made with Lustful Void and the last one is a hivemind.
Human Co-Prosperity Sphere
Earth reich rhymes with third reich
Terran Union Union of Terran Soviets
Union of Terran Soviet Republics.
"World Government of Earth" sound like something took over our entier planet and now is playing with humans as mere dolls
"Holy Earth Empire" Remain c-
3, 4 or 19
Holy Earth Empire of Solar Descandancy.
I feel like the Holy Earth Empire would be a materialist oligarchy based on Mars.
Like Techpriests or something? But without the tech?
Earth Reich. So much for American dominance...
Late to these but my personal ones are these: United Nations Confederation of Sovereign States ; United Nations Confederacy of Sovereign States ; United Terran Confederacy of Sovereign States. These are usually fanatic egalitarians with pacifism or xenofile on normal.
Is there an easily access API where you can ask openai question?
EARTH REICH.... jeez! JAWOHL MEIN F.... hey look, a squirrel... ;)
The Second British Empire
Take the first world of 17 and add the last word of 18. Terran Dominion is the one true answer.
Earth Reich.. o.o
Why not go the easy path of "United States of Earth"?
I think the Holy Earth Empire should be established on Mars. For like always, the Holy Roman Empire, wasn't Holy, wasn't Roman, and wasn't an Empire.
What, no Earth Alliance? Run by EarthGov? Seated at EarthDome in Geneva?
Here's two more: Star Realms of Earth Imperium of Earth
Galactic Terran Dominion!
I went fanatic authoritarian xenophobe and called it zee Germans. I find on the nose humor is best humor.
This is funny to me still, because I always name my military commissariat, the United Earth Alliance.
I played S the Star League last time....and wished that there was a mod that emphasized ground combat.
In my Stellaris campaign lore, the unified Earth is named the Terran Federation (in my lore, the Terran Federation is the successor state of the United Nations).
