Gang, Encyclopedia is what you want me to name your encyclopedia sub-forum. For Britain, it's just "Encyclopedia", or "Encyclopaedia". In Spanish it might be "Enciclopedia". In German it might be "Enzyklopädie".

Oh. In that case, Encyclopedia can work.

I'd like to add the forum "Nation that all the Illegal Immigrants come from" :P

Wikipedia lists the following French name and English translation for the First French Empire:
Empire Français
French Empire

That's what I based it on.
If anyone is good with French grammar, then I'd be appreciative of help.

Sam,

If you Type 'Empire of Acadia' you get 'Empire de l'Acadie.'
If you type 'Acadian Empire' you get 'Acadien Empire.'

The second version is more how I intended it to work- the name doesn't mean so much 'the empire of the Acadian peoples' as it does 'an empire named Acadia'... which is I think where the translation is getting touchy. I ran both versions through Babelfish- and also 'Kingdom of Acadia' and a few other alternative names. I just figured that if Napoleon IV's father was an emperor, so he would settle for no lesser title.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in old Baghdad;

I approve
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
