Of course you can play! (m)

After all, you are my inspiration. Thanks for the advice about the ages, but I'm pretty good with keeping up with them so I think (I hope!) I'll be all right. By the way, I liked reading your story. =) And yes, it was me who wrote, as you put it, the really intricate historical text. That's what you get when you're studying history in college, I guess.

I could actually use some help coming up with names for the nations. I'm OK with the family names, but for country names I'm drawing huge blanks. Anything Germanic, Gallic, and/or Slavic is style is totally welcome.

What I often do is type random words into some translation service until I find a few that I can combine or modify to make dignified country names. Also don't worry about subtlety.

Slavic ones are harder because of the different characters, I usually just modify Russian sounding things or play around with V's until I come up with something. But you can also play around with the Russian translators and try to work around the different characters.
