Description:

This a newly remade minimod aimed at fixing one of the smaller nuisances in Stellaris – the fact that seemingly every empire in the galaxy is named after the species that rules it. This is a fine old sci-fi cliche, but its silliness starts to become a lot more apparent when you run into the "Human Federation".

This mod adjusts the available empire name formats, as well as their generation chances, resulting in a broader range of possible empire names, most of which will be named after their home planet. Some examples of names generated using this mod include:

• The Assembly of Stars
• The Xania Union
• The United Nations of Earth
• The Kingdom of Sejeth
• The Kenjodan Dominion
• The People’s Democratic Socialist Republic of Sanacan
• The International Space Agency
• The Warriors of the Bloody Flame
• The United Federation of Planets
• The United Nations Space Command
• The Covenant
• The People’s Federation of Peoples

(hey, nobody’s perfect)
