yeah. i went to an estonian-english translator.

The other nation Esti Kroon means 'estonian crown'

when i typed in 'Kiht' i got 'bed.' idk though cause 'pohjakiht' and 'pohja' both came up empty

after some more digging, "pohja" is found in a million different phrases/words..most describing a location, like "Americas' is 'pohja blah blah blah' so it makes sense i guess. 'kiht' means bed, layer, coating, seam... so idk what to make of it lol. assistance from any estonian would be appreciated lol

It's actully põhja, which means north. Kiht means a layer.. but those 2 words together have few different meanings. I'll ask SkyCat later what he meant with it, never really thought about the name lol. Skycat has used that nation name for a long time now.. I guess he just got stuck to it.
Eesti Kroon is actully the currency we use in Estonia, which indicates EEK being cashers I guess.

you learn something new every day. im still curious as to what pohjakiht means though. and yes, i knew there was a tilde or somethin over the o but dont know how to write it. i shouldve known it meant north because i got listed 'north america' and the arctic ocean... i doubt their nation means 'north layer' though lol

Well Estonian English dictionary says :

dregs of society ühiskonna põhjakiht

lowlife põhjakiht, põhjakäinud inimene, pätt

I don't think so...
This phrase dregs of society- ühiskonna(society) põhjakiht illustrates my understanding of this word.

this name is some 4 years old, i made nation with this name in old-endless in domination (estonian version) as my one man tag

pohjakiht: dregs of society

but time more an KIHT was finaly most biggest, strongest and powerful nation in old-nation - the real dominate'r in this world ;) who control everything using own and his allays massive military power (400-500 states, 6-7 strong nations)

old-endless was world where set was some 2 years long, and was some 2000-5000 players totally
admin ends this finally due KIHT and his allys was taking everthing and was killing for some 2/3 of all players

does it honestly matter? if it does google it or make another stupid thread in general discussions they don't have enough as it is

Does it really matter? In the grand scheme of things, no it doesn't. But, sometimes it's pretty interesting (at least to me) to actually know where someone's name or nation tag comes from. Evidently other people do too, otherwise there wouldn't be 2 full pages of posts discussing this, so if its something that doesn't interest you or that you find to be "another stupid thread" then simply put, don't look at it. There's more than enough other threads for you to entertain yourself with.
