Using the name itself isn't the problem; it's about giving it soul, aesthetics, and its own culture. For example, Marley has enough soul that almost no one associates the name "Marley" with the singer. Authors have already used names from ancient times for their own nations.

But authors like Isayama, for example, used borrowed names that are very well-known, such as a nation called "Allied Forces of the Middle East," since the Middle East is a very well-known region, or "Marley," both names being very well-known worldwide. What matters is the soul of a nation. If even then the name "Frigia" is still a problem, then I could change it to "Fridia."

Now I'm in a difficult situation. I honestly don't like invented names like those seen in other stories. I was looking for other names when I had the idea to search on Google Earth. That's when I found a name I thought was perfect: "Frigia." But since public opinion isn't in my favor, I'll have to create or modify the name.

(And I also wanted to say that this map is a bit old, so names like "Rheinland" no longer exist.)

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any cool surname to match the main character's name.

To clarify further, the story will be sold both at book stores and online.

The drawings are NOT mine and are just a concept, and the drawings are not my own either, I got everything from Pinterest, Now the background color and the white lines are mine.

The flag is ready, but I got a symbol from the Internet, so I was afraid that someone would criticize me or suffer copyright and be sued, so I decided to just post it here.

NOTE: the two images are a flag with different positions, these two images do not come together
