Naming of National Wonders

$

One of the things that breaks immersion for me in Civ IV is how some of the National Wonders are named for singular institutions/objects etc. For example, there is one West Point in the world--it's about 60 miles up the Hudson River from New York City. There is one Oxford University--it's in Oxford, England about 80 miles south of London. One solution would be to give all the National Wonders "generic" names like National Park or Heroic Epic (so West Point would be National Military Academy and Oxford University would be National University). But that would be boring.

A more interesting solution would be to give each civilization it's own unique names for the various National Wonders. I invite you to come up with appropriate names for the various civilizations in the game. I'll start by taking America:

National Epic: Evangiline
Heroic Epic: Star Wars
Statuary (aka Moi Statues): National Statuary Hall Collection
National Cultural Center (aka Globe Theater): Lincoln Center
Secondary Capitol (aka The Forbidden Palace): Cheyenne Mountain (could go with Camp David, but that's a little close to DC).
Cultural Palace (aka the Hermitage): I'll have to think about this one
National University: Harvard (sorry Yalies).
National Military Academy: West Point (duh!)
National Shrine (aka Mount Rushmore): Mount Rushmore (duh!)
Ironworks: Carnegie Steel (must change name of city it's built in to Pittsburgh :goodjob: )
National Park: Yellowstone
National Hospital (aka Red Cross): Walter Reed Hospital
National Stock Exchange (aka Wall Street): Wall Street (duh!)

Cheers!
