Head of state is called Marquis de Lafayette XXXVI, which refer to a real life city, as well as a real life person. Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette.
I have tried to reach that person and tell him to change this name. but nothing to do.

I would urge caution over going down the route of banning surnames which mention RL locations. To my knowledge, banning these has not been done previously. Seriously, there are countless surnames out there which feature the name of a real-life region, city, town, village, lake, mountain, etc.. Often players will not be aware of the RL reference, especially where it comes from a country they do not know well. Many of these surnames will turn up in the random name generators players often rely on for character naming.

We always make players aware when they are using RL references in their names be it politicians, cities or landmarks. If we encounter someone using a RL reference we kindly make them aware through a in-game message

Player will be messaged about Holstein and Hindenburg since they are rather known. The others are so small that its understandable that they could have been used since they are not commonly known.

Reporting Crash Landon, once again

For the same reason

Marquis de Lafayette XXXVI is not an appropriate variable because it is obviously taken from a real-life variable.
And there is no Lafeyette town in Kanjor, so there can't be a Marquis that town

here is his party : http://classic.particracy.net/viewparty ... tyid=36161

You already messaged him once.
