Sure, particularly if we're talking Germany just after WW2.

More because their land is very fertile due to volcanic ash.

It sounds more like the name of a physical location rather than a polity of some sort.

>>54968604
Try Aschenreich, Aschereich or Kohlenreich

It sounds great when pronounced properly, but I shudder to imagine all the "colon-reich" jokes you might get.

Aschenreich sounds pretty cringy in German though.
Aschenfeld sounds like a normal German name for a city or a region which could have risen to empire size.

>>54968604
Try Arschfeld

I think it's decent. German here.

Not as good as Ash Monkey Fortress.

Germanic empires were rarely named after their capital cities/regions, though. Österreich not Wien or Wienreich, Deutsches Kaiserreich not Kaiserreich Preußen like the old Koenigsreich Preußen.

There was the HRE, but that was a weird exception of claiming the seniority and religious authority of a dead empire while rarely ever actually holding Rome; even its German potions ended up Deutsches Reich, rather than a greater Saxe or Bayern.

Naming after a central region also really takes a lot away from that German flavor of bickering city-states and dukedoms crammed together into a loose coalition.

I'd give the people living in the territory an identity - doesn't have to be deeply rooted or overly /pol/, the original German identity was just a genetic mishmash of Common-speakers with feudal bonds to a particular Frankish prince - and then name it after that, unless it happens have an easy directional description.
