Considering my magazine title


When I was considering my magazine title I simply searched ‘country’ into the thesaurus Google which gave me many words to consider using as my title. The final two titles that I couldn’t decide between were ‘Countrified’ and ‘Outland’. I agreed that they were both good titles for a country magazine that would show audiences what the magazine was offering and clearly show what it is about. Finally I decided that ‘Countrified’ would be the most effective title for my magazine as it describes the rural and rustic theme I am trying to convey with in my magazine.

country really refers to geographical characteristics while nation refers to political and social characteristics; country comes from Latin contrata (terra) 'the landscape in front of one, the landscape lying opposite to the view' and nation is from Latin nation-/natio 'race, class of person'
a
nation is made up of states - and a country is a nation defined geographically
