Hey, language people (including bootknife), do you have any idea what modern term would be used as "country", in the same way that "-polis" is used for "city"?
I'm trying to work out a word to describe an entire nation run by necromancy. I would think of "necropolis" as a "city of the dead", but what about an entire country or region? Or would "necropolis" stretch enough for that?
