The name 'Aquitanian' is believed to originate from the latin term for the western French region of Gallia Aquitania, (modern-day 'Aquitaine' in France), and has been often used as a trading route between France, Helvore, and Spain, hence its nickname 'Sea of the Three Flags'. Historically, many wars have been fought between the two nations, in particularly the Aquitanian War of Dominion, between the allied Spanish and French forces against the Helvorans for control of Erinier.
