History Main / Egopolis

** In "Stew and Stewie's Excellent Adventure", Stewie sees the world of thirty years from now and is surprised it looks the same. His future self says it ''has'' only been thirty years, but he was expectiong legions of followers and statues of himself.

* Rezopolis, from ''VideoGame/{{Gex}}''.

** The King (Mickey Mouse) in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''. Though he's on your side, you have to wonder about a king who stamps his silhouette on damn near everything in his realm....

** ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'': As the name would suggest, Neo Bowser City from Star Cup is one, being named after the evil Koopa King. It returns later in ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' as a DLC NostalgiaLevel (and late present as part of the base content of ''8 Deluxe'').

* In the episode of ''Recap/TintinTintinAndThePicaros'', General Tapioca, after becoming dictator of the Republic of [=SanTeodoro=], changes the name of the country's capital to Tapiocápolis.

* The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' episode, "Megatron's Master Plan." The Autobots have been driven from Earth and Megatron conquers a city. Megs: "I christen this city Megatronia One! Soon there will be many more!"

* In ''Literature/Overlord2012'', Ainz names his territory, "The Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown", after taking [[spoiler:E-Rantel and effectively subjugating the Belaruth Empire.]]

* In several of the 3D ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games, Eggman's stated ambition is to conquer the country/world and rename it "The Eggman Empire" or "Eggmanland." Its capital will be Station Square, which he will rename "Robotnikland". In ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' Eggman actually ''succeeds'' in creating Eggmanland, which is effectively a CircusOfFear and an EternalEngine [[HailfirePeaks combined into one level theme]]. Fittingly enough, it's considered by many to be the hardest level in the game and one of the hardest levels in the entire ''Sonic'' franchise.

** You wouldn't know just from playing ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', but the empire's capital of Palamecia is actually the last name of its leader, Mateus Palamecia. Not unrealistic, as lots of ruling houses either lent their name to the land they owned or vice versa. Too bad [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Him The Emperor]], and you only learn his real name in [[AllThereInTheManual the (Japan-only) novelization]], also that none of them seem to go into detail about which was "Palamecia" first, the country or the imperial line.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'', this happens to a modest little frontier town that the heroes help get established. Over time, the village's leader starts seriously abusing their power, until, at the height of their reign, they're practically living like a king. The twist? [[spoiler: Said egomaniac is the Merchant you convinced to settle down there in the first place and help it grow.]]
* PlayedForLaughs in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'': after you help Sim build up his new town to a certain point, he decides it's time to give it a name and has three suggestions for it. All three follow this naming convention, but are variants on your ''hero'''s name. Reject all three, and he gives you the chance to name it whatever you wish.

* ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}'': Karl Knave, the villain of the "Chillogy" episodes, makes his residence in a miniature town he rules called Karlsville.

* ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'': Lex Luthor has already planned to rename at least a dozen cities with some form of "Lex" or "Luthor" following completion of his plot. Luthorville, Marina del Lex, etc. Humorously, he gets angry when his henchman tries to name a town "Otisburg", so much so he makes him erase it from his makeshift map.

* Brain of ''[[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain]]'' tried it a few times. [[Recap/PinkyAndTheBrainS1E5 He gets his own island country]] in a bid for US foreign aid, naming it Brainania. He then goes on to name every single feature of the island after himself (at least until Pinky gives him PuppyDogEyes, resulting in the Fjord of Pinky.) In another episode, where he does end up in control of the Earth -- by making a duplicate out of papier-mache and convincing everyone else to go there with free T-shirts -- he renames the original Earth "Brainus", presumably following the pattern of either Venus or Uranus. The new planet, on the other hand, was Chia Earth.

* Subverted in ''Literature/{{Deepsix}}''. The protagonists are irritated to hear that various geographical features they've just discovered on an unexplored planet have been named after influential figures the bureaucrats back home are trying to butter up. So what's new, you ask? The planet is about to be destroyed by a ColonyDrop, so all this sycophancy is completely worthless.

* In several of the 3D ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games, Eggman's stated ambition is to conquer the country/world and rename it "The Eggman Empire" or "Eggmanland." Its capital will be Station Square, which he will rename "Robotnikland". In ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' Eggman actually ''succeeds'' in creating Eggmanland, which is effectively a CircusOfFear and an EternalEngine [[HailfirePeaks in one.]] Fittingly enough, it's considered by many to be the hardest level in the game and one of the hardest levels in the entire Sonic ''franchise.''

* In ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'', the Biff Tannen of 1985-A turns Hill Valley into a [[{{Dystopia}} dystopian]] egopolis, complete with a casino/museum all about his life in this alternate timeline.

* In the ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' setting, the domain of Markovia is named for its darklord, Frantisek Markov. Strahd von Zarovich came close to this trope, re-naming the highlands he'd reclaimed from invaders "Barovia" after his father, King Barov.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'', there is a subsector of space named the ''Five Sisters'' because a BoldExplorer named five planets after his [[DaddysGirl five daughters.]]
* While it is rare in the modern day of the setting, ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'', all of the Five Nations of Galifar as well as Galifar itself fell here -- when Karrn the Conqueror forged a kingdom, he named it Karrnath. When Galifar used Karrnath as a base to conquer the continent, he named the united kingdom Galifar, and put his children as governors of each of the Five Nations... each of which soon was renamed for their new governors (except for Karrnath, as it was already named for the namesake of its governor, Galifar's eldest son Karrn).

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' the necromancer Nagash rules his undead legions from his fortress of Nagashizzar.
* In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the largest structure on Earth, built after the Emperor's conquest of the planet and during his expansion into the galaxy, is basically an arcology-capital for the entire Imperium and was intended to be such from the beginning. It houses a population of billions, including major institutions of the early Imperium. Its name? The Emperor's Palace.

* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'': With the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen old Queen Zeal]] and the [[TheThreeWiseMen pesky gurus]] gone, [[TheStarscream Dalton]] was quickly to rename the Kingdom of Zeal to the Kingdom of Dalton. He also captured and modified the Epoch to transforms it into the Aero Dalton Imperial, a flying throne fitting for the new King.

* ''Monster Girl Quest!'' has a number of locations named for the Goddess Ilias. There's the Ilias continent, on which can be found the city of Iliasburg, the port town of Iliasport, the village of Iliasville/Ilias Village (depending on the translation) and the temple of Ilias Temple.
