After Bulgarian girl's victory in Miss Wirtland Contest received wide coverage in Bulgarian newspapers and TV, several articles on Wirtland appeared in leading Turkish mass media, such as "
Sabah", "
Hurriyet", "
Aktif Haber", "
Milliyet", "
Sok", and even
CNN Turk. Turkish journalists coined a new word to better represent Wirtland in eastern languages: "
Hayalistan". Coverage in Turkey already resulted in increase in new citizens signing up in Wirtland - not only from Turkey but also from such countries as Egypt and Afghanistan. Welcome to Wirtland or
Selam, Hayalistan!
P.S. Explanations of the meaning of the word "Hayalistan" will be appreciated - as comments to this post.

Hayalistan means Dream Country
I think "Imaginary Land" is a more appropriate translation of "Hayalistan".
