The Gulf of Lyon was probably named after the city of Lyons. The letter y was also commonly used in both French and English in place of the letter i. For instance, my last name, Leroux, is a derivative of Le Roy, which is "the king" (or nowadays, Le Roi).

Hi guys,
 
an attentive  player has noted an embarrassing glitch on the large map. The Tyrrhenian was labeled as "Ionian Sea", which is of course nothing other than a snafu of mine. Thanks for catching that! I've attached a correct map.
 
While at it, note that I've opted for the name "Gulf of Lion" over "Gulf of Lyon". That's etymologically more correct and the latter version probably originates from some old cartographer having slept at the switch.
 
Cheers,
 
Charles

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
