Ishval
In the main definition os Amestris, it's stated: "The province of Ishval, which was annexed to Amestris 14 years before the beginning of the series, in the East of Amestris, is ethnically and culturally different of the rest of country: the people there are very religious, and most of them are against alchemy."

But, according to the manga, there was no annexation of Ishval: it was already a part of Amestris prior to the Ishval Civil War, and exacty because of that, it was called a Civil War and not an Annexation War. It is unknow when did Amestris invaded that nation.--Turdaewen 12:16, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Citizens
Amestrians or Amestrisians? The Viz manga translation has it "Amestrian", but the FUNimation subtitles for Brotherhood has it as "Amestrisian". I'm partial to Amestrian, but I'm not sure which one y'all think makes more sense. In the end, we'll have to settle on one or the other for all pages. CorbeauKarasu 04:37, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Well, it should be "Amestrians"... There's no right or wrong in this case, since it's a choice of translation and not something already stablished in the Japanese version.... I go with "Amestrians". It sounds better, to me. Turdaewen 13:47, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
