Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Sure -- for nouns derived from verbs and adjectives, just...
...like in English. Not for nationalities, which are, what, adjectives or adverbials or something? What, isn't -ian a very common suffix in English...?

Automation, from automate/automatic; gestation, from gestate; maturation, from mature(v/adj); infatuation, from youth and naivety... You chop off any vowels from the end of the verb and add the whole -ion part.

Country and regional names that end in -ia are most all from Latin, like Sarmatia/n, Armenia/n, Arabia/n, Illyria/n(*), Liguria/n, Iberia/n, Catalonia/n, Galicia/n, Lusitania/n(+), Pannonia/n, Hibernia/n... They all end in -ia already(@), so you need just add an -n and keep your fingers off the vowels.

HTH!

*: Of which Dalmatia was a part. For more recent monikers in the same area, see YugoslavIA/N, SerbIA/N, CroatIA/N, RomanIA/N, and BulgarIA/N.
+: Typing this in the Radisson Blu Lisboa.
@: In Latin; English has often replaced this with an -y, but the -ian remains.

New Good catch, Bill! No, not I, but perhaps DrooK? (And you?)
New Fast typing is (I suspect) partially fonetik
I don't think in parts of speech when typing.

New I see that the pilkunnussija mode is ON! :)
I had to dig through old notes to find that one. In colloquial Finish pilkunnussija means comma-fucker, i.e. someone being pedantic.

New Oooh! Even Linus hasn't used that one yet!
New Just stopped myself from nussing a few pilkkus elsewhere...
New For the geographically-challenged:

Lovely part of the world. My sister has been there on holiday a few times and adores the place. Very popular with the Germans, apparently.
New All in slow Wohnautos-"RVs", in Yank-on narrow twisty roads.
