conlangistan

This is the default country name in the Conlang Slang Phrasebook, intended to be replaced by the person filling it out with their own fictional country's name as they fill in the translations for the phrases. It may also appear in a few other publications by the same author intended to help people get started on making their nation seem more real. Other usages may be derived from this, but are most likely subconscious influence and not meant in the sense of a placeholder country whose name is intended to be replaced. One cite, from an in-person conference about conlanging, seems to use the name in the sense of the conlang community, not as a placeholder name or a name for a fictional nation created by someone in the community. Therefore, even if we can come up with the required three cites, I suspect they won't be bound to a single common meaning. —Soap— 14:15, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
