"For what we are about to receive..." was the title of the thread that opened the first true world recwar. In the thread, the Dinarchy of Antica invaded The Red Antilles. After a fierce 10 day battle, Antica conquered the northern island of Red Antilles, and carved out a little chunk for itself, naming it (temporarily) OOB-1 (overseas operations base 1). This utilitarian name was placed upon it by the commanding officer of the Antican troops in the Red Antillean theatre. The actual origins of "for what we are about to receive" is quite simple. It was a prayer that English sailors said before going into battle during the age of fighting sail. This name was chosen because the invasion was planned to ward off an invasion of Babkha, which was being planned by the Comintern forces.
