[Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
Fellow Senators,
What shall we call our Union? Currently the constitutional name is "Riqi Adurellion" (which is Elw for "State of the Elwynnese lands") while we use "Elwynn, Amokolia and Hurmu" as the colloquial name.
But if the Union gets bigger, with more member States, we can't keep add their names to the EAH thing, so we may need to consider a name for the union that remains the name after new members join or if a member leaves.
Some ideas:
Union of Free Lands
Alondor le Aduraurai
B'-Uktalo w-Alok-ka An'eblenel
Union of [place where the new constitution is signed, for example the "Eliria Union"]
Union of Holy Waters (Alondor Ui le Vearel, Uktalo w-Kwaj-ka Nuret )

The Union State is the term that I prefer to continue using.
Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
Union of States (Alondor le Riqi) perhaps? "Union States" for short.
Or maybe not... US

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
As people do and will keep referring to the Union as Elwynn (over the other constituent nations, would it not be reasonable to include her name in any new name for the Union?

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
I like the Holy Waters idea. That way it doesn't get too long and doesn't favor one particular state.

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
How about:
Alondor le Riqi Adurellion o Antikanion, or the Very Holy People's Democratic Union State of the Waters of Elwynn, the Fountains of Antica, the Springs of Amokolia, the Lakes of Hurmu and the Rivers of Tirlar
or is that a bit over the top, even for us?

Almost Stormarkian. I prefer the succinctness of the Union State

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
That's even blander and more generic than the Grand Commonwealth.

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
Perhaps something like "Union of
- " for the long name of the Union State, and just "Union State" or "Union" as short-form names?

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
What of "The Union of Three Countries/States/etc" (Elw: Alondor Adurzera, Hurmumol: B'-Uktalo w-Kor), and then we update the number depending on how many states there are.
"State of Three Countries" could work too (Riqi Adurzera, B'-Alo w-Nak'-ka w-Kor)

Union State makes me think of Union Suit. This pleases me.

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
I'm also fond of the Union State. For a multicultural federation like us it is important to be neutral and it implies we are a single people, united by our diversity. The Union of E, A, H, etc. would be fine for the official long name.

Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
I'm in agreement with the Prince on this.
Re: [Constitutional Committee] The name of the Union
Can we say that we have reached consensus on the name? If so, I'll update the draft constitution.

Looks like it, so feel free to do that.
