| Message | One problem: The divisions below state on the mainland (i.e. Klupticana, Poppistan, Lucid Valley, Yoshimi, West Vrassa, etc) are called "districts." (They're called "counties" on Ananto, except for the Kaliburg-Port Davon Federal District. Do you want to keep "state" or rename them something else? Or, if you really want "district," we can rename the other things. (We could switch it around, call the current states districts, and the districts states. . .) / |

| Message | hmmm... interesting point. How about "provinces"? I'm all about decreasing federalism, and states suggests far too much sovereignty in that sense. |

| Message | Or "departments"? That is a high bureaucratic term... |

| Message | Departments sounds good. Do you mind if some of the universities continue to use "state" in thier names? It's very Kalistani, actually to have both, for example, Vrassa State University and Vrassa Department[al] University. |
