Voting deadline: November 3339
Description[?]:
(OOC: THIS WOULD Formally change the name of our nation to al-Ittihad al-Ishtiraki al-Sultanah THE LATINIZED Translation of الاتحاد الاشتراكي السلطنة WHICH WAS SUCCESSFULLY VOTED With over 2/3rds of the vote, as our formal name, but rejected due to CUPA declaring it blasphemy but then voting yes without explaining why, as well as confusion over which version of the name we agreed upon by Moderators. FOR A FEW MINUTES Our nation was called الاتحاد الاشتراكي السلطنة and this aligned proper with my Western browser margins and all that. BUT TO MAKE IT EASIER We propose to change the name of our nation to al-Ittihad al-Ishtiraki al-Sultanah. We, alongside Al Democraty and whomever else wish to help, will make a formal bill with background info and help for new parties, as well as proper translation. A prospective new party should learn about our nation's history, not simply join because that want to be in a nation with "socialist" in the title (This now Infamous Ikradonian-esque Ideological Interest Inflation Incident which has resulted in us having more players than Malvia, Lourennais, Saridan, Sekowo, Talmoria, and Baltusia combined. ) TRANSLATION provided: http://translate.google.com/#auto|en|%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%8A%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7%D9%86%D8%A9 ^Trust us, the link looks broken but copy it exactly and ye' shall see Happy Monday, everyone. ) |

Message | OOC: What is the proper translation? If you give an alternative, we can work on something. But if you only say No, to this, to cabinets, to flags, to everything, I'm not sure what to do. Most players will use Google Translate to translate the nation name anyway, so it still works. Perhaps it's Badaran Arabic. Geeze, I don't know. But don't just say "No" and end the discussion. |
