Description[?]:
| This bill description will be switching back and forth between OOC and IC very much, but I trust you guys to figure out which is which... Alright, I'm hoping that maybe we could get Aloria a unique and distinctive culture. Alirhaut is admittedly based very much on the RL French language, which I've had a great deal of experience with (6 years of learning it in school, two trips to France and the like). Anyway, in order to help this culture develop, I need your help. I've translated all of the party names from English into Alirhaut (which is at least a bit different from French). Social Reform Party - Partie de Reforme Socialein Hammerian Capitalist Party - Partie Capitaliste Hammerien Memorare Party - Partie Memoraristein Capitalism Now! Party - Partie de Lutte Capitalistein Independent Centrist Party - Partie Independent-Centrisme Fair Capitalism Party - Partie de Capitalisme Justein Freedom Party - Partie de Libertein Lord-General Drache Party - Partie Roi-Generale Drachein In addition to the party names, I was hoping on changing the office names: President of the Governing Council - President de Conseille Guvernant Presiding Minister of the Committee of Regions - Ministre Presidantein de Conseilles Regionales Or something of the sort. Thoughts? |

| Message | What happened to Alir? |
| Date | 23:48:01, December 28, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | According to the Wiki, at least, Alir is spoken only in certain small areas and is not the national language. Mostly, from what I concluded, it was more of a tribal or bastardised Alorian. A slang, if you will. |
| Date | 01:19:55, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Against name changes. We shouldn't become like Deltaria. Besides, I've always assumed that we speak in our native languages and everything's already in our native languages (for IC) but they are automatically translated into English. |
| Date | 01:21:41, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Besides, all French is is slang Latin. |
| Date | 01:30:46, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Then what are your suggestions concerning Alorian culture? We need improve and build up our culture more, and make people recognise the name "Aloria" around the world. |
| Date | 01:31:09, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | And don't you insult French, I love that language. |
| Date | 01:32:17, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Yes, we must. That doesn't mean changing the country though. Deltaria tried doing that and look what happened? The old government grew corrupt and got replaced. I'd say we should hold some international event of great importance every 10 years. That'd put us on the map. |
| Date | 02:12:20, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | OOC: I've always preferred Latin to French. |
| Date | 04:27:42, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | OOC: Latin = win |
| Date | 04:33:19, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | OOC: Latin is pretty damn cool, but I don't know how to speak it. |
| Date | 15:03:48, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | It's nicer and easier to base a language on. Plus, Latin is the small minority, which a much larger one representing removed and first Alorian. The idea is it's a fairly standard slang. Like a language at its first stages. |
| Date | 16:26:11, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Alright. |
| Date | 16:27:08, December 29, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Then perhaps we could have Alirhaut be what the nobles spoke in old times? In Russia, the nobles spoke French to distinguish themselves from the "common people". |
| Date | 03:03:33, January 01, 2006 CET | From | Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Hmm. Maybe we can incorporate it into the history. |
| Date | 18:56:32, January 01, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Yea, that's what I was thinking of. |
| Date | 02:29:32, January 02, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | NOTE: Didn't want to clog up the Debate section but didn't want to eliminate it. |
| Date | 03:23:13, January 02, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Alorian Culture Discussion |
| Message | Okay, then I'll either abstain or vote no. FP: suggest an archive feature for the HoG to archive good debates that aren't going to vote. |
