Bill: Renaming Oriente and Occidente
Details
Submitted by[?]: Gaduri Conservative Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 3907
Description[?]:
| OOC: I suggest that we "rename" the cities of Oriente and Occidente. I think that when they were created there was a mistake or something like that- Oriente is located in the Region of Salnaeta and Occidente in the Region of North Vintalli What's the problem? In spanish and Italian Oriente means East and Occidente means West, but Oriente is in the West and Occidente in the East! This was probably (may be was on propouse) a mistake. I suggest that we switch the city names, what do you say? EDIT: PROPOSAL: Rename the following Cities 1. Cicorsari ---> Pescetta 2. Bentasur ---> Little Majatra 3. Bentarinorte ---> Palm City 4. Allorozur ---> Montagnero 5. Tanzhagilete ---> Castrania 6. Oriente ---> Oeste 7. Occidente ---> Oriente |

| Message | OOC: You're right, they're mixed-up and need fixing. Going a little further, I think maybe we should have a review of all of the names of the cities. Some don't seem 'right' (or aren't very good, I should say) and maybe we should restore some of the older, more original names, if they're an improvement. For example: "Gadur" would be better if it was "Gadur Town" or "Gadur City". Also, I feel that: Cicorsari, Allorozur, Tansaal and Tanzhagilete, hardly strike you as city names - they're a bit of a mouthful. Bentasur and Bentarinorte also need adjusting (or changing completely as they seem a bit tacky). For me there's a lack of cities with Indralan (Chinese) naming influence and considering the fact that Gaduridos was a colony of what was then an English-speaking country maybe there should be a couple of 'colonial' city names e.g. taking inspiration from New York City (USA) and East London (South Africa). The cities are too Spanish and too Italian. |

| Message | I use to know the original names to the cities, Azban is the only one to survive and it wasn't the capital, the capital was a city on on the Pernissians-Salenta border, but I can't remember maybe can try to dig through old legislation and find them |

| Message | I did some research when I made this bill. At first cities were not named or at least not properly named (we have no way to know exactly the names of the cities) but the first capital was Bentara or something like that, then it changed MANY times, Azban has also been a capital before and Gadur (which is the only city that has a wiki page). Yes, I think we should rename most of the cities to names that go more acording to our cultural protocols |

| Message | Also, the spanish states names' don't look very spanish, they are Italian. Maybe it's time for a name reform? |

| Message | I personally feel the following cities need renaming: Cicorsari Occidente (see debate) Bentasur Bentarinorte Oriente (see debate) Allorozur Tanzhagilete Anyone agree? |
| Date | 03:21:55, September 09, 2015 CET | From | Gaduri Conservative Party | To | Debating the Renaming Oriente and Occidente |
| Message | Yep, I think we should suggest new names. |
| Date | 17:38:36, September 09, 2015 CET | From | Left Solidarity | To | Debating the Renaming Oriente and Occidente |
| Message | How about? Oriente (Salnaeta) becomes "Oeste". Occidente (North Vintalli) becomes "Oriente". *********************************************************************** For the rest, I don't know. It comes down to personal preference for settlement names... Some ideas: 1. Cicorsari ---> Pescetta 2. Bentasur ---> Little Majatra 3. Bentarinorte ---> Palm City 4. Allorozur ---> Montagnero 5. Tanzhagilete ---> Castrania |

| Message | Cool. They'll have to be added to the bill description and then voted on so moderation can change them. Make clear that its renaming. |
