| Message | The name should be Förbundsrepubliken Telamon. It's the original name of Talemon. |

| Message | The original name of Telamon is not Förbundsrepubliken Telamon. In fact, Telamon has had a number of names recently. We do know that Telamon was known as the Kingdom of Telamon in 3957 http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=457263 Shortly after that, Telamon became known as The United States of Telamon. Forbundsrepubliken became a title with the old CP, which is no longer in effect. So we are not quite sure where the NFU has acquired the notion that this title is some sort of historic title for this country. And we challenge the Fascists to find a reference to Forbundsrepubliken that is older than 200 years in the archives of the Government of Telamon. |
