BTW that's confusing me, because when you and Selcru created Dranland's Cultural Protocol earlier in the year, you (then the only Mod) listed "English, Korean, Spanish or Welsh" for Dranland's NRG entry. This was because English is widely-spoken in Dranland, even though English is not a significant culture there.

I'm not criticising Dranland's entry, just suggesting Kundrati should be entitled to the same consideration.

i referred to it because the Alorians similar to the Kundratis said:

Guidelines:

• Party names should be in both Welsh and German (English is acceptable but least preferred)


Reddy, every party in every nation is permitted to have their party name in English! Please re-familiarise yourself with section 6 of the Game Rules, particularly section 6.3. The only significance to the chunk of text you've just quoted is that it further confirms that whilst Aloria's Cultural Protocol considers Welsh and German to be core languages, it does not consider English in the same way (ie. precisely the opposite of what you are claiming).


Eh, where did I question that parties are allowed to have their names in English? That's just patronising of you. I quoted that text to show that the player give a picture of their language preferences.

Anyway there is no need to drag this on with you. The Kundrati players' views are the ones that really matter on this and so far, no comments have been received from them.

Again the Dranish players gave clear instructions on this. As I said earlier, where instructions are clear, Moderation will follow that. Where they are not or even contradictory, we will look at the cultures as has been done some many times in the past.

Of course not, you are just hinting that I gave Dranland preferential treatment. Nice :) I was involved in that and anticipating the likelihood of future mudslinging, asked Colonelvesica to review it. The Dranish players (including me)) gave very clear instructions on language and they were followed.

Please don't be so thin-skinned and just explain what your point was in (erroneously) citing that text in support of your claim that English is a core language for Aloria.

Again, have you actually bothered to ask them? Obviously you didn't bother to consult them at the time the Cultural Protocol was being considered. But even in the absence of explicit feedback from them, the fact the Cultural Protocol makes English a main language, plus the fact that their nation name was in English at the time they introduced the Cultural Protocol (and still is now) should be a strong indication in favour of letting them have English as an option.

Are you sure colonelvesica approved Dranland's NRG entry? Because from what I remember, you only updated Dranland's entry from "Any" after I (privately) reminded you, because you had not bothered to do so (just as you did not bother to update Kundrati's entry until I reminded you).

In any case, as I said, I'm not disputing Dranland's entry, I'm just asking for the Kundrati players to have the same consideration. (And obviously that means giving them the opportunity to change their NRG entry BEFORE wading in and demanding they change their nation title to Basque or Latin).

Just to end the patronising, drama and fixation over this... Moderation will only make changes to the NRG at the request of the country's players not concerned onlookers. If the Cultural Protocol is not clear, Moderation reserves the right to make its own determination as done in this case.

La République de Kanjor et La Tondelle.
Is it correct French? Or something must be changed?

From Maxington

"If you want it as "The Republic of Kanjor and La Tondelle,
In french it should be
Le République de Kanjor et La Tondelle
but otherwise it's fine"

Hi, you need to pass a bill with the support of 2/3 majority of the legislative seats and then post it here. A moderator will then process the name change.

NB: I advise consulting the Nation Renaming Guide and the Game Rules before passing the bill.

Cakaniye seems to be the accepted "ethnicised" version of Jakania, can I suggest that this is added to the nation renaming guide for future reference?

What has happened to the Nation Renaming Guide? The list is no longer in alphabetical order for some reason, and the previous format has been replaced with a much more confusing one. In the past, the guide contained a list of countries and the appropriate language for the country name, with a native form of the name in brackets. I'm not too sure what the current structure is supposed to be, in some cases the brackets show alternative names, in some cases they show native names and in some cases they show in-game equivalents. Some explanation of what has happened here from Moderation would be appreciated.

Assuming that the previous rules still apply, I have some feedback and suggestions based on the thread I started on the subject:
  • "Hawu-Ikradon" should be changed to "Ikradon", with "Hawu Mumenhes" as an appropriate alternative
  • "Dranland" should be changed to "Dankuk", with "Drania" as an appropriate alternative
  • "Husltria" should be changed to "Hulstria and Gao-Soto"
  • "Indrala" should be changed to "Yingdala", with "Indrala" as an appropriate alternative
  • "Sekowo" should be changed to "Seko", with "Sekowo" as an appropriate alternative
  • "Deltaria Nova" should be changed to "Vorona", with "Deltaria Nova" as an appropriate alternative

A few other queries. "Athlorcea" is currently listed as an appropriate alternative to "Hutori" and "Kyseon" is currently listed as an appropriate alternative to "Dankuk". Performing a quick search of the forum, neither of these terms have ever been used in an in-character setting as far as I have been able to find. I would recommend that they are removed. I would also like to reiterate my previous request that "Cakaniye" is added as the native form of "Jakania".
