Hello all,

I truly believe we need a new name for our nation even though I'm attached to the name of Orion just as many of you. Writing legal documents and specifying "City of Orion" and "Nation of Orion" gets tiring. In addition, we will have to make a new subreddit for the Nation of Orion and /r/Civcraft_Orion is already taken. It would get way too confusing to have two different subreddits of the same name.

So, propose some ideas for names of our future nation, and I will post the most viable options in a separate vote thread after two days. Initial legislation for the proposed federalization of Orion Territories is being drafted by Nightwinga and myself as I type. The national system is, of course, not permanent or set in stone as of yet. We have not held any votes on the matter. It will also require a medium sized constitutional amendment before a federation is put in place which I have prepared. It would just make the process of writing the document much easier to have an agreeable national name.

The last thread devolved into resistance to a new name, in some part due to the OP's joke names and lack of reasoning, so I am hoping for a better discussion here.

To promote creativity, I will be offering 64 diamonds to the winner of the runoff vote. You also have some substantial bragging rights if the federation comes through.

Get thinking! You have 48 hours,

Malice975 Executive Council of Orion

Edit: Should have labeled this a [Contest] thread. Doh.
