Northern Region - New Name Suggestions!

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Hello my fellow Northerners,

In accordance with the Regional Name Act, citizens of the North must begin suggestions for a new regional name. The thread will be closed when 10 names or 72 hours have passed. The assembly will then convene to select three names, and the voters will choose their favorite name next month during the February regional elections.

I'd like to begin with a suggestion of my own--the Atlantic Union Region.

Is it to have another name with North still being a name associated with the region or to totally replace North.

The constitutional committee of the region settled on a name six months ago. I don't see the reason for changing it again especially if it is to choose a name that doesn't help to locate the region on a map.

It is to totally replace the name "North"

These concerns were raised during the debate in the assembly, and Fremont Governor Truman reminded us that names other than "North" were considered during the Constitutional committee's proceedings. Truman also reminded us that Fremont's name does not correspond to its place on a map, yet there is no trouble understanding its place in Atlasia.

Great Lakes

That's a good idea. I'd personally rather have us choose the name of one of the lakes. Perhaps the largest one - Superior.

I don't know how it would go over to have ourselves called the "Superior Region"

I'm very in favor of Franklin, Huron, and Atlantic (Union)

Bump!

I'm not quite sure when the Governor would like this thread to be closed officially, but I'm aiming to end the submission period on January 31st at 11:59 PM EST. After that, the Assembly will choose our three favorite name suggestions and you all will be able to vote on them in February! So get those submissions in!

On behalf of former Sawx, the former Governor of the Northeast region, I would like to submit the name Sawxistan.
