I see nothing wrong with our current names.

[GAworth]

I know, but why not respect both. Also, section 2 is irrelevant now.

[ilikeverin]

I will respect both as soon as the federal government respects our right to our own chosen state names!

[Lumine]

I would rather have just the normal names, but I guess this is a good compromise for me, so I won't veto it should it pass the Althing. I don't mean to be rude in any way, but I also want to offer an amendment to address one or two issues:

I fixed a typo on Nebraska, eliminated the part of the Midwest State Name Act (that bill is now gone forever) and I changed it to an amendment so the Midwestern people can vote on it.

[GAworth]

Sounds good to me Lumine. Ilikeverin, then lobby the Senate to recognize the names.

[ilikeverin]

There is a bill pending, sponsored by our comrade TNF!  I look forward to lobbying for the bill when it comes up for a vote.

[Fritz]

Just so you know, it is my policy as RG to accept voter registrations that use the regional state names (but I still list them using the common names).

Good, thank you!  That's a step in the right direction.  *hughughug*

[windjammer]

I suppose we should withdraw this bill?

[minionofmidas]

I would rather have just the normal names

Which is the current state of affairs.

[GAworth]

I suppose we should withdraw this bill?

Why? we do not recognize the traditional names (national names) on the regional level.

I believe this is the current version.

Why does it say eleven provinces?  There are ten states.  Or did we add one I don't know about?

Good catch, we originally claimed New Mexico, my bad.

Oh my.  We shouldn't withdraw our claim to New Mexico!  What if WMS comes back?  This seems like an issue we should vote on before we go to a final vote.

[GAworth]

I was not meaning to withdraw our claim, however, we have no de jure or de facto jurisdiction over New Mexico so I did not include it in my legislation.

[Lumine]

I have to admit that I have very little knowledge of previous Midwest history, what is WMS?

[windjammer]

Well, I withdraw the vote.

[ilikeverin]

I have to admit that I have very little knowledge of previous Midwest history, what is WMS?

WMS was a frequent poster and active member of Atlasia, who, despite being full of *hughughug*, sadly was located just over the (official) border in territories administered by the Pacific.  Our rightful claim to Swagger derives from our desire to have him as a part of the region, plus various historical claims (the regions were once accidentally completely unequal in size).

[windjammer]

Well?

[GAworth]

Well I offer an amendment to change it to ten instead of eleven, ilikeverin does number 3 address your concerns properly?

3. The Most Serene Republic still claims the state of New Mexico as apart of the region.

Just so long as we also call Swagger Swagger.
