KHAR BUKHYN - In a decision that was described as "severing the last ties of colonialism," the AO state once known as Altani Antarctica has undergone a name change. The new name, Chagan Altan, means "white gold" in the Altani-Mongol dialect commonly used in the Commonwealth of Independent Nations, the parent state of Chagan Altan. "This name was chosen to reflect that, while our founders were of Altani heritage, we are, truly, a unique and distinct land from the Khanate of the Altan Ulus in Catena," the new President of Chagan Altan, Altangerel Udval, said at the unveiling of the new name and new state symbols. "The old name was one given to us when we were a colony of the Altani, but we are no colony any longer. Under the Commonwealth, we are a sovereign state in our own right. We deserve our own symbols of sovereignty," Udval said. The Commonwealth Government, based in Catena, has acknowledged the name change. There has been no official comment, either of congratulations or complaint, from the Altani government in Aktau. |

'MusicalNames' app to help geopolitically confused Altanis PARADISE CITY --- On the heels of yet another Altani name-change (bringing the total this year to about 761), the Kennyite National Security Company is now offering Altanis a new smartphone app that helpfully informs them of what country they currently live in and instantly alerts them to any changes thereof, according to National Security Adviser Capt. Jenny Chiang. "This new service will prove especially helpful to citizens of Chagan Altan, aka Altani Antarctica, aka Antarctic Altanar, aka Southern Commonwealth, aka Altani Overseas States," said Chiang. "But obviously it will work for the entire Altansphere, where revolts and political upheavals sweep away old governments about as frequently as Kim Kardashian buys shoes. So naturally our new app will also include alerts to events that might result in another name change in the near future, including wars, rebellion, assassinations, revolutions, natural disasters, Tea Party protests, alien invasions and British boybands." A KNSC-produced online video advertising the app includes testimonials from purported Altanis praising the app for its informative alerts. "We never know what the heck our country's name is anymore; there were so many changes; we just call it 'Funkytown' now," said one man featured in the video. "I used to dread traveling abroad, because I never knew what to say when locals asked where I was from. This new app will help save us from unnecessary embarrassment overseas." "For the longest time I didn't know what to tell my children when they'd ask me about their country, because it changes like every five minutes," claimed a woman in the video. "Now I can properly instill in them a sense of pride for...whatever country du jour it is that they live in, AND get a heads-up to get them out of harm's way whenever a disaster or boyband hits the homeland. Thanks, MusicalNames!" |
