Getting the Shared Nation Going; Am I jumping the gun a little bit here?

I realize I may be jumping the gun here a little, but I would love to have the shared nation up and running at some point in early February. For those that don't know a shared nation is a nation that is shared by all members of the region. You influence the nation by voting on its issues democratically whenever they occur on the forum.

Do we currently have a plan for it and if so who wants to do it? I'd also like to have a name and motto figured out. Shared nation polls are some of my favourite things to do on these forums so that's why I would like to get it going soon :D

Hehe. Zdenka and I have been discussing it. :) As in Westphalia, she and I will be running it. The forum to house it is already there. All we need is a name. :D

So how about it, guys? :D What do you think we should call it? Zdenka suggested Barrayarans earlier. ;) Suggest some names here, and we can run a poll later. :)

If it's available, we could just name it Barrayar... :P

I think that would be overselling the brand. ;)

How about Bujold after the author of Barrayar?

Call it what you wish. I do believe we should have it, just not right now.

Why do you think that?

We don't have a lot of nations to make an interesting poll. You could have one, but I believe it won't be popular at first.

Hence why I didn't want to get it started now, I was talking about February for a reason as it will be when we get an influx of new nations.

I see your point. How many nations do you expect we'll get?

Westphalia had 10 active shared nation'ers with 200-250 nations. As long as we get three or four people that stick on the forums around February it doesn't really matter.

We have enough. I'm pretty sure that, at this point, everyone would be active in it. :P

We just need to decide on a name.

Suggest some more names then set up a poll? I am still in favour of Bujold.

I like this plan. :)

We need more suggestions, though, or it won't be a very interesting poll.

Bujold is good. Maybe Barrayarans? With an exclamation point at the end if it's allowed: Barrayarans! (Which slightly makes it sound like a musical, but whatever.) Wait, I know. Beta Colony! Because it's all democratic and we vote on everything. :P

How about we just name the nation "Barrayar"? Basically, what we did with the other two nations is slightly modify the name of the region (La Renaissance, Das Westfalen), but if plain old "Barrayar" is open, why not take it?
