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

I'd like to see you suggest better. It is hard to pick a name all agree on.

That's Spanish, Andro. Barrayar has nothing in particular to do with Spanish . . .

Hehe. But then, Zdenka-hun...neither does Barrayar have anything to do with...Barrayar. ;) Still...not everything can be called Barrayar. How about Cordelia?

You do kind of have a point, Keita. :P

We could call it "Shared Nation," if the name isn't taken. :D

I like "The Emirates States" but we should have a slightly more creative name :P

Availability Update:

CTE, name not reuseable:
Barrayar
Beta Colony
Cordelia
Vorkosigan

Currently exists:
Cetaganda [Never fear, ImpSec is keeping a close eye on them]

Available as of now:
Barrayarans
El Barrayar [This is a terrible name and we should not use it]
Shared Nation [I honestly think this would be funny, but other people seem to hate it :P ]

If people don't like the current possibilities, we'd better think of some more names . . .

Komarr? It's available.

Sergyar and Chaos Colony are not available.

Sorry, Clever! I must have missed that suggestion somehow. I have just checked and Bujold is not available. :( But "Lois McMaster Bujold" is available, if you like that.

Okay -- I think it's time to get this going, don't you?

Current live options are:
Barrayarans
Komarr
Lois McMaster Bujold
EDIT: Rayarrab

I will make a poll tomorrow (or someone else can). If I've left out anything that was meant to be serious, let me know and I'll add it back in. :P

*groan* Fine. I think that is a silly name, but I shall bow to the will of the majority if it is chosen. :P
