Rayarrab is obviously the best choice. Long live The Emirate States of Rayarrab!

Can we just use the current name? (Barrayar)

If you would have checked the other shared nation thread, Zdenka already said it's ineligible.

Exactly, Nerod. We can't use Barrayar because the name was already used by a nation of significant size that Ceased To Exist.

Nerod, Barrayar was not taken as a region name when I founded it. Barrayar is not currently eligible as a nation name, however. Do you understand what the Shared Nation is? No one is talking about changing the name of the region! This is to decide the name for a nation that we will use for entertainment purposes, as described in the other thread. :)

Perhaps you could have suggested a name earlier then?

I wasn't playing NS before the pol. Or maybe I was but wasn't at the forum.

If it's allowed, I change my vote from demanding a new poll to Komarr.

The poll will be done over only if the "I demand a new poll" option gets the majority. What to call the shared nation is not the most important decision facing Barrayar, and I think those of us who are outvoted can deal with it. :) If two or more options are tied at poll closing, then we'll have a run-off.

EDIT: Just saw Andro's comment. That would be easier than having a run-off. *thinks* How about this -- we'll see where things stand when the poll closes. Andro gets to change his vote, but only if it breaks the tie. Does that sound reasonable?

Nerod, your motion is out of order. Unless you can demonstrate a valid reason why we need to re-do the poll, the results will stand.

The GNNE will respond to that within the hour. Please standby.

((OOC: Edit: Changed "to that in the next hour" for "within the hour".))
