Either United Nations is the name of the probably-imminent federation - in which case the current UN needs a name change. Or It remains the UN and the federation is named something different. Possibly just The Federation or something along those lines, and try to supplant New America's use of the name.

Oh, I see the issue now. Trademark law. Please! Please stop hissing, I'm not done. We're all clever people here, I'm sure we can figure something out to preserve our equity while not falling afoul of The Lawyers. If by some chance we do form a larger conglomerate in the near future, how about the Federated United Nations? We are UN, but we are also FUN?

Crisis Now posted:Either United Nations is the name of the probably-imminent federation - in which case the current UN needs a name change. Precisely. The United Nations is a supra-corporate, supra-nation state entity. Naturally, the name should go to the confederation of entities we lead. Given that we are decidedly NOT going back to the Bad Old Days of nationalism, CHUD is a natural and correct name for our sub-federated form. We can, further, retain our long and glorious regalia, there is no reason why CHUDS cannot wear blue helmets.

Well we would be a federation of planets. Maybe a United Federation of Planets?

Focus groups show that customers have strong attachments to political brands like "democracy", "liberty" and "freedom". Maybe we could use that? Also the closest thing to "nations" we have nowadays is planets that manage some of their own affairs independently. Something like Democratic Order Of Planets (doop)?

Same. And I wouldn't have figured out that Superior Corporation was the Hudson Bay Company without the blurb about each security council member's history a little while back.

We gotta take this seriously you guys, if we cannot reach an agreement all the good names will get taken and we will be stuck with the Confederated United Nations of Terra and nobody wants that!

It probably would've been less confusing if it was a river that wasn't also the name of a country like Nile or Yangtse or Volga

And if so a Captain Kif.

I had completely forgotten trade leagues were a type of federation, and I can't not pick that considering the UN's background. So the name'll be 'Federal Partnership', or just "The Partnership" With the UN / Regulus / SovMech being the 'founding partners' with hopefully many more to time. I feel like saying this now is necessary to stave off another page of name-chat

Well done on your victory. I will say though that I personally find having so many open chokepoints to be a point of anxiety, I much prefer the game having hyperlane density as low as possible

United Federation (keeping the United part can save at least 50% of costs related to rebranding and replacing current UN branding and livery). United Merchants (having a similar letter to N means a possible further savings)

If the branding is so important, why not double up? United Nations of Earth (or Sol) and United Nations of the Galaxy.

It's a beautiful day for a spacer ship, A beautiful day for a spacer-- Would you be mine? Could you be mine? It's a spacerly day for a beauty ship A spacerly day for a beauty-- Would you be mine? Could you be mine? I have always want to know a spacer Just like you! I have always wanted to live in a galaxy-- With you! So.... Let's make the most of this beautiful day. Since we're together, we might as well say, Could you be mine, would you be mine, Won't you be my spacer? Won't you be? Please won't you be? My spacer! Hello spacer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's such a good feeling To know you're alive It's such a happy feeling: You managed to survive And when you fly out ready to say, "I think I'll find a snappy new way!" It's such a good feeling, A very good feeling, The feeling you know, That we'll meet again In a new hyperlane And I will have more Songs and stories and lore. And you'll have views That you'll want to talk about I will, too. You always make each day such a special day. You know how! By just you being you. Only one person in the whole galaxy like you! That's you, yourself. I'll be back next time!
