A Name Change???

[Mataiwos Nanamavéu]

There has been some debate in the past of whether or not Ataturk should have its named changed to something which does not offend any group or groups of people as Ataturk does.

In light of this I propose that:

1. The House of Commons put together a committee to look into the possibility of another, less controversial name that reflects the modern citizen of the Ataturk Province.

2. This Committee shall also review the Motto, Flag & Symbols of Ataturk to bring them inline with the name change if any or to bring them inline with the Modern Ataturk in a Modern Talossa.

3. The Committee shall be composed of Members of the House of Commons, Atatürkey and Non-Atatürkey. The Composition of the Committee must then receive the approval of the House of Commons & Cunstival before it commences its duties.

4. The Committee’s Duties & Internal Structure, will be made in more detail at a later date.


I have outlined the basic principles of such a Review Committee that will basically be in charge of removing the negative and maybe to some insulting and hurtful aspects of Ataturk and make Ataturk a Province in which all Talossans may gather under a name that signifies Unity & Friendship, instead of the current name.


I now open this to debate, what say you…?

Who is offended?

[Mataiwos Nanamavéu]

If I recall, S:reu Da Bitour showed some offence in the name...

However, I also feel that Talossa should move away from the names of Dictators as the names of our Provinces...

[Brad Holmes]

From what I keep reading, he was not a dictator but rather the first President of the Republic of Turkey.

He is accredited as a strong general during WWI, and led the independence movement of Turkey during the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire following the Great War.

I don't think there's any need to change the name.

Atatürk it stays then, or at least until we decide against this.

Motion for the Committee is hereby dropped
