[GOV] Suggest a name for the Union!
Prime Minister's Department
It is a very pressing matter that we decide on the official name of the Union of Malaysia and Thailand fast. As the new forum has some problems with accessibility lately and not everyone is registered there yet the poll on the name will be held here under an article of this newspaper. Once the name is chosen we will finally be able to rename the official newspapers, the army maybe and so on and change the welcoming message that new citizens receive. Suggestions for the official flag of the Union are also welcome.
There have been several suggestions for the name of the country already in the newspaper of Gustavius. Please feel free to repeat those suggestions under this article and to come up with new ones! After about 24 hours I'll start the poll about the naming and only those names will be an option to choose from which are brought up in comments under this article. So please don't miss the opportunity if you have some cool suggestion!
In the next article about the naming I'll include all received suggestions and everyone will be able to choose 3 of the names. The order also counts, the name you rank first will receive 3 points while the one you rank 3rd will receive 1. Only the votes of citizen accounts with either Malaysian or Thai citizenship will count. If you have any other ideas for the conduction of the poll, please feel free to comment!
Best regards,
Nagyzee

FIrst! always wanted to do that 🙂

Seriously, I like Commonwealth of South-East Asia. But I'm not a citizen, so my opinion shouldn't count I think.
~simplex
Why not just South East Asia? 🙂
I also suggest if we invite Singapore, Philipines, Indonesia and maybe Australia too. 🙂
I like either:
Malayland
or
The Commonwealth of South-East Asia.
I like Thailaysia.
Union of South East Asia (USEA)
or
MalaThai
@Xani - *invite* Indoensia?
I vote CSEA.
As for the flag a simple solution for the current union would be to replace the moon and sun of the Malaysian flag with the Thai flag, combines both former identities under one flag.
I await the surge of disgust to this lol
MalaThai... Interesting 🙂 A strong, united nation.
Whats about the UNoSEA ? (United Nations of South-East Asia ?)
Well I would still vote for the Commonwealth of South-east Asia (CSEA) as #1... But a new name? Well, I'm already dried up.
CSEA and UNoSEA are good, I think we should lean to something like that instead of a compound of Thailand and Malaysia.
My suggestion is "Federal Republic Malaysia and Thailand" - FRMT
Sriwijaya Kingdom
MaiThai, like the cocktail!
I'd suggest MaiThai, MalaThai or Malay-Thai maybe with Union added at the end. So Malay-Thai Union most likely. It's short enough but can be abbreviated further.
I wouldn't like to see a very long name that can only be used abbreviated. Just my personal opinion.
I'd like to see this, simple and official-sounding:
Official Name: Confederation of South East Asia
Ex: The Confederation of South East Asia is the official name for the union between Malaysia and Thailand.
Noun referring to the Collective Government: The Union
Ex: The Union decided to expand its regional interests by joining an alliance, Sol.
Noun referring to a citizen(pl. in parenthesis): Maithai(s)
Ex: Maithais are some of the most clever in the New World
Adjective: Maithai
Ex: The Maithai oil resources are among the best in the world.
Siam
Siam
CSEA works for me
something which contains South East Asia
or
MalaThai
sounds intersting MAlathai with "t" . Malathai
Im enjoying the sound of our new group name of Maithais! Especially after a hard fought battle to hear the exclamation,"Those Maithais kicked my ass last night!"
Im not so much a fan of the Confederation or Union suggestions, though I do like the variants of Malaythai, Malthai, or Thailaysia for country names. Just seems as if the Confed and Union names are too long at we would lose a bit of our combined "heritage".
My first choice would be Malaythai, then Malathai, and lastly CSEA. Like someone else said, we can stick a "Union" in there somewhere.
I proposed May-Thai.
But Thailaysia sounds even better, I admit.
It sounds like a country name, while CSEA sounds like a disease. 😉
I like CSEA but not confederation. Makes me think of the racist south in the US.
Coalition of South Eastern Asia could be the official name with the name Tylasia as our "slang" name for it. Citizens called Maithais and we can have a flag with fuzzy red white and blue line with the sun and moon both personified as people. Arms, legs, faces, the whole bit. Then they are clinking together glasses full of their favorite beverage in a happy manner like a "cheers".
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
But yeah, I think Jack summed up my opinion quite well. Not that I really have a vote...
United siamese emirates, or federated south east asia.
The Commonwealth of South-East Asia
Thailaysia.
UNoSEA... sounds a lot like "You No See"
anyone that vote for this seriously, I will go No Eye See
I vote for "Confederation of South East Asia"
Since the state is comprised of Siamese Lands (thailand, or muang-thai), the Malayan Peninsula (Malaysia) and The Northern Borneo (Malaysia) and the "sia" from Malaysia is for Singapore back in the days when it was still in the union, perhaps the appropiate name would be The Federal Republic of Siam, Malaya and Northern Borneo (TFRSMN😎 but that would be too long for a name, perhaps Muanglaysia?
I know I'm a foreigner, and no you can't invite Indonesia if you want your name to be Union of South East Asia, if you invite Indonesia it would be a global empire rather a Regional Union...
umm indonesia form a union all by themselves 😛
I Like The Federal Republic of South East Asia
or CSEA
or Peoples Republic of Siam.
Nah. I'd prefer Maithai. It's a great name.
I vote for CSEA - Commonwealth of South East Asia, or Confederation of South East Asia
ofc, replace Confederate or Commonwealth with another C word, like Coaliation (what Gentyle suggested), and I still like it.
Maybe we can call it officially CSEA and colloquially MalaThai or whatever?
USEA! You-see.
What about CSA? It's shorter and means the same thing. Commonwealth of southeast Asia. Or SAR southeast Asia republik. Or just AR Asia republik.
SEAsia
it has the benefit of being short, and the meaning is fairly readily accessible
MTCPU? Malaysia-Thailand Confederation of Peace and Unity
OUTSIDERS
i suggest it because we are the outsiders from PEACE GC and Atlantis..
isn;t it ??
CMIIW
They tell me to write it here. Variations on a theme.
(1) Mayland
(2) Mhailand
(3) Malailand
Short, simple, no need for abbreviations. Contains everything it has to.
Blessings!
Ramos Sanchez has it down
Ramos Sanchez has it down
but if we do something like Malaysian and then we try to incorporate another country, we'll have to change it.
"SEAsia
it has the benefit of being short, and the meaning is fairly readily accessible"
The problem with that is that it's simply the name of the region. We'd have to stick something next to it (like Republic or Commonwealth or Union) to make it more county name-like. Just my two cents.🙂
United States of SEA (USSEA)
My suggestion is to exit from old nationals names and be goliardics...
Malaysia must important famous think is Sandokan, the malaysia tyger
Thailand must famous component is Buddhism...
So, why don't connect these 2 items and call the new country Buddhist Tigers Home or Cavern of Buddhist Tigers
Another important thing it's the second name of thailand, Siam, and we can use it for compose Siam Tigers Land or Siamese Tigers!!
Exit from normal conceptions of country names and take a Goliardic way!!
Malathaisea.
Malaysia + Thailand + South East Asia.
Why? Because originally Malaysian people is malay and Thailand people is that. We cannot remove that. And this country is located in South East Asia that is SEA.
what about
MAITAI on the SEA
😉)))
