Shall we ratify the following section of the Code of Standards?

C. Naming Rights
1. The first Governor for a province shall name that province.

2. A City Name List is compiled from names provided by the citizens of
COUNTYR_NAME.
a. Each citizen was required to provide a name at the time of
registration.
b. Names will be used in the order of citizen registration. If a city
name was not provided, that citizen is skipped until that citizen
provides a name. That name is placed on top of the remaining list.
c. A citizen may change or add their choice of city name any time prior
to their choice being used. A post must be made in the Census Office
thread regarding the change or addition.

3. When a city name is required, the first name available on the official
City Name List shall be used unless that city's name-giver determines
otherwise.
a. The first President shall have rights to name the first city founded
by COUNTRY_NAME. If the President exercises this right, the President
shall be skipped in the City Name List the first time they are due
to name a city.

4. When a city has been named using a name from the City Name List, it
shall not be renamed unless the city is wrongly named .

5. Cities that were captured, flipped, or otherwise acquired are always
renamed. When a city is renamed, it must follow the points above.

6. Natural terrain features (mountain chains, lakes, deserts, etc) may be
named by Provincial Governors. If the Provincial Governor does not wish
to name a feature it may be passed to the next Governor

7. Naming rights must pass through all citizens before a citizen is given
a second naming right in the chain.

I voted yes, but you'll need to change "COUNTYR_NAME" and "COUNTRY_NAME" to "Fanatica".

I think this is good, I agree.

I would vote NO since I would realy want to see it as the naming rights goes along with the COC and then to the citizens.

I think this system is the most fair.

I voted YES, as I like the part about the Governor's rights being number 1. I'm also glad we got rid of that COC mess.

I vote YES

I voted yes even though I don't like the rule about always renaming flipped/captured cites. I was the mayor of Alexandria, and wouldn't have liked the ancient city name changed to Perriwinkle :rolleyes: or something equally stupid. (just grabbed that example city name out of thin air, peri ;) )

I think this system is the most fair, so it's a yes vote for me, but I also don't think that we should rename all captured cities; instead, we should have a poll on whether a captured city should be renamed.

I will vote my dissent now that this is ratified, but I strongly disagree that we should be required to rename every captured city.

Look for a challenge to CoS c.5 this term. ;)

Hmm, is it not to late to change my mind on this?

(Also note, I have not voted yet)

I agree that captured cities should only change names when a (or both) legislative bodies agree.

This section is Ratified.
