INTERNATIONAL POLITICS | Sedunn becomes a republic - in Austral too

Grovne. The Sedunnic Government Office, which is the administrative body that supports the government as well as missions abroad, has issued a recommendation to restyle Sedunn as a republic, and the office known as king will be restyled as president in the government's Austral language documents and communication. The intention is to avoid the occasional confusion internationally regarding what kind of government Sedunn has and what the role of the king entails. The recommendation is based on an investigation conducted by the Foreign Office on Vimmru Innienn's initiative. The leaders of the opposition parties were consulted as well.

Sedunn has never been a real kingdom with a monarch. However at the time Sedunners came into contact with Austral speakers there was no specific word for an elected leader in Sedunnic to contrast monarchs and soverigns, so the Sedunnic word for a national leader - dellm - was translated to king. Then it was natural that Sedunn was called a kingdom.

Major Sedunnic agencies, educational institutions and enterprises usually follow these recommendations. A recent example is when GI-Land voted to change it's name to Gianatla. The Foreign Office then recommended a change of the name in Sedunnic to Djannatla to reflect the new name and to approximate the native pronunciation. The Sedunnic government hopes that speakers of Austral will adopt these new terms.
