What should the "HRE test" be called?

I'm talking about the test which questions the validity of an entity's official name, for example:
---
>Holy
>Roman
>Empire
---

I personally like the term "three chevron test". What other names would you give it? "Voltaireposting" always works, but it sounds memey.

Onto another question - what country are you from and how does it perform on the test?

> Commonwealth
> of Australia

Commonwealth (n.) - a state formed for the common good -

Australia (n.) - the continent Australia

I think Australia succeeds the test on a moderate level at least, given it's fourth on inequality adjusted HDI and it covers what people think is the continent of Australia.

This is very difficult to say while keeping a straight face. I wonder who can, because indeed it is hard.

"Federal", you say, while grinning like Merkel did. "Federal", it is its name. But then, thinking of "Federal", you think about all the states which have no freedom to act how they want. You think about all those who tried to fuck with the states. You think about the chokehold Berlin has on the country and how their political sphere is dominated by the "Federal" government.

But then, the funniest is coming: "Republic". Yes, now, you cannot contain your laughter. "Republic", it is called despite the fact that this "Republican" body has frequent stifling of freedom of speech and basic rights, a "Republic" so rife with corruption that the former communist states of Europe refused to copy it. An authoritarian regime and a nanny state, yes, but still calling themselves "Republican".

And now, here is the end of the fun: "Germany". Now you fell on the ground, laughing so hard that you cannot breathe. "Germany", a body made of states of former petty duchies and counties, a country which lost its important Eastern German lands, now full of Turks and Polish guest workers. A "German" country which will have no ethnic Germans left living on its soil by the end of the century.

We're about half way there.

Check, there was no monarch in power, most of the power was in the hand of the citizens.

>Of the 7 united
Semi-check? There were offcially 7 Dutch provinces that started the Republic working together politically, but in reality there were 2 more provinces directly governed by the States-General.

On another note, Australia isn't a continent, Oceania is. Australia comes from the term "Terra Australis", which means southern land. There is however a larger more southern land, Antartica.

For the moment, yes, though devolution and referendums are becoming more and more accepted as parts of the political process, so perhaps not for much longer.

>Kingdom

Yes, thankfully. Fuck republicanism.

>Of

Yes.

>Great

If by great you mean the nation comprising the largest of the British Isles, then yes, for the moment, this is still true, at least until Scotland becomes independent. And of course if you mean great in terms of quality then yes we're still pretty cool, fuck the continentals.

>Britain

Still controlling the vast majority of the British Isles does largely entitle us to this claim, particularly as related to 'Great Britain', which we still entirely control as a unified state.

>And

Yes, this too.

>Northern

By and large, yes.

>Ireland

This is a contentious one, but as relating to 'Northern Ireland', yes we still control the six counties, though of course that doesn't comprise all of the north of the island of Ireland, but at least the majority enough to claim a nation's name from it.

All in all, I think we live up to our name.

us nerds amirite

>>
>>3063960
Closer to the truth is that these Bulgarians speak a form of Macedonian, and not the other way around. Ancient Greeks considered Ancient Macedonians inferior, lower class, barbarians and so forth, they never saw Macedonians as Greeks and that is Greece Achilles heel. There is evidence of it in writing and it could be used by locals to separate them selves from Greece. The ancient claim on Macedonia as being Greek is complete bullshit. For about 3400 years there were Greek people but not a unified Greek kingdom or Republic of any kind. Greeks weren't called Greeks because of the country they came from but the region.
>>
>>3064105
Just because Macedonians were considered a different group of Greeks than most Greeks, doesn't mean they weren't Greek, ethnically, linguistically, and religiously.
And the people of the FYROM are, in no way, shape, or form, related to the people of Alexander's Macedon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonians_(ethnic_group)

Learn something. You are obviously a foreigner to Macedonia and Macedonians, and it's clear you have a political agenda. There is physically no such thing as Slavic blood. Just because we may speak a Slavic language doesn't change that we've always been Macedonians ethnically. Are you gonna tell me Palestinians are just Arabs because they speak Arabic? No, they are indigenous to Palestine, they just have changed linguistically.

Actually it holds all the power, it just doesn't execute that power for the most part. But every act of the British Parliament is backed by the ultimate authority of the monarch.

FYROMians speak a Western Bulgarian dialect.
The ""Macedonian"" language was created in 1944.
Before the 19th century, they considered themselves as Bulgarian.


The difference between the FYROMians and Bulgarians is smaller than between Croats and Serbs, although Croatian and Serbian are both based on the same dialect (Štokavian).

WRONG.

Bulgarians speak a form of Macedonian, not the other way around. The modern meaning of Bulgarian was merely to denote church affiliation, just as greek was. Hence the overnight bulgarization/hellinization of the Macedonian people in the 19th century.
