In English way of pronunciation and by rules it would go as 'Rhineland'. It should be pronounced like this, I guess, so I voted Rhineland.
Rhinoland 8-|||

Its Rheinland even though I find that name stupid.

Why? It makes sense to name your new nation after the most resource-rich region in your old state.

There is a certain cultural aspect that most non-Germans don't know ...
People from Berlin (for instance) don't like Rheinland that much:DIn fact, the German carnival taking place in the "Ruhrpott" area started as a parody of Prussian military (so to speak, it's not stated as that in the English wiki-link I think:D). And for those who are unfamiliar with the geographys and history: Berlin was the capital of Prussia:D
Anyway ... can I hijack this thread and ask for another name for the House of Rheinland?:D

No you can't. Anyway, Rheinland makes perfect sense in every aspect.
And it is, just as a reminder, spelled R H E I N L A N D (for all those of you who still haven't gotten it)

It's not neither Rheinland nor Rhineland. Get used to it.

Awwww :(
You still haven't said WHY it makes sense to you to call a whole nation after a somewhat resource-rich place on the ingame ancient and probably destroyed earth! :P
