I think Real World comparisons are necessary, actually.

What would you say if there was a Planet New Mexico City in the Mexico system, under Liberty control? Or a Planet Melbourne in Rheinland? Or Planet Moscow in Bretonia? I'd be against it.

Right then, I'll say this.

Geographicly, Canada is above the United States, and rather empty.

Same as these.
So, some Libertonian explorer (and the Liberty was prolly the sleeper that had Canadians, if any did) found these systems, and named them after places in Canada, which makes sense, in a way.
Now, whoever is colonizing them, it should be with Liberty's funding, since A: they are close to liberty, and B: liberty has funds where bretonia is a bit strapped for cash, what with the war.

Ergo, canadian systems, part of Liberty

Also, the US, Canada, and Mexico are working on an EU type economic union.

1) They'd use American names first... like Washington. They've a lot of states to use before they have to use foreign names.
2) It is not too analogous to the EU example. Trust me;)And even if it was a good reason for this, then we should have all of the EU countries represented in either Rheinland or Bretonia, with the likes of Planet Brussels in the Belgium system of Bretonia. Nada.

Also, I will state historical precedent again in that Bretonia (theoretically) owns Dublin.

Canada was still a semi-autonomous part of the UK in the period between 1867 and 1931. Technically Canada didn't become fully independent until 1982, but that is a technicality. Dublin and the Republic Ireland was freed from British control in 1921. If Bretonia owns Dublin, they should own Ontario too.

Point is, you people are discussing semantics...Bretonia cant control them, and Igiss isn't going to rename them.
And Americans have always wanted to own canadia.

And they failed.

And why can't they be renamed to Ohio or Utah? There's nothing in them yet.

How about this shocking concept, make them independent worlds using Bretonia as a base template for them?

I have a fetish for all things Norse.

I honestly think, that, they should be very fresh, libertonian colonies.
Like, as the year gets moved forward for the next mod release, they should be just the very bare bones of a colony, having been started during the year 816. that way, there is no need for retconning the storyline. Make them not really libertonian colonies, just including libertonian businesses (because, business has the power, and funds, for this sort of expansion. The bare bones of a brand new hacker base can be fighting Ageria in the area.

But wouldn't Liberty name a system 'Florida' before using 'Ontario'?

I personally don't care, and think it is so far besides the point as to be you spamming this thread, blunt.
Take it up with Igiss in the misprints thread if you want it changed so badly.
