Holy moley, people still reply to this thread!

But yeah, in case more translations are needed, I can help with the Chinese and Cantonese ones.

In an earlier translation of "Happy Birthday George," you forgot the long vowel. 誕生日おめでと
Republic in Japanese is the same as in Chinese, 共和国 (kyouwakoku, forgive me for being unable to type long marks).
And for beautiful, it's more common to use 美しい.
Which makes it 美しきアランダウン共和国. But as a heads up it's incredibly awkward to use a Japanese reading in something as official as a nation's name.

I haven't translated Arumdaum's name anyway, are you his puppet?


I do not think he is Arumdaum's puppet, judging by the fact that he/she speaks (semi-fluent? read that from another post) Japanese, which Arumdaum probably did not. :p

Also, I am the one who translated Arumdaum's name, and apparently I screwed it up. :p "民国" is (supposedly) from the classical Chinese term for republics, which did get used in Japanese as well, but only for republics that still use it as part of their official name (namely Republic of China and Republic of Korea).

I still prefer it though. Sounds more classy.

Sorry, I was indiscriminately replying to any mistakes I saw. And in regards to using minkoku for republic, I never noticed that, and I agree that it does convey a more grandiose sense than using the normal term.

Hug me, kindred spirit! :D

Regarding the first one, I will need to know what the "blood" means. Does that mean the legitimate lineage of the monarch, or a rule that focus on the utilisation of physical violence and discipline?

The second one will be 榮予東帝 or 榮予東皇.

The legitimate linage of the monarchy, sorry, I should've specified.

I am thinking of 皇胤道統, which is suitably archaic. :p

Essentially, 皇 (or 帝, as shown above) means "emperor"; 胤 means lineage (and 皇胤 is indeed used to denote the legitimate lineage of the emperor... in Japan). 道統 is basically the Confucian (and then Chinese at large) concept of political legitimacy based on both lineage and the Mandate of Heaven.
