Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Socialist Federation of Sanghyeok
サンヒョク社会主義連邦外務省
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
Following the abdication of the Heisei Emperor in 2019, thus ending the last monarchy on the planet, the United Socialist Federation of Sanghyeok has been in deliberation as to the new Era Name of this period. Though the name will ultimately be decided by referendum of the citizens, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is interested in which Era Names receive the most positive perception from the multitudes of nations around this universe. The following, in ranked order are the most popular according to pre-referendum polls.
1. 万化 ばんか Banka, "Countless Changes"
2. 建平 けんぺい Kenpei, "Creating Peace"
3. 仁治 にんじ Ninji, "Benevolent Rule", a previously used Era Name from the 12th century
4. 永咲 えいさく Eisaku, "Eternal Bloom"
5. 令和 れいわ Reiwa, "Beautiful Harmony" using what would have been the new Emperor's Era Name despite the abolishment of all monarchies
6. 元德 げんとく Gentoku, "Origin of Virtue"
7. 建安 けんあん Ken'an, "Creating Tranquility", a previously used Era name from the 3rd century
8. 建楽 けんらく Kenraku, "Creating Happiness"
9. 延仁 げんにん En'nin, "Extending Benevolence"
10. 延和 げんわ Enwa, "Extending Harmony", previously used Era Name from the 8th century
11. 仁久 にんじ Ninji, "Everlasting Benevolence"
12. 長善 ちょうぜん Chozen, "Everlasting Kindness"
13. 咲来 さくら Sakura, "Coming Bloom", but also the name of Chairwoman Oomiya
14. 平成 へいせい Heisei, "Reaching Peace" keeping the old Emperor's Era Name despite the abolishment of all monarchies
15. No Era name at all
We would appreciate the input of our counterparts in other foreign ministries regarding which names have the most positive perception. Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
Yours truly,
