No worries, gotta learn somehow, right? "Soleighlen" was an honest typo, but "Fiôvâ" is how I've generally seen it on both here and the wiki so I didn't want to do the "Fine Folks of Fiôvâ" a disservice by misspelling their province. I'm assuming at least one of those accents is gone nowadays?
It's a question of stylistic consistency, I guess. "Fiôvâ" is in the pre-2007 spelling that was/is popular with the Republicans even after Reunision, while in the 2007 spelling reform that was popular with the Kingdom it was changed to "Fiova". Nowadays the prefered spelling is "Fiovă", but which spelling to choose is a matter of which style youre using and staying consistent with that. Since you're not using Ă anywhere else (which is valid), it wouldn't make much sense to use it here either. So the two remaining styles would be the pre-2007 version Repúblicáes da Fiôvâ, and the 2007 version Republicaes da Fiova. The latter would be consistent with the other names, but the former would be particularly on brand for Fiovă so the choice is yours.
Finally to get back to the original topic of the thread, I'm a huge fan of this idea here, and I hope it succedes.
