"New" anything sounds like a city name. I like the Apolyton Empire, but the ST fan in me votes for the "Apolytonian Dominion."

I go for The Apolyton Empire, but I still think United World was a good idea!

It is a democracy so I think that should be expressed in its name. Therefore I vote for "the peoples republic of Apolytonia".

Another vote for Apolytonian Dominion. That's what I'd say if it was on the poll.
But since its not, I'd say The Apolyton Empire.

Apolytonia. When I suggested it, I did not know it was used in the Civ2 game. Brilliant minds think alike, I guess.

How about Dominion of Apolyton?
Apolytonian Dominion rhymes too much - kindof awkward.

Where's my suggestion:
The Glorious Liberation of the People's Technocratic Republic of the United Apolyton Individuals by the Combined Forces of the United Territories of Europe, America and New Zealand.

It would win. Which in this case might not be so good.

I would vote for the Dominion of Apolyton. I wouldn't vote for Apolytonia because it is only one word. Dominion of..., Republic of..., and the United... sound much better than one word, and out of all of those Dominion of... sounds the coolest. And with empire in the title it makes our nation sound sinister. We're the good guys, remember? Please make a new poll with more options!!!!!!!!

Again, I ask, what is being United here? 
'Republic of... ' is acceptable, but 'United' anything just doesn't make any sense.

As I said over in my campaign posts, the people are at the heart of this empire, so the People's Republic it must be! And talk like Yoda I do!

People's republic sounds too Communist, virtually ever communist nation calls themselves this. Aren't we supposed to be a democracy?
