I personally would like to see the proposed Principality reflect Oklahoma the
same way Ansteorra reflects Texas and Calontir reflects the west-central
Midwest (Heartland). I've advocated 'Skraelingsheim', which would also be a
tribute to the large percentage of Norse personae, but have been told that
while Skraeling was PROBABLY a term used for North American natives in
period, it isn't a polite or complimentary term. I dunno anything about
Norse languages. Maybe a similar term in Spanish, Portuguese or Gaelic? Or
combine that with a reference to the soil and translate 'Redlands' into an
appropriate tongue?

OK, Diarmait has already addressed this and given examples. I'll back any of
his suggestions.
