My opinion as a player:
"Nadiya" has been more or less adopted by those working with Trigunia.
The Matriarchist Church, which I never understood, seems to nonetheless have been extensive RPed anyway. It ultimately doesn't matter if I don't understand it. I'd say Svet has a unified vision for it, and has held to that vision, despite the best efforts of other players, myself included, to argue that it represents a radical departure from the established RP (or realism--I can't think of a strongly patriarchal religious order that tolerated that sort of patriarchy, but just from women.) Whether it did or not, it is now the established RP, and ignoring it would be ignoring more than a year of consistent Rp on Svet's part, and so with each passing day, it becomes more and more canon.
I still personally take issue with the possibility, in terms of realism, of so many widely varying and distinctly identifiable ethnic and language groups existing in one place (edit: without a creole or pidgin developing to allow them to be mutually intelligible) after all these millennia. In the real world cultures blend across the space of a human life (not to mention hundreds of human lifetimes) and language erosion and accretion are a constant and relentless daily process anytime two languages meet and are forced to co-exist. But again: this is not up to me. And as a couple people have pointed out, not every place is like the US, where there are close to a million square miles of territory where almost everyone in them calls themselves American.
My rule is, I just want things to make sense. But I also note that Svet has shown strong commitment to this line for a while now. Consistently referring to the country as Nadiya. Consistently utilizing these groups, consistently playing these religions. And while I do know people have spoken about staying within the the existing CP, I also remember the critique I used to get more often when I would rebel against nonsense ephemeral players were trying to do to Kalistan, that "things change."
If I were a moderator, I would vote to approve the changes to the CP and the name change. As a player, I can only wish Svet luck.
