>Hauts-de-France
>Grand Est
Who the fuck made these names up? It's like they're generated by a fucking computer.
>Beep-Boop this area is high on the map of France "High France" Beep-Boop-Boop-Bop
>Bop-Beep this area is big Beep-Bibble-Bop it's in the far East Beep-Beep "Big East"
It's what happens when you take regions with distinct cultures and histories and merge them into modernist blobs of territory

Neustria, a name with historical significance, was an option. Why the fuck did they go for Grand Est?
>>57476397
I really would like to know.
This is fucking dumb
>>57476169
Pour la blague ils auraient pu choisir 'Grand Orient'
>>57476397
>Neustria
This one was much more to the West though
>>57476634
It was "New Austrasia"
I think Alsatians voted against this one for obvious reasons.
Well most original settlement names are literal like that but in older languages. I suppose keeping the same names keeps consistency and maintains ties to history though.
>>57476397
Actually it was Nouvelle-Austrasie, but same thing. 'Grand Est" sounds like some magazine's title.
>>57476754
Pretty much this. I'm glad that they kept Normandy for example, but the rest may end up being lost in some clusterfuck reorganization.
If I were in charge, I'd simply name the entire Hauts-de-France clusterfuck 'Picardie'. It just became a bit bigger.

No way it could have been accepted by the people from Nord-Pas-de-Calais
Just no fucking way
>>57474851
Just the government trying to smother regional identity once more
>>57477111
Nord-Pas de Calais shouldn't have merged tbqh.
It should've been renamed something like "Pays-bas du Sud" or "Flandre-Hainaut-Artois""
>>57477293
Yeah, let's name the region after a country that doesn't own it or after two regions that aren't even in fucking France. Why not rename Zuid-Hollande Bouches de la Meuse if we're at it.
>>57477117
Butt-blasted provincial detected.
>>57477501
Nice try
I just hope you really are a Parisian because this shitty bait will make even more people think they are faggots
>>57477697
Désolé c'était tentant. De toute façon notre réputation n'est plus à refaire, et j'en ai parfois marre de jouer l'apaisement.
Ces noms sont quand même très moches je suis d'accord. J'avais voté Nouvelle-Austrasie moi, et Terre du Milieu pour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
They are trying to kill provincial identity in sweden too
Everywhere, centralization is stamping out individuality
>>57478462
>terre du milieu
on a vraiment manqué une bonne occasion
>>57478611
I honestly don't give a shit, for in the Ardennes there was no provincial identity whatsoever to begin with
>>57479505
Pourquoi ? C'est pas encore décidé non ?

Is Malmö going to be renamed New Mogadishu?
>>57483296
Sure why not, nobody cares about it anyway.
