New Berlin, New Tokyo, New London...

Okay... I'm pretty interested into the naming of the Liberty Capital.
All other Houses: Rheinland, Kusari and Bretonia named their Capital systems (and planets) after their counterparts back to Earth. But here comes The LIBERTY! Which names it's Capital system New York... and even gives their first planet the name of Manhattan.
I'm a bit confused about that... Why they have did this? Maybe, I have missed something in StarLancer's plot? Maybe, Washington was destroyed during the Great War?

Discuss and give your opinions here.

Because New York is the most famous American city probably, and New New York would be stupid and Manhattan is just awesome and fits well.

yap :cool: Washington was destroyed, sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune". At first the presidents were willing to follow the divine laws. In its spirits mildness and wisdom were united. However gradually they began to expire to give way to the human weaknesses. So their nearness to the Gods began to decrease until Zeus made an end of that...

and thats why NEW York its called New York ^^

New York is more important and socially relevant to the United States than Washington D.C.

The former being a symbol of prosperity to immigrants and business men alike, the latter being an impoverished city where elected officials go to Q_Q.

I don't see anything extremely abnormal about it. If I were to be disturbed by this, I'd be running around the forums all day, screaming about naming style of Discovery-added stuff.

WHY NOT?

New New York, so good they named it twice.

I agree, it always irked me that it was not named "New Washington" or "Columbia". Hell, a lot of the systems irked me; like how Belfast and Cardiff aren't system names despite both being capitals in the UK.
