Omerica (/ˌoʊm(ə)ˈrikə/; French: Omerique, [ɔmʁik]), officially known as the United Republics of Omerica, is a sovereign state and federation of twenty-six republics. Historically inhabited by Celts and settled by Italic and Germanic migrants, Omerica is a cosmopolitan and multilingual state and shares a sense of community founded upon common historical ties, maritime symbolism and shared liberal democratic values.
Etymology
The modern name "Omerica" ultimately derives from the archaic Anglian "Homerike", roughly meaning "home realm". By the time of the Octarchy, the initial "h" had been deleted by the process of h-dropping, which was a universal process in vernacular Omerican Anglian during said era. The name was ultimately borrowed into Gallic as Omerique and Latinised as "Omerica", but the Latinisation did not come to prevail in common Anglian parlance until after the fall of the Saltsteadish Regency régime.
However, a number of languages instead use a translation of "the eight realms", a direct reference to the Octarchy. This is especially prominent in the non-Anglian Germanic languages, typified by Saltsteadish d' Åħtrijħen, and is also used in Mandarin (八道 Bādào), Japanese (八道 Hachidō) and Korean (팔도 Paldo).
