Etymology
The Name Neuborrnia-Merientalia comes from proposed names from two stradan politicians who had proposed a name for their new micronational project.
Neuborrnia, proposed by Aaron Penyami, based on the two words 'Neu' meaning new in German and 'børr' meaning born in High Stradan. The two words combined Neubørr meaning new-born suggests the idea of Neuborrnia-Merientalia being a newborn and 'the new face of Pejaten'.
Merientalia, proposed by Arda Sandya, originating from the word 'meridien-orientalis' meaning southeast in an unidentified langauge.
