| I think we should rename Cyprus to the "People's Republic of Cyprus". Any other suggestions? |

What about the indigenous animals that live here  ...... some of them have been here way longer than the GCs ( > 12,000 years).

Greek.god,having the name 'People's Republic' in Cyprus' name implies that it is a Commie country like China is.I reckon that Cyprus should be known as the 'Federal Republic of Cyprus'.
Cyprus is supposed to be a dimokratia/cumhuriyeti (a democratically run republic) anyway,irrespective of which community each elected representative comes from.

| In the event of Cyprus being divided, may I suggest "Donkopolis" for the South and "Muletown" for the North ?. |
