Commonwealth of the Two Nations Explanation: The Institute of History has requested me to use this translation. There was an article published on what the official name should be, but can't say where it is located. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day6 hrs (2010-12-02 19:36:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I could have sworn I saw Republic in Mr. Kaminskas, but I apparently in my rush saw the asker's comment. It should be noted that the expression is always 'of THE United States', not 'of United States'. In turn, it should be 'of THE Two Nations'. One always refers to one's own state as The state, The people, etc. Google supports this with 123,000 hits for 'Commonwealth of THE Two Nations', but only 13,800 for 'Commonwealth of Two Nations' |
