Etymology
The name of the State of Assimia is derived from the Assimian Islands, where it is located. Like the Assimas Islands, the Assimian Islands are named after Assim Asteris, the Caldian explorer who discovered Asteria Superior. Originally organized as the Assimian Islands Territory, advocates for statehood thought the name "State of the Assimian Islands" was too long and unwieldly, preferring a shorter and more versatile name. Instead, they proposed "Assimia" as a shortened version and it was adopted when statehood was obtained in 1980.
