Etymology
Preli is the shortened version of the original name of the region known as Preliprestina. The most popular explanation as to why the nation shortened its name to Preli is a folktale when refugees arrived into the land following the Evil Replacement, they saw damaged signs from the explosion caused by the Nuclear Explosion of Sabmud only showing the words "Preli" on them, thereby causing those fleeing to believe they had arrived in Preli, thus giving the land it's new name.
However, historical scholars believe the word Preli comes from the native Brundian language for "Peace" and that Prestina is the name of a mythical goddess revered in Neskism (literally "Prestinas Peace" or “Peace from Prestina"), an extinct religion that no longer exists. Therefore, Muslims removed this part of the name and simply named the country Preli.
