Etymology

The name 'the Rhinelandes' comes from the geographical area over which the nation resides. The river Rhine runs through the entire country and has been a major resource for the nations that resided in the area prior to confederation. The river is also a centre for the local culture with the prior-confederation nations that residing along the path of the river having a similar culture to one another. Due to the significance of the river economically and culturally, upon confederation, the name of the Rhinelandes was chosen to show the equality of all the new states that made up the confederacy.

The correct term for a citizen of the Rhinelandes is a "Rhiner" or a "Confederate".
