History
Etymology
"Sliet" is a Luepolan word that translates most directly to "council" or "assembly", as is reflected in the translation of its official name "Federal Council...". The word in colloquial Luepolan speech is synonymous with the word Sbor, which is officially used to denote the individual chambers with in the Sliet; as Sbor and Sliet share the same foreign translations, the word Sliet is recommended to be used to refer to the overall Luepolan legislature, a practice which was picked up by most Patyrian nations. It is derived from the proto-Molvic verbal stem of vět-iti ("to inform"), which is related to proto-Molvic věst ("news") and to Borish weten ("to know"; cf. wetenschap, "science").
