Ethymology

The name Island of California was defined by public voting on the DOGENET during the transition period that followed the New York Compromise. It refers to the mythical island of California in the fictional story of Queen Calafia, as recorded in a 1510 work The Adventures of Esplandián by Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo. It is reported that the name started circulating in February 2045 on the DOGENET as a meme. From the words of Michael Hasik:

It was a joke at first, a meme. But as time passed, it clearly became the most popular option on the Doge. It evokes the idea of an independent, proud, separate state with a strong identity. We ended up loving it
