message: The name should be changed to 'Holy Roman Nation of the German Nation' as it was officially named at that time, pls see article. Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.79.182.210 (talk) 11:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We usually refer to the commonly used name instead of the official name, just like we would print "Mexico" instead of the "United Mexican States". Note that the article is still named Holy Roman Empire, and the link to Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation redirects to that page. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:41, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
