Oh... the reason I favor "Queen Marina" over "Princess Marina" is that Azadistan is usually translated as a "Kingdom". Of course I am not sure if "王国" is a Kingdom precisely. The Japanese Wiki seems to agree UK and Saudi Arabia are "王国", Abu Dhabi is a "首長国", Monaco is a "公国", Luxemburg is a "大公国".
Oh... how interesting... Prince is not necessarily a son of a King, I guess I was misled by the Chinese definition of Prince. And unlike King, Duke, President, Chairman, and Head of State, Japanese doesn't assign a 1-to-1 Kanji translation to Prince or Princess. They use Katakana in general, or assign one of several kanji compounds "王子" for a son of a King, "親王" for sons and grandsons of the Japanese Emperor, "皇太子" for Crown Prince etc. I do accept that she could be a Princess of a Kingdom, with or without a King or Queen. It would not be the only contradiction in G00 story or offical website. Ok, we have pretty much exhausted the issue of Marina. Now let's practice reciting "Queen Hilary Her Highness" :-D -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
