If I may: the Longvant! For political reasons please overlook the vague resemblance to a crescent and star.
The primary fallout of this would, of course, be that Egyptians and the Lebanese could no longer argue about who has the best food. I guess we start bullying the Greek and Italians.

I have been looking at 80s and 90s word processors with no real goal in mind, but I do kind of want to setup one as a keyboard or terminal for a modern computer.

During WWII Augignac went from few Jews to receiving "les repliés", thousands of Alsatian speaking refugees. They huddled in abandoned farms and later the people of the region forged papers for them or hid them in the dense woodlands. A fine legacy.
