Rename Point Verdant to Shinryoku

[Kintsugi]

Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Very Small

Species: Human, Synth

Short Description: Konyang is a planet with three principal national origin points: Korea, China, and Japan. The cities on Konyang reflect this for the two former countries, but not the latter: No city on Konyang has a Japanese name. While this isn't ultimately a big deal, I do nonetheless think it's odd that Konyang has a city with an English name while lacking a city with a Japanese name. This suggestion seeks to rectify this by renaming Point Verdant to "Shinryoku", a word that google assures me is similar to "Verdant" in English. To prevent confusion, "Point Verdant" will remain as an alternate name for the city.

How will this be reflected on-station?: The city of Point Verdant on Konyang will instead be known as Shinryoku

Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: Yes.

Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team?: Yes.

Long Description: Here is what I would recommend changing the entry on the wiki for Point Verdant to:

Quote

Shinryoku, also known by its common name of Point Verdant, is the second most-populated city on Konyang, and the industrial heart of its robotics industry. It is by far the wealthiest city on Konyang, and one of the richest cities in the Coalition of Colonies. Shinryoku is home to the renowned Shinryoku Terraneus Institute of AI Research, and is the poster child for the rapid development of Konyang's cities during the robotics boom. The city is extremely wealthy, but suffers from persistent overcrowding and traffic issues in all of its districts. The Pusan District, near PVTI, had the reputation of possessing the worst traffic in the Alliance according to its residents. Air quality in Shinryoku is regarded as subpar, due to the amount of robotics factories within the city itself. Being one of the focal points of the Robotics Boom, it is home to a large number of expatriate communities and Einstein Engines employees.

Although we recognize the need for a name that better reflects Point Verdant's Japanese heritage, we have decided to go with a different name than Shinryoku.
