That's the idea.

How about spelling it Jay-Ruffians, sounds more rebellious.
Mmh, yeah... we'll have to find something else... Jay-refers ?

But we still need an exodus story to pass down to posterity, and we still need independence day to celebrate, or to take a day off!
We could take 14 March 2002 as the independence date, as it was when the forum started (although JREF started in 1999).

We could also think of a mythological origin, like Amaterasu in Japan or the Olympus in Ancient Greece. But we want to be modern and rational, so that kind of story is a bit at odd with our ideals.

And I wonder if mirroring our country is within the reacheable near future.
Do you want us (admins) to assign title of minister/secretary for each forum section and vice-minister for sub-forums ? Admins could be the presidents, prime-ministers or great leaders (or a combination of those). We could establish a tax system and official budget too. In that case tax-payers could vote for the way the budget is spend (eg. what script or site improvement to purchase, or whever th budget should finance the creation of JREF tshirts or other collectibles or not, etc.)
