"It sounds pretty farcical to me. We'd have to redact the Emperor's name from the loyalty oath, assuming you could even take the loyalty oath since I doubt Eleven wants to let you in the same room with the Emperor long enough to say anything, and you couldn't ever learn what the vast majority of planets and interplanetary governing bodies in the galaxy are commonly called because any one of them probably shares syllables with a few billion people's names. For that matter I guess I'm taking your word for it that you're not analyzing everything I say for possible name contents. But even if you're being nice and not peeking, most political entities aren't named things that are otherwise words."
