Hmm so maybe I'm confusing myself with official statements and 2nd hand info on that one... still, Kurdish and Kurdistan seems to be the majority agreement on the romanization of the thing from what I can tell (certainly the subbers seem to agree). Certainly they have no problem using real life organizations like the Tamil Tigers, the Real IRA and locations like Ceylon Island (aka former Sri Lanka). Wouldn't be a stretch for them to use the actual Kurdistan tag instead of a made-up name, like Azadistan, especially considering the current situation regarding said ethnicity.

As for pullung punches, was referring more to the naming scheme and sense, which seem to be pretty consistent so far (though I wonder when people on other boards take offense to names like "Rasul"/"Ras-Al" etc.)
