But dynastic names don't work that way. It'd work as Wettin-Orleans, where a Wettin was created the Duke of Orleans and several generations later, his successors became Kings of France.

It would be Wettin-Orleans in the <dynasty>-<line-by-location> pattern, yes. However, the name of the Orleans branch is meant to survive. Its a continuation of the Bourbon-Orleans line through the female line.
As said, Habsburg-Lorraine. Dynastic names DO work that way if everybody agrees on it, continuity (and hence name descent) through the female line IS possible.
Then that's what happened instead. *RETCON*
It is? Well ain't that just dandy!
This all sounds about right, and I'm kicking myself for not googling it before. The technocratic thing works wonders with the theme, and you're awesome for bringing it up.

Nooo! As said right aboev your post, keep female continuity!
As you said, like Habsburg-Lorraine.
But wasn't that because they inherited the title Duke of Lorraine with it?
I approve of the "It works because I say so and I have three hundred thousand men ten miles from your house" approach to genealogy, of course.

No. That only works if a cadet line somehow began to rule there, or elsewise distinguished itself connected with that title...
The fact is in any case that by strict patrinlinearity it would be the House of Lorraine. Despite what Grey Wolf sometimes says here, though, it wasnt. Nobody calls A-H the Lorraine Empire! It was the House of Habsburg, and if one wished to be more exact, House of Habsburg-Lorraine. So it would be the same here - House of Olreans (or Line, really, of the House of Bourbon), or if one wishes to be exact Orleans-Wettin.
Ah, that works. TBH I was just running out of logical house names and wanted to make people scream bloody murder. My trolling is conducted via dynastic unions!

...geekiest way of trolling possible
Though I guess thats similar to the one "horror" mape I posted some time back with Polish Brandenburg and French Rhine border
Here is a very rough map of what an independent Quebec would look like. Many people seem to forget that not all of Quebec hates being Canadian. Also, if Canada is divisible then so is Quebec.

It seems to be somewhat prosperous, and it is in good trade location, I think.
Not realy, its just a label. Although Cracow has benifited as being the western end point for the Silk Rail Road.

It's a source of amber, steel and, uh, slaves. Not really what I'd call a wank.
