That has a slight smell of neologism - is the term used anywhere
outside Wikipedia?

At least "Republic of Ireland" is something it's called in an official
document on the state's formation.

Putting the article on Macedonia the country at [[Republic of
Macedonia]] has at least kept the argument there down to a dull roar.

The other problem is that voting frequently sucks as a method of
ascertaining consensus.
