== Etymology ==
The name ''Nisserige'' is derived from a portmanteau of the words ''Nisser'', meaning Gnome, and ''Rige'', meaning realm. The name came into popular use following the Revolution as a non-monarchical substitute name for the country. The word ''Nisser'' comes from the old Nisser word ''Nisse'', meaning ''People of the Nisser''. The word ''Rige'' is derived from the Vernacular Nisser ''rige'', of the same meaning. Its unclear as to who exactly proposed the name for use as the country's standard, but it was most likely [[Greulf Anselm]].
