Actually the prefix Kil- is an anglicisation of the Irish for "church", as in the town of Kildare ("church of the oak") So a better translation would be "of the Black Church". It sounds cooler, in my opinion anyway, lol

"Practically all small states, no matter whether they are republics or monarchies, prosper merely by reason of the fact that they are small; that all the citizens know and watch over one another; that the leaders can see for themselves the evil that is being done, the good they have to do; and that their orders are carried out before their eyes."
