1) "Viênsità" literally means "Unity". I think uniun is a piss-weak word which isn't etymologically related to the other Talossan words for "one", and I would rather not use it in Republican Talossan.
2) All the other words for "progress" use the stem "progreß-", not "progreç-". They are pronounced identically, and the long s (replacing a double s) is once again etymologically correct. I actually suggested a long while ago that the letters ß and ç be merged in Talossan - Tomás thought it was etymologically dodgy, but it would actually be more consistent than what Ben did in practice.
To sum up: I prefer the first translation (VPT) for etymological consistency and prettiness.
