How about a Helvetian Republic in FI with Rhaeto-Romance as the official language? Using Austrian German (one of the international languages) would be politically unacceptable as a national language; Provencal is another language of the Hapsburg empire, therefore unacceptable; French is a minor language; Nordisk is too unlike German and too far away. Rhaeto-Romance, on the other hand, is a small local language without supernationalist tendencies that sounds German and has Romance syntax. Thoughts?
