You have to vote it into existence first!
Democracy XD
Someone linked me this (apparently Norway is combining to administrative districts and there's a vote for what the new name should be or something?) and I find it hilarious. Is Mordor a word that means something in Norwegian, or is this a straight up LotR reference?

If this gets through it would seem that, in fact, one may simply walk into Mordor.

This remember me when the British Armada did something similar to name a new boat, and the biggest spanish-speaking forum on the internet did a trolling campaing to name it "Blas de Lezo". The british goverment censured that option 
I have give my vote to Mordor!

This explains why casual democracy is often a bad thing. The government after that farce had to use the name Boaty McBoatface for something and gave the name to a submersible carried by the RRS Sir David Attenborough.

Just think about the moral impact in the enemy if Boaty McBoatface destroys something in a war. It will be worth it!

Considering Boaty McBoatface is a scientific submarine doing research in the Antarctic, I think their surprise would be quite understandable.

Problem here is that now this poll has gone viral or every Norwegian who looks at it either seriously or with intention to add to the joke, there will be many non-Norwegians who know nothing about the meaning ad context of the Norwegian place names but have heard of Mordor and will be happy to vote for lulz as they dont live in the same country.
At this stage the organisers should abandon the poll.

I don't think the poll is going to end up being official otherwise it wouldn't be accessible by non Norwegian IPs.
It's hosted on a newspaper's website (at least I think it's a newspaper...) so for all I know cause I can't read Norweagian and its weird zero 'o's it might just be something the paper is doing.
Doesn't diminish that it should still totally be called Mordor XD
