From time to time, I've toyed with the idea of trying to revive the world "commonwealth" for political purposes. In the States, it was used in the 19th century, but today it only survives as part of the official names of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and maybe some other states, but the basic idea of a "common wealth" which is exploited by the few has a lot of potential, I think.
