Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Ravne to Kneške Ravne (literally, 'Kneža Ravne') in 1953,[3] distinguishing it from nearby Tolminske Ravne (literally 'Tolmin Ravne') and similarly named settlements. The name Ravne is frequent in Slovenia and is adjectival in origin, resulting from ellipsis of the noun phrase ravne njive 'flat fields, level fields', referring to the local geography.[4]

gollark: I'd also worry that governments would insist on them having some overrides to stop people if they try murder or something (because murder is bad and if you disagree with this policy you're clearly pro-murder) which would then inevitably be expanded to other crimes and "crimes".
gollark: Unless they design the software ground-up with strong security and formal verification or something. But that doesn't seem to be what's happening.
