Its complicated

The less tricky bit of my arguement is -
joining Hair style to make Hairstyle is accepted in normal usage.
As bald is a style, I figured Bald style could one day also be baldstyled.
But that is not my question.

This is the tricky part ---
What are the considerations for adopting the name -
"Demographic Republic of Baldstyled"
and how can this ever become meaningful?

Well, first you need to arrange for a country to be called 'Baldstyled'. Are you sure you don't mean Democratic instead of Demographic ?

"Demographic Republic of the Bald"
"Demographic Republic of the Shining Pates"
"Demographic Republic of the Shiny Crowns"
"Demographic Republic of the Rogaine Addicted"

I was challenged in the recent past that

"Demographic Republic"

is wrong grammar. So wrong that she felt cross about it.

I am not so sure that its wrong. Can anyone please have some comments for this?

DavidLam"Demographic Republic"is wrong grammar.
Demographic is an adjective (or noun).
Republic is a noun.
It is grammatically correct to precede a noun with an adjective; in fact that pattern is more common than dirt.
DavidLamSo wrong that she felt cross about it.
Who is "she?"

Well your words are exactly what I had in mind when the words were put mine together.

A Nation (not bounded by borders) made up of Baldstyled and friends and this is your country which so happens is spread around the planet. This Nation is a Republic. There is no Democratic or Federal allegiance that ties everyone within, it is a Demographic that does.

So, where are the wrongs
