Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic league.
How do you pronounce Polesotechnic? I can't find it online. I say Po lees(accent) oh technic. But my husband says Polly so technic.

Re: Polesotechnic: how do you pronounce it?
I've always pronounced it poly-so-technic. I don't know if it's right, but that's the way I hear it in my head when I read it.
If you consider the word poleso to be Spanish, it'd be pronounced po-lay-so
However, it was supposedly Karen Anderson who invented the League's name from the Greek terms for "commerce and technology." As far as I know though, "emporio" is greek for commerce.
