Alternatively, ARRIA is more natural. And it sings. Regarding the boring name, we could improve it by making the acronym TARRA and pronounce it “TAH-RAH”! Alternatively, ARRIA is more natural.

There is something bothersome about the two stars at the top that loose their shape to the outer edge - they could've lost only the tips of their points but not the entire shape perhaps. It seems distracting instead of flowing. The western leaf (left) bears away from the stem with a "chopped out" node which seems like it's been eaten at by an insect - again, not necessary and slightly distracting. But overall, it's essentially a refreshing departure from the traditional, rather exhausted American-style emblemagery and makes for a clear message in keeping with the victories and success already attained by your new government. Good job. Though none of my business as a non-American, I am interested in design and imagery, particularly when it communicates politically.
