ROKU!

In order to come up with a name for the "station", we had to combine aspects of the language from each country.
I looked up the word "peace" in many different languages. 
In Ecuador, people speak mostly spanish or quichua. Their words for peace are paz and qasikay. In Zimbabwe, many different languages are widely used, some being Dombe, Ndebele, and Shona. Their words for peace were ukuthula and runyararo. 
In Malaysia, people primarily speak Malay. The word in Malay for peace is keamanan.

I tried many combinations using these words, knowing that the end result had to be short (only two or three syllables). I came up with: kayro, keaz, siku, kaparo, etc...

End Result: ROKU
