I live in a country that has tha gall to call itself the United States of America.

I have a problem with this.

We're not the only country in America. There are 33 others.

We're also not the only country that's composed of multiple smaller political entities, or states, put together.

As a matter of fact, one country even is also united states of America!


We need to fix this! Submit your suggestions for better names for the country between Canada and Mexico today!

How about the United States of NORTH America. That is, if you really care so much.

Canada has provinces, those are like states (or are they the same thing? )

I don't really care too much about the name of the USA.

Mexico is in North America. Don't get me started on our country's school systems.

We are the United States of America because that is what we quite literally are. And, as the largest United States, we take precedence. And don't say Canada, because they're provinces.

How about "The United States That Are Between Canada And Mexico."

Actually, the original name for America (the continent) was "Mundus Novus", meaning "new world"...IMO they should have kept that name, instead of going with something starting and ending with "A" like four other continents...

You mean 31. You counted Alaska and the United States.

Call it Boobs.

And the flag can be the Stars and Stripes, just replace the Stars with Nipples.

Hes from Navada which is in the USA...

Anyway, I think it should be called Vinland also. Vikings are cool! There like human bulls with beards. Vinland sounds cool too.

If we call it Vinland, would we have to replace the flag with one of those Scandinavian crosses that are so popular over in Viking-land?

Call it the United States of Virginia and Massachusetts.. They were the first two colonies. And for those in other states, dont you think The United States of Alaska, Alabama, New York, California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticuit... ...and New Mexico seems kinda long?

Actually, on second thought, go with the Boobs

Anyway, I vote for Amans. Because it sounds like it could be the name of a country. Countries have wierd names.

Actually, Vinland would be the name of Canada, not the US. Leif Eriksson never went to the US. The southernmost Viking settlement found is in Newfoundland (though it's argued they must have been further south, since grapes do not grow in Newfoundland).
