My wisdom:
Tell that to Austria - Österreich. That means "Eastern realm", since there are no countries more to the East of anything than them. Or hell, Iceland. And Niger is named after the river Niger, which might come from ger-n-ger meaning "river of rivers", so that's another wonderfully unambiguous name.
I'm sure there are other great examples.
Meanwhile Czech name for Germans is "Němci", which means "Those who can't speak", as compared to Slavs (Slovani) which is "Those who can speak".
I'm talking about the name, we were "United states of Brazil" from our republic until 1968, after that the name changed to "Federation republic of Brazil". I'm dont know a lot about how powerful states were back then, so what changed, but today states in Brazil have a little fraction of the independence that US states have.
there's no such thing as a pacific or atlantic ocean, only the californian ocean and the floridian ocean
Hate hate hate that there’s no one cute unambiguous unabbreviated name for the United States of America:
No other country has "America" in the name, so "America" works. What other country could it possibly be?
United means together; States means not together
Hence "E pluribus unum."
Honestly? If we allow any other territory or country into the union, I personally feel we should rename to The United States of Humanity. The end goal of the US is a Diplomatic victory, since we already have claimed Economic Victory.
It's more likely to be called the United Christian Kingdom, which will be shortened unironically to the UK by the idiots that live here
