    Wendigo

    It’s an Algonquin cryptid / monster with an insatiable hunger for human flesh and a love of murder. Generally evil. Also known to smell bad.

    Honors our native heritage and says something about our beloved country’s strength of character.

    Formally: Jeb! Informally: Jebland Dialectical variant of English: Jeblish Collective name for the people of Jebland: Jebanese

    I’m kidding of course. We all know the process to rename the U.S. would be taken over by the wealthy and we’d wind up named HCH (Human Capital Holdings), LLC, a shell corporation/nation that is jointly owned by Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street.

    As Amerigo is the Italianized version of the German ‘Emmerich’, is call it like that.

    Bonus is that there is a very unassuming German border town called thusly.

    OK hear me out: It should be named after the first European explorer to discover it and popularize the European expansion: Christopher Columbus.

    • Like its namesake, the nation too is racist, cruel and genocidal. Even the Spanish Inquisition era Catholics were like, damn Christopher!
    • Like the largest exporter of cocaíne in South America, it too is full of drugs, and its elections are the plaything of big money cartels and foreign powers.
    • It was mostly settled by white people from England.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your new nation: British Columbia.

    Stolidus

    • It sounds strong and powerful
    • It’s Latin, and therefore properly awesome.
    • It’s definition is: foolish, absurd, dumb, forceless, powerless

      Your first it’s is correct. It is Latin.

      Your second it’s should be its. The definition belongs to the word. But to be fair, I typed it correctly, and then just now had to go back and fix the autoincorrection. So that probably happened to you as well.
