USA: The Country without a name...
Suga Foot:
The United States Of America is a description, not a name. It's like calling Canada "The United Provinces of America". Kinda weird that the USA was never actually given a name.
One other thing I noticed. Look at the Washington Family Coat of Arms:
Stars and Stripes! And is that an Eagle on top?
Don Jacob:
well it kiddna has something do with the fact of how the US came to be and the ideals of the big states and little states
Trauma-san:
Hmmm, I really don't think it's that strange. The land wasn't called "America" by the natives, it was a name given the entire area by settlers. So "America" in a sense is a name given this entire area, and the "United States of America" is a portion of the bigger area named "America".
Trauma-san:
Oh, and one of my favorite country names is "L'cote D'voire" (probably horribly misspelled)
"The Ivory Coast", another descriptive name
Suga Foot:
U.A.E is another
