SARDONIKA (SPINews) -- Recently a Canadian visiting scholar at the Sardonika Policy Institute asked, by the by, why the United States had never gotten a proper name.
"We settled on Canada," he said. "If we had copied our American friends, we'd be the United Provinces."
SPI noted two other huge nations had similar names -- Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Peoples Republic of China -- but immediately launched a one-day $50 study to find a new name for the United States.
One idea is to simply to muscle aside all the other countries in the New World and go with "America".
Chief criterion for the final selection: Does it make for a rousing chant at the Olympics?
Other candidates are:
- Facebookia
- Bruuuuce
- I-70
- Tweetme
- Corpulentium
- Amnesia
- Whales
- Teapartyland
- Uncle Sugar
- The Holy Roaming Empire
- Gunnz
- Nebraska
- Jingonesia
- Limbaughland
- U Da Man
- Republic of Roadrage
- NIMBY

Makes sense to me. California has already been renamed Kahleefoneya by its governor.
