What kind of silly country has more than one way of saying the name? Here in America, we just have one! And by America, I mean the United States of America... which seems kind of formal, so maybe just United States. Let's go with the abbreviated "USA," or better yet just "US." Something about adding the "A" makes it seem nationalistic, right?

I guess what I mean is, sure: we have some names, but not flowery epithets like "The Land of the Rising Sun." We don't need stuff like that in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I think I said too much.
