What country name sounds the most made up to you? Ruritania, anybody?

Yeah, like those U.S. guys. They always insist upon calling themselves after two entire continents! WTFu!

Ethiopia all the way.
One of my classmates remarked that it sounded like the name of an "underwater amusement park."

So help me, I want that on my tombstone.

I think that the "big knees" and "land swalower" parts ment he travled by foot is all.

Oh, and the old name of Switzerland (Helvetia) always amused me, for some reason. ^_^

Methods may be different, but we still are.
You know now that I think about 'United States of America' isn't a terribly original name...

Actually, I'd much prefer the longer name mentioned later, which translates to "The hill of the flute playing by Tamatea — who was blown hither from afar, had a slit penis, grazed his knees climbing mountains, fell on the earth, and encircled the land — to his beloved."
Also, South Georgia is an interesting one. It's a small UK-controlled island just South of the tip of South America.
...And as an American I think I can honestly say it's still not more Southern than Georgia.

I know it's not much, but it does apparently exist. Search on Google maps or something.
Edit: Ooh, wait. Has this been done?
Or Townsvillecity!
