Ethiopia.

Ethiopia all the way.

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

Well in the U.S.A.'s defense the rest of North & South America was completly subject to European colonization at the time...

So help me, I want that on my tombstone.

But you don't travle far and wide to play a nose flute to peole who you love...
I think that the "big knees" and "land swalower" parts ment he travled by foot is all.

Ivory Coast always seemed to me to be the name of a really nice beach, but then again it is an African country.

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.

They are probably referring to the country of Georgia, near Azerbaijan. :smirk:

Well, Taeshi has a policy of not creating emoticons for fan characters, so no Tess, McCain, Kizuña, Liam or so on.

Estonia? I would have to disagree with that sentiment, personally. ^_^

Oh, and it lies in Europe - between Latvia and Russia, across the sea from Finland.

Lol, France.

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!
