Change 'Americana' back to 'United Americas'

[Azande]

Americana is a dumb word. It looks like Jackboot went America-Canada and made that the name of North-South-Central America.

Worse so is that Americana is already a word, describing tacky American shite.

Change it back to United Americas or use an alternative and BETTER name.

I second replacing the name "Americana", but United Americas is worse. It's only one, North America, so how is it "United Americas"? To me it seems like an awful attempt to emulate (pre-)cold-war era fiction like 1984 by redrawing political boundaries at will and giving them cool, pithy names, but all it does is demonstrate an utter lack of understanding of why geopolitical boundaries are where they are.

I'll tell you why it's United America's, because we have graciously spread Democracy and cheeseburgers to every corner of that great rock we call Earth and everyone should show their unbridled solidarity and appreciation by uniting under our flawless freedoms and not at all abhorrent late stage capitalism.

There are three states on earth. With all other planets United under OWGs that is more than enough. 

[AmoryBlaine]

United Americas, is the better name. I like it. Please fix. Thanks.

Please note, in support or nah, this thread is asking for a rename -- Not a one world government, and not even a new American government.

Why not just call it America. ???

Americana actually includes all three of the Americas, the United Americas did not originally but would now I assume. I'm only suggesting the name be changed, no reverting back to the old geography.

Americana sounds like a delicious coffee

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

It cant be united americas because that entity was replaced as a government.

How about Gran Americana. Americana is a term used to describe artifacts and history of the usa and the americas.

[Butterrobber202]

how about "America". Since North and South America with their cardinal directions removed = America.

Too boring imo

why can’t it be boring, we don’t have to call each continent “Americainfluezacapcino”, what matters is that know what we're talking about and being practical

Change it to "The Big Gay" and be done with it tbh.

The current name fits your criteria.

Well, good to know that I'm not the only one that think Americana should be on a Starbuck menu instead of the name of a nation. 

I do not really have an opinion about what it should be called, it could be a totally fake name for what I'm concerned (which is not much), but Americana does have a bad sound to it.

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

Gran America.

[Butterrobber202]

why can’t it just be America

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

Thats a country.

The "United States of America" is a country. But how about we slap an S on the end and make it "Americas" or "The Americas" if we're feeling formal.
