No, he did not. But I thought it was funny to say he was an immigrant, and it doubled as bait for people to call out that he wasn't. Hook, line, sinker?

Just got an image in my head of a map where it's just Xs dotted across the country titled X sandwiched between Canada and Mexico and the 'gulf of X (gulf of Mexico)'

"Just take interstate X southbound and get of at exit X towards X. If you see X you've give too far."

“Vinland” is what the Vikings who discovered the land named it. Not a bad name.

Were I to name it today I’d pick some foreign language version of “The Land of Pulling Up the Ladder” or “The Land of Crabs in a Bucket”.

how about turkish, Yukarıya Çekilen Merdivenlerin Ülkesi (Land Of Pulling Up The Ladder)

The vikings were there first (after the native Americans), so I'd go with Greater Norway.

Han Dynasty would be funny, not least because it doesn’t solve the problem

There’s also the Prince joke “Land formally known as USA”

It's "formerly." Whether or not he wore a suit didn't change his legal name back from the symbol

Break up the union and pick the name of the most powerful government that existed within the bounds of every state before the land was occupied by any old-world government.

Wendigo

It’s an Algonquin cryptid / monster with an insatiable hunger for human flesh and a love of murder. Generally greedy and evil. Also known to smell bad.

Honors our native heritage and says something about our beloved country’s strength of character.

Whatever the Cherokee word for "stolen land" is.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or, you know, the thousands of other languages that existed.

Sorry, distilling everything indigenous down to the Cherokee is a pet peeve of mine.
