Rename the countries of the world

[Boojatta]

I will begin with four.

United States of America --> Altered States of America
Why not acknowledge that oil isn't the only thing that the USA (aka ASA) is addicted to?

Israel --> Goldstein

Having been born and raised in a religious, pro-revolution atmosphere in Tehran (...) Israel never existed except when Friday prayers would finish their "death to" chants with Israel. Everywhere else, even on maps, Tel Aviv was the capital of the "Zionist Regime" or "Occupied Palestine".

Iraq --> Tobaccoland
What would be the impact of daily news stories about people dying in Tobaccoland? Would smokers quit?

Turkey --> Tofurkeyland
Why not modernize the name? Tofurkey is the food. Tofurkeyland is the country.

1. United States of Jesus Christ

Iraq --> Halliburtistan

2. Three more plus

U.K. --> United Queendom
It's been a long time since the U.K. had a king. When Prince Charles becomes king, people are going to look back fondly to the days when the top monarch was a queen.

Egypt --> Pharaoh Mainland
If there's a country called the Faroe Islands, then surely Egypt should be known as the "Pharaoh Mainland."

Cayman Islands --> Cashman Islands
No explanation necessary.

Also, something has to be done about Estonia and Lithuania. There can only be one stone or monolith per planet. At least one of them needs a name change.

3. US = Northern Mexico

That'll scare those anti-immigrant forces to death!

Mexico = the Southern United States of America

Saudi Arabia = Oil Arabia

Iraq = Iraqylvania, the 51st state of the USA

4. An idea to keep Republicans busy complaining.

Christmas Island --> Holidays Island

Apparently it's a territory of Australia, not an actual country.

5. Using "Saudi Arabia" as a blueprint, we get three new names for countries:

Pakistan --> Musharrafi Pakistania
Cuba --> Castroi Cubia
Indonesia --> Suhartoi Indonesia
