I'd support renaming the United States specifically, but not the continents as a whole. Descriptive names like the "United States", "Central African Republic", and "Czech Republic" (good on them for changing it to Czechia) are just terrible. Any real country must have a name that can serve as a microcosm for the whole nation, encapsulating the land and its people in a single word. Since "Columbia" is already taken by the Colombians, and Christopher Columbus was a very problematic man, I propose we go with "Fredonia", as was suggested in the early 19th century.
