No one even mentioned Georgia, the country that constantly gets advertising targeted for Georgia, the state.
It's even more entertaining.
For example Manna-hatta was renamed by Europeans (specifically the Dutch) New Amsterdam and later renamed again by Europeans (this time the English) as New York.
By the time there were officially "Americans" (i.e. after the Independence of the United States) the deed was already done.
Canada did it right, and just named the city without adding new.
London Ontario, Paris Ontario, Berlin Ontario (before it was renamed over a minor European dispute).
Unfortunately Nova Scotia was already called that before it joined.
Still better than I'd do naming things. It'd just be Landplace 1, Landplace 2, etc.
-This road
-That road
Don't forget underscores for easier parsing! Landplace_1, Landplace_2...

Sometimes they didn't even do that much. Which is why there's a Portland in Maine and a Portland in Oregon
It’s actually more like “Noo”.
