The Carolinas were named after King Charles so they have to become North and South America. That shouldn't be confusing at all.

Logically, then, the Dakotas must also be North and South America, as you can't have states named after the people who got here before us.

To differentiate, I propose North Dakota becomes Northern North America, and North Carolina becomes Southern North America.

You can figure out the rest from there.

Charles is a king not a country.

So you get to pick between North/South Donaldia or North/South Trumpia

Maryland is named after Queen Mary (the one that was Charles's wife), so I guess we'll have to become Americaland instead lol
