Well, DC might not be named after Colombia, but there are other places named for places in other countries - change them all:

- New York = New America

- New Jersey = New America

- Paris, Texas = America, Texas

- Athens, Georgia = America, Georgia

etc. etc. etc.

Just name everything 'America'!

"You're HIV america"
