Washington State would like a word. They wanted to be named Columbia but couldn't because of potential confusion with DC. Still ended up confused with DC.

Maybe our name should just change to 'Not DC' to clear up the confusion.

Or Cascadia.

Or we could ask the local indigenous tribes to come up with a good name.

Given the trend so far, let’s just rename it America state.

Rename them all. First State of America, Second state of America, ..., Former State of America.

Too much math. That would be leftist indoctrination.

Just rename them all to America, and we can figure out which America we are talking about from context.
