renaming countries

While backing up my laptop for a reformat I found a Notepad document with the results of a thread I made on some other forum years ago. The question was what funny names people could come up with for renaming countries.

So now as an attempt to add to this list, and for a bit of fun and humor, what punny names can people come up with for countries?
