Full utilitarianism. Pacific Ocean is now "Ocean 1". Atlantic is "Ocean 2". So on, and so forth.
And we're serializing the countries while we're at it (random number assignment, no major economy gets to have #1 for ego reasons). I can already see the signs: "Country 4 is #1!".
Every flag is a solid pantone color. Every anthem is a localization of Riding Nerdy by Weird Al.
Actually, let's order the countries based on their citizen happiness ranking. If being #1 is a point of ego, let's make that the metric they're all striving to be on top of.
Landia and oceania imply there are multiple imo. I'd say long landia and wide langdia are separated by the big oceania, where as little landia and micro landia are separated by the small oceania.
If you want to make Trump apocalyptically angry, start naming stuff after Obama. I truly believe if California renamed itself Obamafornia he would declare all-out war against them.
Ok, so soon, when the president declares to own the straits of hormuz, we rename it the Epstein Honeypots Strait, or something. Still workshopping the name.

Don't use numbers as they indicate a priority.
Use random 32 bit base64 strings instead. You can technically order them but not in a useful sense.

Fine, every country gets a UUID and is a file in /var

United States at #1, president says ignore the men holding guns, they are NOT coercing people into saying they're happy, healthy, and alive.

I was very against what you said.
But then you brought up Weird Al, so now I'm on board.

All the continents should be renamed, "Landia" and the oceans should just be rolled into, "Oceania".
Why makes things complicated?

Why not Earthocean or Earthsea, as the ocean is touched mostly by the earth below it instead of the shores of the continents?

Isn't Earthsea a book?

The rest of the world should just rename America, itself.

It touches the US so you call it American sea. This follows the same rule as bacterial contamination.

I would rename the dead sea to death sea and the red sea to blood sea. The mediterranian sea shall be named realm of souls.
