    This is great. Maybe officials from all over will rename places had make google add all the different names as per their policy. Imagine taking an interstate road trip and having place names keep changing on google maps as you cross state lines.

      I can’t wait to hear UK announce some changes to their official maps.

      Does New England sound better than Virginia? How about New Albion?

      If Canada renames Lake Michigan/Illinois to Lake Ontario 2: Electric Boogaloo, would Google label it as Lake Michigan (Lake Illinois (Lake Ontario 2: Electric Boogaloo))? What if Québec wants to spread some French to it too?

      Edit: updated Lake Manitoba to Lake Ontario 2 because it’s funnier
