June 23, 2025Jun 23 Just watched last night's meeting. Iran's desk said IRAN (Islamic Republic of). Why did USA's not say AMERICA (United States of) ?

Other countries like Iran and others have their adjectives in brackets that refer not geographically, but politically. UK would be tricky.

June 23, 2025Jun 23 Author So why not put Islamic Republic of IRAN, like United (Look at the) State of AMERICA? 555 But I knew we'd get some clever correct answers. Thanks. I suppose we could have GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND (The United Kingdom of), or BAHAMAS (The) etc etc
