I am suspicious. I'd like to see cast iron guarantees that it would in no way **** with my non-resident status before I'd even think about this.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

My wife says Great Britain is Ngoc Anh (might be misspelling that), "the white [person] country." France's adjective, believe it or not, sounds a lot like "fop." And China's adjective, supposedly, is a two-word compound very similar to that used for goods of dubious quality.

We're "beautiful" because they borrowed their word for America from Chinese, and in Chinese they render foreign names using characters that are pronounced the same way, and there was a Chinese dialect where the second syllable in "America" sounds the same as a phoneme meaning "beautiful" so that phoneme was used. Originally they used four characters to render "America" but that got abbreviated to one (the second one).
Incidentally Japanese didn't use the same character for some reason so in Japanese the equivalent word could literally be broken down into "rice country".
