In honor of the guy who actually discovered America, it should be renamed the Columbias. The United States of Columbia, North Columbia, South Columbia, etc. Do you agree?

I believe some other peoples may have just already been in America when Columbus arrived... let me just look up my books on native American society here... hmmm...

Lol. Actually the Vikings and bands of Chinese traders had reached the Americas before Columbus, not to mention the Serbian tribes which would migrate back and forth across the Bering Straight and over the arctic circle.
Maybe Swag didn't realize this though, but a lot of places are already named after Columbus, such as British Colombia. Not that I am a fan of honoring Columbus. From what I hear he was some sort of glorified douchebag. Didn't he only land in the West Indies anyways?
If anything we should change North America to North Cartieras

Lol. Siberian tribes Stag. This time I'm certain you meant Siberian tribes, not Serbian tribes.

Yeah, I already knew about the Vikings. To be fair, they landed in Greenland, which isn't really America.
Dassault Papillon:
The Vikings colonized Greenland extensively, but L'anxe Meadows was a viking settlement discovered in Newfoundland, Canada. They also eventually discovered a couple hovels with Scandinavian tools in northern Labrador. There are even a couple maps from Scandinavia which detail the upper Atlantic and Newfoundland
BTW, Greenland is 100% considered America in my book.
