      Like “Saint Vincent and the Grenadines”? When I first heard this term as a kid, I thought it was referring to a 50s or 60s music band.

          No, you implied a reaction like the one in the post isn’t weird since countries don’t often have similar names. I counter the reaction is weird because Bosnia and Herzegowina isn’t an obscure or never heard of country but the reaction is quite stereotypical US-american (as in “conforms to stereotypes”, not in "look, typical US-american).

        Unfortunately we US Americans are not particularly strong on the subject of geography. We’ve all heard of Bosnia, but its last name was never mentioned when it was in the news. Most here have never heard of any of the islands you listed except for maybe Trinidad.

      Don’t take this the wrong way, I think it’s great that you’re willing to learn.

      I’m just kind of at a loss for words that so many people have apparently never heard of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    If other countries wanted a better chance against the US they wouldn’t allow us to compete as one and would make us compete as states.

    In which case FL and CA would take over everything.

      As a Czech, you already know that but the brief democratic Czecho—Slovak Federation (1989-1992) also had a “Hyphen war” (actually just an argument) where Slovakia was not content with the longest hyphen available and wanted an “and” in the middle, breaking grammatical rules. Greater disagreements later resulted in the countries’ peaceful dissolution on New Year’s Eve 1992.
