All this talk of USians and Ukians and Friaians has got me thinking...
Instead of having country names, why not just assign countries a number based on their population in 1972?
Think of the posibilities! Instead of 'USians' we would have 'three-ians', Brazilians could be 'Fivians' and Russians would be 'Eightians'. Of course, people from Vatican City would be stuck with 'two hundred and twenty nine-ians', but hey, all the IMPORTANT countries would have easy to write numbers ;)
That and it would be relativly east to learn your countries name in other languages. 'A-ma-ri-ka-nu' no more!

This would mean you'd have to learn how to count in all those different languages. Swedes would be called something like "sexor" and, well, that freakin' rocks!
Sexor!

What about countries that didn't exist in 1972? Instead of Croatians, naughtians, or zeroians?

How about South Africa and South Korea? Poland and Tanzania? Belize and Barbados? Would it be a system like: Belizian - Thirty-thousandian, Barbadan -Thirty-thousandian2?
