I just found out that the city of Luxembourg is in the canton of Luxembourg, which is in the district of Luxembourg which is in the nation of Luxembourg. Either they have a good sense of humour there, or they're obsessed...

Yes. Quite unusual. Maybe they were just lazy?

"Oh screw this thinking lark. Just call it all Luxembourg."

maybe we should call the whole world Luxemburg Imagine what that would do for Luxemburg (world) peace

And no more individual groups just Luxemburgers fighting Luxemburgers….or would this make peace because of how confusing it actually is (God bless Luxemburg:) )

You know, I could understand it if Luxemburg was a good name. But it's not. It's a horrible name. I swear, we'd be better off naming everything after Dane Cook than we would be Luxemburg.
Not bad

Is Luxembourg known for people with very little imagination?

OK. That's not a mistake by the way - just in case you thought I meant to say "Ultraviolet". I didn't.

Luxemburgers

Take one part ground pork, one part ground beef, one part ground chicken, and one part ground duck. Mix well with one part bread crumbs, enough red wine to moisten. Add salt and pepper and a little orageno. Mix well and form into patties. Grill on hickory charcoal until done. Serve on Texas toast. Yum, yum Luxemburgers. :D

Such a small country being a Duchy and all has little land and when modern-day governing requires divisions and capitals, they just named it all Luxembourg...either that or something else.

Bah! Let's just call the capital city, the county which the capital city is in, and every other kind of region which encompasses that capital city the name of the country.
