Considering the foreign policy contributions of that administration - I’ll counter-propose Reaganistan.
Or, Baja Oregon…if we want to avoid politics.
Been here for 8 years and people back home still ask if I need a passport, then comes having to explain the difference between a country and a state. :smack::smack::smack: Idiots.
Play on the Land of Enchantment, since there is a roadblock for something every 4 feet…
Land of Entrapment, come on vacation, leave on probation.
I figure we suck so much Texas or even Mexico didn’t want us. I think we got the last laugh, Texas got stuck with El Paso, and Mexico got Juarez.
We got Hatch and a giant pile of Green Chile (Chile, with an E since the state legislature determined that anyone spelling chile with an I at the end will be deported to Texas).
I like the name New Mexico, its kind of on the Fringe, not that different than New England, but a little more Wild Westy (<— thats not a real word).
In honor of New Mexico I think we should rename Montana to New Canada, confuse everybody…
As opposed to making it Free Mexico, remove all reference to other countries as joked about WRT France:

We name cities after states occasionally, and vice versa, so why not Santa Fe State? It would lend itself to endless New York-style confusion (“Oh, you live in New York? Manhattan?” “No, New York the state - I live in Buffalo”) and keep the innate Mexicanity of the current name.
Out of respect for California’s Latino community, let’s make it ¿California?.

How come people from New England don’t get asked for passports?
Let’s name it East Arizona.
When my aunts moved there a couple of years ago they constantly had people asking them why they moved out of the country.
I just realized, however, that I don’t really know how to spell that city.
Albaquirke.
Albaquirky.
Ah. Albuquerque. I thought we had difficult names in the northeast (Schenectady, Chautauqua, Cattaraugaus).
People dumb enough to think “New England” is a different country don’t know that Massachusetts, Connecticut, etc. are New England.

Ooh. Good idea. But we should do that to North Dakota instead. Then people will be confused as to why there is a South Dakota with no North Dakota.
Taking a cue from many neighborhoods in the LA area, I propose either of the following:

[li]Mexico Hills[/li][li]Mexico Estates[/li][/ul]
New Jersey — or is that one taken?
or
Tucumcari — one of my favorite towns in New Mexico and it sounds like a state should sound.
or
Shiprock — another of my favorite towns in New Mexico and it’s kind of picturesque somehow.
Bubba, you mean wildwestish ? (4010 results in Google)
No. Montana can become South Alberta. We’ll keep South Dakota, and rename North Dakota to be South Saskatchewan. That way, the large amounts of “South” in the area will make everyone feel warmer in the winter.
