Since UEI got skipped: Umeki (as in actress Miyoshi )
Although I believe Chefguy is referring to Soweto (an acronym for SOuth-WEst TOwnships), it turns out there is a village of Suweto in Kalimantan, the Indonesian portion of Borneo. Also, the Afrikaans word for “south” is suid , so references to the sprawling community outside Johannesburg as “Suweto” may not necessarily be erroneous.
At any rate, UEU is (barring any simulposts) next.

UEU: Suwetu?
How about UEU: Rue d’ Ulm (school in Paris)
Is it now UIA?
Good answer, Chefguy ! I had just thought of Blue Nun wine, only to hit “Reply” and see you had successfully taken up the UEU challenge.
UIA – the much more obvious PRUSSIA (Russia suddenly seemed too basic a response)
UIE?

Let’s go out with some Star Trek: Uhuru
Still need a UUU, your entry of Uhuru is incorrect, as the Star Trek character’s name is Uhura. Can I request another look see at Bologna [OOA] , since it is also a common noun? Thanks.
