Talk:Usonia

Law's etymology is just a post hoc rationalization/folk etymology. The -ia is simply the suffix normally found in the names of countries named after something. No-one (such as Harvard or Wright) have repeated Law in saying that the i stands for "independent", let alone the fact that the reading of "North Independent America" is forced. Law evidently found it a nice coincidence, but I think its inclusion in the citation is coverage enough. Kwamikagami 11:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
