Id call my country Draconia. Then I could pass Draconian laws.
Good one...
Mine would have to be Freedonia
I talked once about declaring our own country with a friend of mine. We were going to call it "Yer Maw".
There would be one valley, named "Yer Maw's Canyon", and a mountain named "Mount Yer Maw".. Wouldn't be hard to find a suitable location here in Scotland..
Hilarity would obviously ensue when you see the BBC News talking about "troops invading Yer Maw's Canyon".
And yes, we were a little drunk.
If you don't get it (and not many non-Scots do), google "yer maw". And I hope you're not offended ;)

Imagine that conversation:
Guy #1: So, where are you from?
Guy #2: Yer Maw.
Guy #1: Don't you be talkin' 'bout my ma' like dat!
Talk about a misunderstanding.
Well, I'd name it The United States of America, and itd be the best nation that ever existed in the history of the world.

presumably so it could be distinguished from the current USA?

Hey! Don't be knocking that there true American ingenuity, y'all!
I'm naming my country KeeutFluphyBunneeze. I dare anyone to stand up in press conference telling the world they were going to bomb KeeutFluphyBunneeze
You can just picture the assembled world media going "awww, you can't bomb the poor cuuute leetle fluffie bunnies..."
As for Government, I'd setup a two-branch system where the politicial wing is democratically elected and controls law and foreign policy; while the economic wing is composed of a hired management team with set medium and long term objectives. If they meet/exceed their goals, they get bonuses, if they miss them they're fired. (Hah! I bet you weren't expecting KeeutFluphyBunneeze to have a serious government, were you?)

I would call it Fakropia, a small country with Bangkok as its "largest" city and capital , Phuket as its "casual" bachelors travel destination, New Deli "serving" as its food capital and finally "install" a military base in the City of Condom to "stop illegal immigration" coming from Seymen!
I would probably visit such a country. Maybe I'd hang out on Lesbos Island and photograph the wonderful locals as they carry on their bizness.

Ah.. you'd have to put a Cork in it!
