And America is brilliant? England makes more sense than America. At least it has 'land' in there.

America is the name of the continent, it was named after Amerigo Vespucci, the first guy who realized it was actually a whole new continent, instead of India.

also:"England is named after the Angles, one of a number of Germanic tribes believed to have originated in Angeln in northern Germany, who settled in England in the 5th and 6th centuries. This is also the origin of its Latin name, Anglia" - source wikipedia

so essentially english people are actually germans....

Croatia couldn't fight England if they wanted to! They've only been their own country since '91, and they have the UN to thank for that.
