	Log in to remove this sponsored message SAUCE quote article Mexican President Felipe Calderon has sent a bill to congress to change the official name of the country. The current name, the United States of Mexico, was adopted in 1824 and was intended to emulate its northern neighbour. President Calderon wants to change it to just Mexico, as the country is known the world over. Mr Calderon, who leaves office on 1 December, said Mexico no longer needed to copy any foreign power. "The name of our country no longer needs to emulate that of other nations," Mr Calderon told a news conference. "Forgive me for the expression, but Mexico's name is Mexico." The name United States of Mexico (Estados Unidos Mexicanos) was brought in after independence from Spain. Hardly the big name change that some of you were most likely thinking, but if you had the opportunity to change the name of your country to anything you wanted to, what would you settle on? Me? I'd probably change it to something like "That place that isn't quite Europe and is too far away to be America, but sits at the side of Europe in the Atlantic and enjoys its own distinct identity"

	I had no idea that Mexico's full name is the united states of Mexico. So it's technically the USM below the USA, which are both in A? Seems like an alright change, don't see why not. -------------------

	I guess I should stop calling the USM the USM and start calling it Mexico. Its going to be tough, really but we must learn to adapt. -------------------
