I’m also slightly bothered that the Niger River only goes through a tiny sliver of Niger.

I kind of feel like they shouldn’t claim the name. Maybe trade names with Nigeria. It will probably be some pretty easy paperwork alterations. You just take away their A.

  It’s not quite the same. But I love near a university called University of South <State Name>, yet it is absolutely nowhere even remotely near the southern part of the state.

    It’s probably south of something though, unless you’re at the north pole

    How funny. I graduated with a BA in Elf Studies from the University of Northern North Pole!
