Shit,

Don't know if this counts.
It was located within your country, retard.
When we colonise another planet eventually it's going to be called New Earth and it will have a New New London, New New York, New New Zealand, etc.
There are a few states with a New London. New Netherlands was basically a colony in the non-rhotic states, founded and probably sold by the Dutch West India Company.
>aussie colonise other planets
Your country probably just banter around the aliens then war happened because they can't handle the bantz.
"We" as in humanity.
>It was located within your country, retard.
My country is massive you fucking retarded shit.
My state alone has more colonial history than any other.
Curriculum has to scarcely go over the major events, it barely has enough time to cover even the most important events which are the British colonies.
>England
land where anglo live
>Deutschland
land where deutsch live
Aboriginal American place names are even worse when you bother looking them up.
>Canada - village
>Quebec - the place where the river narrows
>Ottawa - traders
>Ontario - great lake
etc.
Of course this isn't the injuns' fault, but rather that of the colonists who just took the first fucking word they heard, completely butchered it, and then decided that it might as well serve as a name for whatever place they were at.
I prefer other countries individually colonise other planets though.

...oh wait
Corporations will be the ones colonizing, governments are too slow and unwieldy nowadays.
Why did they name them after Italians?
And the zaibatsu become the dominant species. Maybe Gibson was on to something.
holy shit am i retarded, i just realized that they made the name like the UK but replaced kingdoms with states.
Our naming sense is kinda retarded too. Irian (now Papua) is abbreviation of 'Ikut Republik Indonesia, Anti Nedherland' (Join Republic of Indonesia, (also) anti-Nethelands).
Guinea is probably bastardized from Genewah or similar, meaning "black". Sudan also basically means black.
In short: Italians are black.

September
>late Old English, from Latin September (also source of Old French Septembre, Spanish Setiembre, Italian Settembre, German September), from septem "seven" (see seven). So called because it was the seventh month of the old Roman calendar, which began the year in March; Julian calendar reform (46 B.C.E.) shifted the new year back two months. Replaced Old English hærfestmonað, haligmonað.
October
>c. 1050, from Latin October (mensis), from octo "eight," from PIE root *octo(u)- "eight" (see eight). Eighth month of the old Roman calendar (pre-46 B.C.E.), which began the year in March. Replaced Old English winterfylleð
November
>c. 1200, from Old French novembre and directly from Latin November (also Novembris (mensis)), from novem "nine". The ninth month of the Roman calendar, which began in March. In Old English, it was Blotmonað "month of sacrifice," literally "blood-month," the time when the early Saxons prepared for winter by sacrificing animals, which they then butchered and stored for food.
December
>c. 1000, from Old French decembre, from Latin December, from decem "ten" (from PIE root *dekm- "ten"); tenth month of the old Roman calendar, which began with March.
>The -ber in four Latin month names is probably from -bris, an adjectival suffix. Tucker thinks that the first five months were named for their positions in the agricultural cycle, and "after the gathering in of the crops, the months were merely numbered."

With the exception of New york, the rest are relatively unknown.
Western cities are mostly named after people who actually did things. People, institutions (like the house of york), and mythology.
I'm not saying they are particularly original, but much better than "northern capital."
Talk about originality.
If we get to that point,
Planets would be colonized by countries first, followed by private ventures who would have to followed whatever laws their countries set upon them.
Corporations wouldn't do whatever they wanted. This was the case during the age of colonialism and I don't think it would change too much, except for a little more organization.
Private ventures would still followed the law, and would still be part of a "countries" effort to colonize.
If a colony was set up by an american company, then it would be an american colony, subject to american law. It's not like the corporation would be allowed to rule the people.
>americans dont know american history
>naming the months after some voice in your head
I would not describe trying to see what isn't there as "creativity".
I for one welcome the people of New New New New Old New Earth New York and they will be welcome to come and live with me in Nu-New Old New New Neo Tokyo.
