American Ocean West, American Ocean East.... 
I'm surprised the lump of land in the middle hasn't been renamed simply 'America' but I guess that won't happen as Amerigo Vespucci was an illegal boat person.
It's a bit odd to name something after someone's first name, the surname would be more usual, so it should have been Vespuccia. He also had other names so it could equally have been Alberta.

There's an episode of "The Sweeney" in which the main criminal character flies to France in a light aircraft. We know it's France because as the plane taxis by, there's a man on a bike wearing a stripy shirt carrying a string of onions

Pfft, we should just give it a name that reflects its role : the "Garlic, string of onions and stripy shirt moat".

Hopefully that’s the sort of crude stereotype we’ve moved away from nowadays: the guy on the bike, was he surrendering?
No, he was running away - that's the trouble with those foreigners you see, they've got no backbone 
I love those old programmes!
I must get out more!
