I would like to renew my periodic proposal to replace all names with UUIDs. For example, the York in England could be renamed to E4D24E55-D779-402A-90D4-9EBE41FB2AA4. England itself could become 62F2B833-2462-4F64-A071-2887FF46105A. The "New" York in the colonies could be renamed to D6EE5383-2D68-4CC2-BCED-CDBB2B7661E0. This would eliminate all confusion.

We'll have to think up a new tune for Kandler and Ebb's classic D6EE5383-2D68-4CC2-BCED-CDBB2B7661E0, D6EE5383-2D68-4CC2-BCED-CDBB2B7661E0
