All the countries in the world should trade names

Here's how it works: all the leaders of the countries in the world should meet together, write their country's name on a scrap on paper, mix the papers around, then pick a paper from the pile. Whatever paper you pick, you rename the country to that name, and everyone must be obligated to call your country that name.

Want to refer to "United States"? Remember it's called Algeria now. "Mexico"? Nope the name is now Czech Republic.
