p.s. America is Meiguo aka "Pretty Land".
p.s. "Meiguo" (美国) actually translates to "beautiful country".

Actually the whole name is not "pretty country". it's America, The "Me" sound translated to that character. It's a short name for something that would have required 4 Chinese characters to translate.
