The United Colonies of America: Term used by some Founding Fathers in the Second Continental Congress. I used the Grand Union flag which was in use at the time.

The United States of Vinland: Vinland was the name given to the area in North America discovered by vikings, but the name didn't stick. I used the Raven banner which was used by some vikings at the time for the corner piece.

The United States of Columbia: Columbia was a name given to the New World and has been a loose synonym for America in American history (Hail, Columbia was considered to be the unofficial national anthem before the Star Spangled Banner became the official one). The canton is based on descriptions of Columbus's flag with a U and S and laurel wreaths instead of Spanish crowns.

The United States of Liberia: Liberia was an African nation for freed slaves in 1822. Because it was modeled to resemble the U.S. (such as an issuance of their own Declaration of Independence and Constitution), I thought that it seemed to be worth noting.

The United States of Washingtonia: Since our Capitol City and a U.S. state was named after Washington, it didn't seem impossible that our country may have been named after him in an alternate universe. The Canton uses a modified portrait from the Washington State flag.

The United States of Freeonia: "Freedonian" was an alternate name for Americans proposed by Samuel Mitchill in 1803, as American was being used as a pejorative by the English at the time. I chose an eagle in flight to represent freedom.

The United States of Appalachia: Appalachia was a named proposed by Washington Irving as a replacement to America because it excludes Canada and Latin America. Edgar Allen Poe would later concur with this idea. I used the Appalachian scenic trail symbol in the canton from the Appalachia Mountain Region that the name is derived from.

The United States of North America: Used as the name for the country on a map created by David Burr in 1839. The flag uses the 26-star design in use at the time of the map's creation.

The United States of Usonia: Usonia was a term coined in 1865, but later used heavily by architect Frank Loyd Wright instead of America. I used the symbol at the bottom right of his paper on his foundation's website for the canton.

The United States of Hesperia: Hesperia is a Greek term that refers to western lands, used to poetically describe different areas by the Greeks and Romans. Since the U.S. is in the west, it seemed like it could be apt. The Hesperia can also refer to the sun setting in the West, so I chose a sun setting in the West where the U.S. lies.

The Free and Independent States of America: I tried to brainstorm some alternatives to "United", and Thomas Paines's Common Sense offered "Free and Independent" as an alternative in the closing line of his influential pamphlet. Because Paine states that "in no instance hath nature made the satellite larger than its primary planet" as a justification for America breaking free from the control of the smaller Great Britain, I used the stars to illustrate being under the control of their own body.

The United States of Mesopelogia: Mesopelogia is a Latin term that means "between the seas" and was considered as a name for Canada. Because it also applies to the U.S., I included it. The red stripe represents the parting of Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.

The United States of Atlantia: Atlantis was a legendary land described by Plato as being West of the mythological Pillars of Hercules. Assuming this could refer to North America (it almost certainly doesn't, but its a fun thought), the stars are presented behind the pillars as viewed from the East.

Tusona: Tupona was considered as a name for Canada because of the acronym "The United Provinces of North America", so I used the same method with "States" instead of "Provinces". The flag uses the New England Pine in the style of the Canadian Flag.

New England: New England was a name given to several of the original colonies, so it's not impossible to think that the name could've stuck post independence. The canton uses the pine tree featured in several New England flags.

The Republic of America: From the title of History of the United States, Or Republic of America by Emma Willard, published 1852. The graphic uses the 31-star flag in use at the time.

The Confederated States of America: Taken from the term used for the Articles of Confederation. Maybe we could have been the "Confederated States" instead of the "United States". Uses the design from the Gadsen Flag, and text inspired by Benjamin Franklin's "Join, or Die" political cartoon.

The United States of Turtlania: Turtle Island is a name given to North America in some American India cultures surrounding creation myths in which the continent or sometimes the world rests on the back of a turtle. This is depicted here.
