Depends on your outlook. Tassie is a part of Oz, so you live in the CAN zone! (=

I'll allow the inclusion of Finland and the exclusion of my native Denmark this one time because that's EXCELLENT 😄

Sure, if you're picking and choosing. United States of America is the formal name, while the other 2 are informal. Canada is Dominion of Canada and Mexico is United Mexican States. So it should be either CAM or DUU if you're being consistent.

If you're being pedantic, at least be correct. Canada hasn't formally or informally been called the Dominion of Canada in any internal context since 1951.

1867 British North America Act (aka Constitution Act): "one Dominion under the name of Canada". It was a last minute change from "Kingdom" to "Dominion" to avoid a hypothetical diplomatic incident with the US. It was never the official name, only a title. Official documents were allowed to use either, for a period, but it was never the formal name.

The last vestiges were the renaming of "Dominion Day" to "Canada Day" in 1982. Any use of the name "Dominion of Canada" is now either archaic, ironic, or a hypercorrection.

I meant, they’re not the conventional short names, which are the ones used in pretty much every context. And the conventional short name for the USA is “United States”, not “America”.
