Let’s dig in to that a little. Names are either arbitrary (Paris Hilton is not a hotel in France), or else they serve as deceptive camouflage (Donald Trump only wants you to think he is the highest suit). For example, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is 75% lies (the word “Korea” is true), and even the United States was named when the states were fractious and barely finagled a compromise.
