Wtf is a Herzegovina & why should I care?
Why is it not just Bosnia?
Is Herzegovina so special is deserves to be in the title of the country? Then why isn't it first? Does Bosnia not sufficiently describe Herzegovina?
Why would a country have an AND in the title. If there are two distinct entities important enough to be included in the title of a country and distinct enough to have different names....
Then how are these two distinct entities so similar that one single country can contain them?
Is there not a word to describe "Bosnia and Herzegovina" the country that could be one thing and not include an AND?
Bosnia and Herzegovina is 9 syllables. That is too many syllables for a country name. Who do you think you are? I need less syllables. You are now just Bosnia and it is your fault.
United States of America is also 9 syllables. No one calls it the full name. America. 4. The States. 2. The US. 3.
But each of those shortened names still describe the entire country. They don't flippantly cross out HALF of the country (in the sense of the name containing 2 distinct entities) like BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.
The Bosnians really played you guys, Herzegovinians.
