I'm afraid you're severely out of touch with reality.

There's no use arguing about it when the facts are staring both of us in the face:

Simply try to buy an official name for pennies and see how far you get. You could try one of mine, such as RepublicOfBotswana.com, RepublicOfSierraLeone.com, or CommonwealthOfTheBahamas.com... or why not one that I don't own, such as RepublicOfZimbabwe.com or RepublicOfZambia.com? Heck, try RepubliqueCentrafricaine.com, which is a country you might not have even heard of. See how far you get with your $20 offer, then come back and let me know how it went.

There are only a couple of hundred names in this category in the entire world, and they are intricately linked with national pride.

You wrote, "The people that I know go only to Portugal." I don't know what circles you mingle with, but my friends know of national sovereignty -- they've even taken a gander at the front of their passport. You know, that weird title in huge letters on the front of that peculiar document -- the one that reflects the name of your country.

It's no surprise that the two largest sales I have ever had were both official country names. I guess that cash speaks a little bit louder than your trash talk.

Let me guess what's lurking behind your disdain for these names... could it be... that you don't have any? Because you either didn't have the idea, or just showed up way too late?
