Do cities count? Because there is Albany, New York Dude I already did that one... oh well. Dayton, Ohio. Cute little city of over 100,000 population. Far as I know, it's the largest city named Dayton in America (for foreigners, it is possible to have two cities with the same name long as they are in different states like Dayton, TN, etc). All Daytons othet than the one in Ohio are way smaller, like to the point where Dayton, TN has maybe 3,000 people. You American's confuse me. You have a number of cities with the same name and like to steal other countries cities names (I know, I know it's probably because of colonization but still...)  Liberia. Afican nation. It is one of two countries to have its capital (Monrovia) city named after a US president. |

It is one of two countries to have its capital (Monrovia) city named after a US president. You got that part right. It's definitely partially from the colonialism, but it's also from the early immigration feeling better if they had a city with the same name from "back home". So with both of those effects, you get a huge mix of city names. As for why we do have multiple cities with the same name in America is the fact that we are the United STATES of America. A state has partial sovereign rights reserved for their discretion. So cities cannot cross state jurisdiction borders (metro area may, but that's different). Chicago is in Illinois, it cannot cross over to Indiana, but Hammond is a part of Chicago metro area. It's sorta of like Hammond is the Chicago of Indiana but functions seperately as a city, mayor, budget, departments, etc... Cincinnati, Ohio cannot cross over to Kentucky, so there's a Covington, Kentucky that is sorta like the Cincinnati of Kentucky. In short, a state here has more power than a province in your country, but doesn't have the same autonomy as a state in confederation like EU. Province (AUS) < State (USA) < Confederation < Union of Semi-Confederacy (EU) < Full Sovereign Nation-State
Anyway back to the game... (Mount) Nebo, a mountain in the Israel area, known as the last location of Moses. |
