Increasingly Grumpy Old Man with a professional history which includes sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. But in the nicest possible way. Various progressive interests.
Citizens of the country could be called Turtles. With all due respect to my many USA friends who are excepted, this seems appropriate for that country's recent history in that it brings to mind immense, cold-blooded creatures, and their frequent description as living fossils! 🙂

Given the proclivity of the USA President for changing geographic names, I suggest that the rest of the world now refer to his country as "Turtle Island". This is the name originally used by the largest indigenous nation, the Navajo, for their homeland.
