There is (or should that be are?) the Estados Unidos Mexicanos (United States of Mexico) so that 'A' is very necessary to avoid confusion [Linked Image] .

Is there any other nation that can send more than one team to The World Cup? [Linked Image] - and we all know which one I mean by this! [Linked Image]
