Tussenland is the English form of the country's name in [[Amerikaens]]: ''Tussenlandt'', derived from ''tussenin'' (in between) and ''landt'' (country). This refers to how Tussenland's initial geographic position in the 18th century was exclusively between the Appalachian and Rocky mountain ranges. Although its territory has expanded since, the country's original name has been preserved. |
