    Sodom. From the story of Sodom & Gommorah, but I would choose the name based on a passage from Ezekiel.

    “This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.”

      I grew up being taught that America was literally the “Whore of Babylon” from the Book of Revelation.

      And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. - Revelation 17:5

      It was specifically said to be a prophecy about the United States and once you understood that, the rest of the story just clicked into place! I want to vomit just thinking back to that bullshit.
