Now I look at Google Maps and see the nonsensical "Gulf of America" between parenthesis.
I live nowhere close to the US.
There is nothing reasonable in unilaterally pushing a new name onto the world just because a banana republic dictator felt like renaming it.

Renaming a geographic landmark as "X of America" is dick measuring. Asking Google to be a grown-up and fix their mistake is not unreasonable, neither is suing them if they refuse.
