'MARSHALL, TX—After receiving a new leather NIV Study Bible for Christmas, local man Christopher Neil was excited to crack it open Tuesday morning and check out all the helpful resources included to assist him in his Bible study. But Neil was perplexed to discover the Bible didn’t mention America a single time. The atlas section at the back of the Sciptures (Scriptures, my add) did not include a map of the United States. The man carefully looked through all sixteen printed maps, including depictions of Israel in various time periods, the entire ancient Near East, and the Mediterranean Sea, but couldn’t find a single map of the United States'

'...and the translators failed to replace the word “Israel” with “United States” or “America” throughout the biblical text.'
Related event from my childhood:
Amway convention:
Back in the early 1980's my parents and associated Canadians had grown their businesses large enough to have an event here in British Columbia. Oh Canada was sung at the beginning of the event. A very kind and sweet American woman and one of the leaders of the American group that had developed the Canadian group, attended and stated (paraphrased):
'And they didn't even sing God Bless America!'
(I would have no problem if they did, as Amway is an American corporation and there were/are many American business associates within, but they sang the national anthem of the country of the event.)
