January 1st, 2800 marks the day the United States of America — after reclaiming power from the French — disavowed its roots and pledged to march forward, leaving its history and French takeover behind them.
The American president at the time, Corduroy Centauri, stated that the avarice, loneliness, megalomania, corruption, and monumental failures haunting the States would see their absolute ends as the great country liberated itself from self-made shackles under a new name: the United Republic of Leathucaria.
It should be noted that 'Leathucaria' is a meaningless word. Even over a century after it's introduction, it still lacks a proper definition, as its creator has never gifted it one. People are unsure if Centauri simply forgot or if it, too, is a part of Leathucaria's hodge-podge philosophy.
The word has never existed before it left Centauri's mouth — much to the confusion and shock of the audience (but maybe that's due to the previous President being shot dead on stage) — because 'Leathucaria' came to him whilst sleeping on the prior night of New Year's Eve.
Specifically, the President stated, "I dreamed a rosy, sunkissed dream of a grandest future; a complete and utter disassociation from a past built upon cruel, needless suffering in the name of pseudo-godhood for the few! A grandest future crafted from the blood, sweat, and tears of a country whose people joined hand-in-hand and unified beneath the loving banner of starlight and prosperity. Does that not sound like a perfect New Year's dream?"
The name change did not pass without a fight, but was reluctantly accepted into the collective consciousness as time went on, as most things transpire.
Whether or not Centauri's dream came to pass has recently been a heated debate within the modern day, with many speculating the legitimacy of Centauri's alleged dream, wondering if he'd simply lied (and possibly plagiarized) using propaganda techniques from his forefathers. The nonsensical, superficial air surrounding the country has led others to ask if this is truly what it's like to be in a dream; disoriented, nebulous, and trapped in a sort of stasis.
Leathucaria is a proud superpower, constantly boasting its innovations and quality of life, along with how much progress has been made since Europeans first stepped onto its soil. However, the denizens say otherwise; everything happens all at once, but nothing ever changes.
The Republic is certainly a dream, but it's never been the people's.

Leathucarian French
Leathucarian French (otherwise known as Elderberry French or Eagle-Fucker/Kisser French) is a questionable variety of French. It currently stands as the second most prominent variety after standardized Leathucarian English and has wormed its way from its origins of hatred to apathetic day-to-day living.
It's a purposefully chaotic and confusing mess of an isolect erected upon the mountains of spite people — primarily minorities with an emphasis on black people — harbored for France's coup d'etat on the United States (2200s to 2700s).
The story goes that people considered more worthless within the social hierarchy — those stuck in laborious blue-collar jobs with low wages and little upward mobility — developed a code to communicate regarding disrupting France's tyrannical rule while remaining inconspicuous. This was initially done by intentionally breaking the rules of standardized French and mixing it with other languages.
However, in the modern day, this has since blossomed into what the public consciousness would refer to as performative, vapid, or bastardized, depending on who you asked. To French people currently, Leathucarian French just sounds like standardized English with vaguely French flair; watered down French and English beaten together to copulate and present unholy spawn.
This development from what was, traditionally, a legitimate isolect people could communicate with ironically is the fault of anti-black racism plaguing the country.
See, France had sought to turn the States into a 'second, better France' of sorts by seizing all of America's assets; most notably, their plans for what's now the Valse d'Argent. Despite the sheer drop in reputation France took, its propaganda promoting its lifestyle and aesthetics were highly effective among the masses, who believed that France would finally make America a great and free country, once and for all.
What originally aimed to be a variety promising revolution eventually — maybe inevitably — fizzled out and ate itself alive in the name of aesthetic Eurocentrism and the last vestiges of the American dream. C'est la vie.
