If only Borealis and Vesperia were horses.
Vesperia has an interesting sound to it. I would favor New Albion or Laurentia.
let's say europe doesn't get there (land of rice and salt, technological stupidy, whay have you).
The chinese, mongols and turkic people would call it Black [something], as they color-coded cardinal directions and black corresponded to north (black sea = north sea to the turks who settled in anatolia). that is if they get to california first and move up. If they follow bering and reach via the north it would be Blue [something] for turkic, Green [something] for the chinese.
so you get Greenland, the chinese colony in Alaska.

voted for borealia. easy to pronounce in both languages (though it would probably be Boréalie in french), no ethnic connotation (like new albion or anglia) and not a name already taken someplace (like hochelaga).
Also, "Mesopelagia" sounds like an archeological term.

The United Provinces of North America, which contrasts nicely with the United Provinces of South America, but may be confused with the United States of America, which was once known as the United States of North America, and also confusingly briefly was called the United Provinces of North America, just after they were the United Colonies of North America.
But yeah no wonder they shorthanded it into 'Tupona' (The United Provinces Of North America).

It's between Albion, Laurentia and Borealia (Vesperia has a nice ring to it as well). I'll go with...
