The republic formerly known as
Yugoslavia had the Yugo.

The republic formerly (in the future) known as the USA
had the Amerigo after the USA's government nationalized
the car industry to avoid massive unemployment. They never
used tariffs to make local cars more favorable. Instead,
they occupied the industry (see: Iraq) and made the Amerigo,
which survived (until the Collapse) because it was subsidized by
the US military industrial complex.

Have a nice day.
