SeaRex is only criticising the word ‘Americo’ (just as I only criticised the visual design of Stranger’s Wrath characters, and still got accused of hating the game), but as I’ve already stressed we don’t know if it’s the actual name for America in the film, or just a pun Lorne used to drive the point home.

:
They're just taking "America" and replacing the "ca" with an abbreviation for "company." That's hyper-lame.
Thanks for identifying the etymology for us, but it’s really not that different from Paramite or Scrab or Meetle, and it’s more inventive than Greeter, Snoozer, Intern or Outlaw.

Even assuming the word so much as features in the film, it’s going to be a word that’s been coined by a human within the CS universe (and markedly so, since it takes place in the near future), in which case it could be a ‘rebel’ similarly driving the point home, or a ‘corporatist’ rebranding that the ‘rebels’ are as unimpressed with as you are.
