Vespuccia

They didn't speak English in Spain back then, but I'm not sure how they would handle the Italian.

My guess would have been either Vesputia or just Vespia.

That latter ones sounds like a cool name for a dystopian retelling/alternate of the history of the New World.

Yeah, Vespia is way more like it.
