There has been a myth that Japan renamed a town "Usa" following World War II so that goods exported from Japan could read "Made in USA." The claim is false: [1] (http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp)
- The town had this name long before the war.
- Regulations in most countries require imports to be marked with the country, rather than the city, of origin.
