National?

A quick scan leads me to believe that this paper will be an important contribution in the US.

I was hoping that the data would be aggregated by nation. In this day and age, a title available on the internet or in a major research journal using the word "national" to indicate "stuff about my nation, whichever that may be", is misleading. Is it possible to change the word "National" to "US"?
