The British and Americans rebuilt Fort Duquesne and named it Fort Pitt after the British prime minister William Pitt.
The city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was named in honor of William Pitt (the Elder), Earl of Chatham, when it was founded by British general John Forbes in 1758. Pitt was not the actual prime minister when he first led the UK government from 1756 to 1761, but became Lord Privy Seal from 1766 to 1768.--Additionally: Pelham, Massachusetts was founded in 1738 and named for the Pelham family, which included Henry Pelham, who became prime minister in 1743, the year of the town's incorporation. Similarly, the city of Pelham, New Hampshire was incorporated in 1746 and named for Henry's brother Thomas, the Duke of Newcastle, who later served as prime minister (1754-1756).--Four US cities are named Wilmington, at least presumably in honor of Spencer Compton, Duke of Wilmington, the 2nd true Prime Minister of the UK, who served from 1742 to 1743. The cities are in the states of Delaware, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Vermont.
There are no actual countries named after any British Prime Ministers or monarchs. However, there are many states, towns, cities and geological formations such as lakes and rivers, that are named after former British PM's and sovereigns, most of these being in the USA, Canada, and other former colonies in the English-speaking world, although you will find a few in Africa as well. The closest nation you will find named after anything British is British Columbia, but the UK has no part in it's ruling or any political power over it. India and Ireland have made a conscious effort to eradicate British place-names and replace them with indigenous ones.
