mysql error (dash in table name)?

How can I correct this error apart from eliminating the dash in
United-Kingdom?

Couldn't execute query 'SELECT * FROM United-Kingdom ORDER BY level
DESC': You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near '-Kingdom ORDER BY level DESC' at line 1

Put back-ticks around the table name. Personally though, I'd remove
the dash and save the hassle of remembering the back-ticks.
