The one and only United States of America

My wisdom:

  • "The United States of America" is not a name but a description
    • It's a bad description since there's multiple unions of states in america

It's funny because our neighbor is also literally called United States, Estados Unidos Mexicanos.

Yup that's why I made this post :D

And then USA is still a thousand times better then US

Hate hate hate that there’s no one cute unambiguous unabbreviated name for the United States of America:

  • United States: welcome to the large club of other United States
  • America: just like the rest of the Western Hemisphere
  • oh btw United and States or literally mutually exclusive adjectives: United means together; States means not together

No other country has "America" in the name, so "America" works. What other country could it possibly be?

United means together; States means not together

Hence "E pluribus unum."

Honestly? If we allow any other territory or country into the union, I personally feel we should rename to The United States of Humanity. The end goal of the US is a Diplomatic victory, since we already have claimed Economic Victory.

It's more likely to be called the United Christian Kingdom, which will be shortened unironically to the UK by the idiots that live here
