    It’s not ‘United States of North America’, it’s just United States of America. America is actually two continents.

    Not like that makes it any better LOL, just saying…

      We’re also not the only union of states in the Americas either. Mexico and Brazil both have states, too.

          At least as united as the US states… which is not a high bar most days of the week.

        Could I refer to the US, Mexico and Brazil collectively as the not-united-united-states? (As in, they’re each united states, but they’re all not united)

          On second thought, I hereby petition all three countries to unite together to form the United United States of the Americas

          Edit: and just for funsies, because that name is too long, they insist on calling themselves the United Nations. Their citizens call themselves Americans. 🙃

      You’re aware that there are multiple geographic models, right? In some, “America” is a single continent spaning from Alaska to Patagonia. Also, in many “Australia” isn’t a continent - that would be Oceania.
