    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
