"United states of [continent]" is NOT a valid name for this country. "America" is also invalid, since America is a continent.

Compare this to Germany:
By this logic, my country's name would be "United states of west/central Europe", since we also consist of several states, like this unnamed country here does. But we still have our own name. So why does this poor country here not have its own name?
>>
perfectly valid, it means that they are united states in a certain continent, enough shitposting hans.

In the English language, it's refereed to as "The Americas", or North/South America.

The rule is different in Spanish. Both are right, in their respective languages and cultural customs

It wasn't called Dixieland, that was a nickname for the Confederate States of America
If you want good names, go to a state level, as states are more like federated European countries

why?

>>57380622
There's a reason it's called the United STATES.
it's just that the right of the states to pre-empt federal law and power have been chipped away over 200 years until they were a shadow of their former selves

So what is Bavaria then? I'm pretty sure that even you, as an united statian, know that it's a german federal state...
>>
>>57380752
well if you buy into the idea that the EU is analogous to the early US government, then Bavaria would be a large state district
>>
>>57380813
And what about large state districts inside Bavaria?
I think you don't get it...

But Germany is a region that includes other German-speaking countries, not just the lands of the Federal Republicans. Why do you think people talked about "the Germanies" for so long? "Germany" is obviously an invalid name for one country.

I think you're getting bogged down on autistic details, rather than seeing the inevitable end result of large scale federalism over independent states
>>
>>57381009
since when is logic called an autistic detail?
>>
>>57381308
If it were logical, you'd be able to understand that districting within a state doesn't matter.
It's not like the US government collapsed when unincorporated townships became a thing, as they were in the state's purview
