I figured out what we should call pic related: the United Colonies.
Pros:
We will no longer confuse United States for the United Mexican States
United states has always been a bad name because it is too general whereas the United Colonies is slightly better because while a lot of 'states' have state as a part of their names no states (to my knowledge) have 'colonies' in their name.

America is a continent. Therefore, calling someone american implies that this person is coming from america.
Calling someone United statian on the other hand implies that the person is coming from the US of A. It's as simple as that...

It was originally called "the United States of North America", which is a lot more specific and sounds much better imo.

>>60574231
The states were still mostly autonomous when the US was founded, so the idea of a unifying national demonym wasn't considered to be that important. Imagine if people insisted on calling things from the EU "EuropaUnionian" instead of "European".

Well, it sounds stupid calling you United statian, because your """country""" doesn't have a name. It is nameless....

Calling a country "United States of [continent]" is not valid, it is not a proper name for a country. It's a valid name for a collection of countries, but not for a single one.

Compare this with Germany: we are not called "United States of central europe". We have our own name, Deutschland. That's why calling someone Deutschländer doesn't sound silly.

>>60574732
>please stop denying this

The most commonly accepted theory is that there is seven continents. North America and South America are the only "Americas" around here.
>>
>>60574881
It's not a theory you stupid fuck. We know where the goddamn plates are.
>>
>>60574732
>Calling a country "United States of [continent]" is not valid, it is not a proper name for a country. It's a valid name for a collection of countries, but not for a single one.

Exactly. When the US was first founded, it was not a single country. It was a confederation of states that believed themselves to be independent. At the beginning, the concept was fairly similar to the European Union.
>>
>>60574918
The Plates do not align properly with the "Seven continents".. If we dedicated a plate for each continent, we'd have a bit of a mix up wouldnt we. The "North American Plate" features parts of Russia.
>>
>>60574971
It's still not a "theory"
>>
>>60574732
>The EU is not a country...

And neither was the US when it was first founded. It was a loose confederation. Individual states had their own laws, their own taxes, their own armed forces, even their own currency. In many ways, the modern European Union is more of a country than the United States was from 1776-1788.
>>
>>60575011
Not a theory in a practical sense but its mostly a geopolitical thing to have seven continents.

By culture, you have "many"
By plates , you have a cluster fuck that is not helpful politically speaking.
>>
>>60575011
Europe isn't even a continent if you use tectonic plates.
>>
>>60574918
The african plate goes up north up until the alps... That's why the alps exist, because the plates are colliding there, pushing everything up...

>>60575037
Then why is it still called the "United states of [continent]" instead of having its own name if it's a single country now? Explain that, Mr. United Statian...
>>
>>60575154
Why change the name if its been that way for years?... Why change countless instances of "United States of America" on monuments, founding documents, etc etc? Its pointless.

Countries do not need names, just a title for international recognition. Maybe after the next major war America will Balkanize. Truth be told if you remove the "United States" feature, you completely undermine the 50 semi- sovereign bodies contained within it.

>Then why is it still called the "United states of [continent]" instead of having its own name if it's a single country now?

Because there was no real formal transition from confederation to nation. Even under the Constitution (1788), the states were so autonomous that you could reasonably claim that they were their own independent entities, part of of a free association. The US wasn't a single country until after the Civil War (although I guess you could argue it was after the Mexican-American War, either way we're talking mid-19th century). And the idea that the states are sovereign entities persisted way beyond that point.

If were going to abandom "American" to be more inclusive of Non-US countries in the Western hemisphere, I prefer "Usonian."

I also think the "British" should change their name, because it excludes Irish living in Ireland (part of the British Isles). Something like: United Kingdomian, Queensman/Queenswoman/Queensqueer, or WENIS (Wales, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland).
