    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.
