    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…

        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.
