If you haven’t lived under a rock you know that USA stands for ‘United States of America’. If you haven’t noticed the nation does not really have an only-one-word name like France or China. Now, I ain’t saying that just because some sad excuse for a human being is asking on some forum “What could be an alternate name for USA?” that it should be changed like that but hey, people from USA; what would be an epic one-word name for your country? Let’s pretend that you had the power to change it. What would it be? Of course non-Americans can propose ideas also.
USA's Name
People from the USA don’t call it that, or the States, or America.
We simply refer to our country as… “The Best !@#$ing Country in the World!”
Hate to break it to you friend, but it’s actually The People’s Republic of China, and The French Republic…
Yeah, every country has a title around it’s name, the USA is only using the full title instead of the name because America is kinda larger than the USA
Which is a terrible misnomer since America is much more than the US: as a Canadian, I live in (North) America and I’m technically “american”, just like the folks from Mexico or Brazil are. If Sweden, Norway and Finland decided to unite and call themselves the Unified Nordic States of Europe, I’m pretty sure people would not refer to that country as “Europe”…

But they would. People are stupid, bro. You must learn that if you are to survive.

They would? I never told anyone about this but I’m from Finland (Gosh, I feel like I’m telling someone that I’m vegan!). If these countries would unite I don’t think at least I would be preferring to call the united nations “Europe”.
But hey, that’s just my stupid opinion. Maybe, just maybe people would call it that…?
What do you mean if…
People call it Europe, in the same context as people say “Excuse me I thought this was America”. There’s no claim to be the completion of Europe/America.
Also you forgot Denmark. Everyone always forgets Denmark. And Iceland.
I dunno, what do Americans hate the most so I can rile up as many people as possible? Fitness?
Just call it America, Canada is called Canada, Mexico is called Mexico, if you want to talk about the continent say North America or South America, if you want to talk about both, say the Americas, boom.
Health.
Books.
Homecooked meals.
Lack of WiFi.[/quote]
Cheap internet connection.
