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?

Honestly? If we allow any other territory or country into the union, I personally feel we should rename to The United States of Humanity.

It’s more likely to be called the United Christian Kingdom, which will be shortened unironically to the UK by the idiots that live here

Doubtful. They’re a minority these days.
