My ideal map.

[Ainin]

Completely and utterly stupid.

As Canadian, I'd immediately emigrate if I lived under the same nation as those two.

And I'm guessing you automatically think the US would completely control the place?

Considering there's 300mn Americans and 30mn Canadians, yes.

In all fairness, this is a legit concern. 315M vs 34M

[Utceforp]

As long as everyone gets a say and it's not just "USA annexes everyone trololol", I'm fine with it. The United States of America would finally be accurate as a name, of course, instead of being a close runner up to the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and the "Holy Roman Empire" in terms of intentional use of wrong terms in a country's name, but we've got to call it something else, obviously. In short, what would we call the country?

How is United States of America not a correct term. Is it not the Union of several American states?

"United States" is accurate, but "of America" is inaccurate. The USA comprises less than a quarter of North America and South America. It's the equivalent of France renaming itself "Europe."

Well, not exactly, here I can TG some reasons why the name fits if you want.

Considering there's 300mn Americans and 30mn Canadians, yes.

MWAHAHA! And with the implementation of miles, we will finally conquer those blasted Canadians that have eluded our grasp for so long!

Not in my visionary country. *Nods*

He is implying America = the Americas, as it is in Romance languages and once was in other European languages.

Sure, go ahead.

[Viritica]

Why are you ripping apart all the great nations of the world?

Also, with the USA, I could understand making Hawaii and Puerto Rico independent but why all those states? Alaska was purchased with hardly any population in it. Texas wanted to become part of the USA. And California, hell, California wanted to be a part of the US as well.

[Nuverikstan]

Perfect! I don't care about the rest of the world, but good job Texas!

The United States of America, is correct.
It wouldn't be correct if France named itself Europe, but if they named themselves "The United(Something) of Europe, it would be fine.

[Libertarian California]

So... USA+Canada+Mexico.
Let's make this happen!

Hell no.

[Utceforp]

Does this visionary country systematically kill off Americans, or encourage the mass reproduction of Canadians?

[The Merchant Republics]

So screw cities-states that have remained fiercely independent for centuries, but yeah, more than three people wanted to make British Columbia it's own country once, let's do that. No really, there are more people in the Canadian libertarian party than the Cascadian movement!

No. America is an accurate term.

The United States of America, is correct.
It wouldn't be correct if France named itself Europe, but if they named themselves "The United(Something) of Europe, it would be fine.

Alright, good point, but it encourages people to call it "America", which I would call them out on, if it were not a stupid thing to start an argument about.

[The Merchant Republics]

"United States" is accurate, but "of America" is inaccurate. The USA comprises less than a quarter of North America and South America. It's the equivalent of France renaming itself "Europe."

No. America is an accurate term.

Indeed, it is no more inaccurate than the EU, calling itself the European Union, despite not encompassing the entire continent.

The USA was the only independent country on the continent at the time.

[Wilkia]

I think Catalonia should be independent from Spain in the map. Seeing that there's been a few sporadic calls for independence within the region. But then again butchering another beautiful country.

[Viritica]

The United States of America, is correct.

There's North America and South America.

Then there's the United States of America.

People regularly call it America and it is an accepted term.

Get over it.

"United States" is accurate, but "of America" is inaccurate. The USA comprises less than a quarter of North America and South America. It's the equivalent of France renaming itself "Europe."

And the US was the only independent nation in the Americas when it gained independence. The United States of America was a pretty accurate name because there were no other states in the Americas, just colonies and small native tribes.

[Utceforp]

"United States" is accurate, but "of America" is inaccurate. The USA comprises less than a quarter of North America and South America. It's the equivalent of France renaming itself "Europe."

The USA was the only independent country on the continent at the time.

That, plus Manifest Destiny and all that, was the reason that the country was named that, yes. But now it is an inaccurate name.

[New haven america]

Hell no.

Hell yes.

[Libertarian California]

Alright, good point, but it encourages people to call it "America", which I would call them out on, if it were not a stupid thing to start an argument about.

Let me break it down:

North America: the continent from Alaska to southern Panama, including the Caribbean (although for political reasons, Canada/USA/Mexico, and for cultural reasons, Canada/USA

South America: Everything south of Panama

The Americas: North America and South America combined

Latin America: Mexico to Argentina plus the Spanish Caribbean

Anglo-America: The United States and Canada

America: The United States of America

[Utceforp]

Get over it.

Didn't I just say that I didn't want to start arguments about it? And I'm not saying people should go to the effort of changing the name over such a trivial matter, just pointing out that it is inaccurate.

[The Greater Luthorian Empire]

The USA was the only independent country on the continent at the time.

That, plus Manifest Destiny and all that, was the reason that the country was named that, yes. But now it is an inaccurate name.

So what do you suggest we rename the country to?
