What type of demonym is "unitedstatesian"? There's no "gatekeeping" here because the United States of America is the only country in the Americas CALLED "America". Should we apply the same logic of "Americans gatekeep their demonym!!" to Ecuador? Should the people who only live on the Equator be mad at Ecuador for gatekeeping the term "Ecuadorian"?

America is the Latin form of Emmerich which is the basis for names like Henry and Harry (Yer a Yank, 'arry!) There's also the proposed "Usonian" by Frank Lloyd Wright. And strictly speaking Hawaiians aren't American.

- No it's not. It was either named after Amerigo Vespucci or the Amerrisque mountain range in Nicaragua.
- "Usonian" is dumb.
- Hawai'ians are by nationality American.
- "Wesputia" sounds pretty fucking cool for America though

Amerigo is Italian (a Latin language) for Emmerich.

It's a simple plan. We inform the US federal government of oil underneath the soil of Estados Unidos land. The government, enticed by such a discovery, will then launch wave after wave of red, white, and blue-blooded patriot in the military at the country, occupying their lands, rebuilding recently dronestriked schools and hospitals, and ousting the legitimate government and its financiers for a proxy regime. It's genius!
