I mean... ok, put it this way, Canada is what this country is called, Jamaica is what that country is called... but the United States isn't so much a name, it's what it is... it's a description more than a name... it's 50 states united.
I figure this is why people from the US are called Americans... I mean, Canada is in North America as well, but we're Canadians. People are from Mexico are calls Mexicans... most countries have a name to call their inhabitants... but the US has "Americans."
So, what do you think would have been a good name for the US instead of the US?

I have an idea, Why don't you answer your own question and then tell us what you think, what do you think?
