What??? Of course we dont call North America simply America, why would you even think that was an argument I was making? That goes against everything I’ve said.
And there is a country of America, it’s the United States of America. No one calls Germans from the Federal Republic of Germany - Federalisians, same goes for anywhere else including America.
Actually, literally the entire world excepted the US does call them "United States of America", if not only "United States", with traductions of those. The French use "États-Unis", often not specifying America, as do the Spanish speaking world with "Estados unidos". And, yeah, we often just say "Germany", 'cause Germany doesn't try to appropriately the name for the entirety of the continent they sit on, like that one weirdo country does.
Cool, do you see me going up to them and demanding they speak it like the English do? Stop being a shitcunt and trying to force your language and cultural norms on other peoples.
Oh and Germany does take on the name of a geographical region spanning more than the present day nation state called Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania
Your entire argument for why everyone should just do what you want is simply "We do it this way" and "The US is stupid"? Like seriously grow the fuck up mate.
