MODERATORS
Most people use "Amerika" for "the USA". If one talks about "the Americas" we use "Südamerika" (south) and "Nordamerika" (north).
I believe everybody uses it wrong though. Technically "Amerika" is the continent. But most people mean "Die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika" (The United States of America aka USA)
