*US. America is the whole continent. You guys just think you're the best country so you pretend to own the entire thing.
Lol. If we want to get technical, it's the U.S.A. and there are 46 states and 4 commonwealths and Delaware, not Virginia, is the first state.
As a USAian, I agree with WarriorCatCuber. Im probably gonna disown the US soon, and move to Europe, it sounds nicer there.
Also, technically America is two continents, and the US thinks their special enough to represent the whole set of 20 or so countries.
