put together infers that the us is basically just a bunch of unorganized states with different agendas. Referring to them as united means that they are organized and have the same agenda/goal.
I don't think that it matters whether people say that the different states are separated, they are all part of the best god damn country in the world and if anyone would care to disagree then you shouldn't be living here. This is america.
United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Federated States of Micronesia, United Federation of Planets...there are several entities named in the same vein.
United States of Mexico has Mexico, federated States of Micronesia has Micronesia and that is the name. It's not like USA or UAE cause their "name" is where there are, and there are other countries there
I believe it's called America. My country used to be called "United States of Venezuela" and its name is "Venezuela" (everybody calls it Venezuela) so maybe its a country called America in a continent called America
Still more of a name than the United Kingdom. I mean at least you guys have the 'America' part, we're just a kingdom, which was formed by smaller states uniting (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)
Holy shit you're ignorant. South America and North America are continents. There are many different countries in south and Central America, and Canada and USA in North America. The country is called "The United States of America"
