“America” is a continent with more than 20 countries; not a country.
You are referring to “United States of America” a quite unoriginal name. You can call its citizens “USians”.
Imagine France called itself “Europe” and claimed they are the only Europeans. The rest is “East Europe”, and that they are not European, but “East Europeans”.
That’s the nonsense that Americans (inhabitants of this continent) have to deal with because of the uncreative founding fathers of USA.
You can blame a lot of todays problems on the founding fathers, but this isn’t one of them IMO. They would have used the states names for their collective nouns.
If you’re actually advocating for change, I think Yankee is a way better term than USians. I can’t imagine people saying USians in a normal conversation, while Yankee rolls off the tounge.
Or just Yanks. I already call them this sometimes :P
All of it is stolen
I was only able to make sense of this after looking at the Hexbear crosspost and following the comment thread. It’s a parody of a similar map of China.

They’re at home, you’re the stranger around here, gringo.
Honestly splitting off Texas and California and all the states in between into their own country would be cool. Don’t know the geopolitical implications but I don’t really care.
Those belong to Mexico. This is the list of territories the US stole from Mexico thanks to Santa Ana in a very similar fashion, although without some key contexts, to what Russia is doing in Ukraine:
- Texas
- California
- Nevada
- Utah
- Most of Arizona
- Most of New Mexico
- Parts of Colorado
- Small parts of Wyoming
- Southern Arizona
- Southern New Mexico
You said Arizona and New Mexico twice.
