US did it with a whole country named after a continent. What's your country? those states who decided to unite. Which ones? The ones of America. Ah those ones.

It's not 'United States of North America', it's just United States of America. America is actually two continents.

Not like that makes it any better LOL, just saying..

We're also not the only union of states in the Americas either. Mexico and Brazil both have states, too.

At least as united as the US states... which is not a high bar most days of the week.

They are officially the United Mexican States.
