Yes? The USA is very often referred to simply as the United States. I really don't understand what you're trying to say.

no they often referred USA as America, they are always saying they are America not United state

 

[Verevoof]

Both United States and America are widely known to be referring to The United States of America.

Anyway, what is your point?

The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, or America)

What?

my point as that, i have not hear people, especilly of that country, call their country United State in a long time.

I'm pretty sure that's just you.

It's weird if you think about it... the country has no name!

I mean, there's the "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" (United States of Mexico) and the "Estados Unidos Colombianos" (United States of Colombia), there were the "United States of Brazil", even Argentina was "United Provinces of the River Plate" in the old days.

USA named their country the same as the continent. Odd.
Or is it, perhaps, that the Founding Fathers secretly hoped that they'd eventually expand the USA from Alaska to the Patagonia? With the help of the Illuminati, the UFOs and the masons, of course...

[Verevoof]

Then what, pray tell, do you call them?

LOL. You don't read much in English, huh? The United States are called the United States very often.
Due to your broken English I will assume you are a disgruntled South-American who doesn't like the US being referred to as simply America.

 

[Guiltyofbeingtrite]

In all fairness, my fellow americans (heh) were pretty good at calling the Soviets "Russians" throughout the entirety of the USSR.

Well, this here, is another United States citizen lolling at this discussion

ITT: We ignore Feargus' dev diary and talk about the proper name for the United States of America.

[Cimmerian Nights]

United States of Gringos more like.


But shouldn't we as sober, self-respecting Fallout and RPG fans be more concerned with the more substantive and relevant matter at hand: Oooo new pic of MCA!
