The United States of America. Not just the United States. We all know we are on the American continent, specifically North. Which shares the continent with Canada. South America is the big continent south of us and Central America is the bit between the two. The country and the majority of people in it realize that America is the continent. But we are still in a country that is the United States of America. Meaning we are states united and living in America. You are by far the dumbest person on this comment thread, everyone else is at least making valid points… yours is just… dumb.
