Do we call it the United States of America?

Or the United States?

Or The US?

Or America?

Or Youelectedwhoasyourpresidentyoudumbfucks?

Les Etats Unis. Any variant. Royaume Unis, even. 

In my own country we get Eire, Eireann, the Republic of Ireland. Ireland, The slave nation that rejected the slavers. whatever.

Repoblacht na h'Eireann nails it. UKIANS do not like that we rocked off and sought our own destiny. Successfully. It is so mad that Brexiteers think we should stage an Irexit because we want to return to the crown. How stupid is that? The UK has never down more that take a massive dump on my country. Or cyprus, or Palestine. Or india. Or pakistan. Or Hong Kong. Or Singapore. Or so on.
