My fellow United States citizens (including POTUS) don't seem to want to acknowledge the fact that our country is not the only one in America that matters.
I wish more Americans would feel our country is the only one that matters to us, take care of business at home, and quit fucking up other people's countries.

It's a reasonable abbreviation. The United States of AMERICA, clue's in the name see.
Which countries in South America have the same word in their country name, whether it's the one they call themselves or the one they are called by other countries? I'm guessing NONE.

I live on the British Isles, in Great Britain, in the United Kingdom and in England (no wonder I move around so much!). Generally though, I refer to myself as British and abroad I am considered English. Can't say it bothers me.
Does everyone know the difference? Hell no. I've been in and watched too many quiz shows to think that.
Does it bother me that other people who live in this country aren't as well-informed as I am regarding geography? Hell, no.
I'd rather they were geographically ignorant than politically ignorant. Sadly I don't get to choose, and I'm afraid many are both

Still, feeling superior sometimes makes the long Winter evenings just fly by.

Bruce makes a very good point that the USA should really be the country that matters most to people who live there.

I've been called fat, ugly and stupid, which are completely different things. But they all apply, so can't say it bothers me.

But it's a very interesting idea, and well done.
I can get a six pack here for a little over ten bucks.
