The citizens of the US are hardly the only people to use part of the name of their nation as their national use-name. The United Mexican States has been mentioned, and then there is the Republic of South Africa (should they be Republicans?...nah - what would be left for the Peruvians, Azeris and others? And Greece is really the Hellenic Republic - maybe they should be called Hellions rather than Greeks); Great Britain (perhaps we should call them Great British? or, since it is really the United Kingdom, how about UKers?) and, oh yeah, Canada used to be the Dominion of Canada - which would make them the Dominators, right? Believe it or not, there are other things to argue about!
