Because USA is the only country truly tied to that name. The other countries around them don't really associate with it.

Let me break it down. Here is the locations.
USA people-United States of Amercia
Mexicans: United States of America.
Canadians: 50% in America... And we have Alaska, that they go to.
I mean, we basically own North America, and have world domination, if you guys have not realized.

USA was the first country in the Americas to gain independence. Other countries at the time were still European owned colonies. We can call ourselces America if we want to.

the same reason people say that Finland and Iceland are part of Scandinavia
Because it's a catchy name that attracts tourists


That's a hint! A CLINT HINT! [maniacal laughter]

"America = The continent"

Super, your argument is so wrong.

America is a continent, it was named after Americus Vespucius.

Stupid ignorant.

Think of it this way, If Canada named themselves, America of Canada or something like that, then they could. But people, now are very lazy and do not want to turn on caps lock to do U.S.A with the dots. It is the generation on fatasses

It's just a shortening of the United States of America. Want to know why? Because saying either the USA or the United States of America doesn't roll off the tongue like saying America does.
