[quote=Anonymous]Of all of the sovereign states and dependent territories in the Americas, [b][i]only[/i][/b] the United States contains the name "America" Therefore, it is logical that the United States of America would be the only country that abbreviates itself to "America" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_in_the_Americas Additionally, if you look over the entire list, every other country with similarly worded names (Republic of Costa Rica, Commonwealth of Dominica, Plurinational State of Bolivia, etc) abbreviates itself in exactly the same fashion.[/quote]
