[quote=Anonymous]The USA is just an awkward name! Franklin originally used Colonized States of North America then that was simplified to United States of America. Most of the other so named countries have a unique country identifier as part of their name (China, Costa Rica, Bolivia). Those names don't also hold other geographic significance. Officially the USA does choose to use United States of America as a nationality rather than American (embassies, passports, etc). Colloquially American is pretty well accepted due to the absence of another term.[/quote]
