The official name is ‘The United States of America.’ This was intended to reflect the fact that the nation was a federation of separate states (which at the time was basically equivalent to ‘nation,’ hence Hegel’s ‘nation-state’) with a great deal of reciprocal agreement between them, sort of like the EU of today. The ‘of America’ to denote that these states were all part of the American continent. After a while people decided that South America, Mexico, and Canada didn’t matter so they just started calling the US ‘America.’

I can’t wait to get home and wax my cat. Wait what??
I think Christopher misspelt twat.
The last thing I want from Lamebook is a history lesson.
cenobyte, by “cat” she means “pussy” and by “wax” she means, rip all the hair out of it.
Right?
