The British Colonists were the first to coin themselves as Americans but not attributing to revolutionary ideas against the British overseers but it was based on the idea of Queen Elizabeth I had boosted the name America from Her colonial competitor The Pope of Rome.
The United States is designed as a schizm of the first Empire.

I kind of hate how generic and bureaucratic sounding United States is. And the term American is ambiguous, because anyone from North, Central, or South America could also be referred to as an American. I propose that we immediately rename the country Hamburgundy. It's the obvious choice, really.

Spanish uses an adjective for American that isn't Americano - Estadounidense. literally UnitedStatesian. Americano is strange for Spanish speakers because 'America' is more associated with the two continents than the US. But it might be different depending on the country. Not sure.

This calls for an alternative history fantasy author writing a (series of) book(s) about German speaking Fredonia with either New Germania or New Berlin as its capital city. Of course with the German word Neu for New in that capital's name.

United States should be called new China because China is better than the United States. Alaska will be new Mongolia, Texas will be new Xinjiang, California will be new Guangdong and New York will be new Zhejiang

Liberia could've been a candidate instead of Fredonia, Liberia sounds better and was only used a century after the Declaration of Independence.

There is a strong argument that America doesn't come from Vespucci but rather a mountain range in central America called Americas.

Obviously they wouldnt keep the name united colonies because then theyd get sued by nbc 200 years later and a slave revolt within 20.
