    I think you mean America is not a nation, also besides north-america there is also south-america. You can argue as much as you want about about them being separate continents or not, they definitely share a name. I also talk about Americans when I mean people from US but if someone corrects me the only argument i have is that other people also do that.

      Yes, France, the country, and France, the nation also share the same name.

      There’s also the British Isles, Britain, and Great Britain.

      Additionally, you might want to consider South Africa, South Africa, South Africa, and Africa. (Still all different things)

      America in this case, I mean the nation which predominantly exists in North America and in the United States.

        Whenever I see people talking like this I get white nationalist vibes.
