States or america or USIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

I usually call it "Jenkkilä", which translates to something akin to "Yankeeland". It's a common expression for USA, around here in Finland. Or I use "Usa", which is said as a word, not an acronym."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world

In English I usually call it the US, though I use USA for emphasis.
In Chinese it's called "American nation" and I don't know of any other form existing.Visit First Cultural Industries

In my own language.. I also call it 'Jenkkilä' most of the times, but it's not offensive term.
If in english, then I prefer using the US... I avoid using America, but sometimes I use the word because I don't want to repeat the same words over and over again.In da butt.
