I think people forget that the United States has no official demonym, and that America, like Great Britain, is a place not a country.

Personally, I’m a fan of adopting Station, since we all seem to have decided that the United States is a nation and not a federal system.

As an aside and fun fact: my favorite demonym is Solarian, which encompasses all people from the Solar System. The Solar System, sometimes confusingly, is named like the Moon where all moons are moons, but ours is the Moon. (Solarian is sometimes confused with Terran, but that is specific to the Earth-Moon system. All Terrans are Solarian, but not all Solarians are Terran.)

i like statesian. this is Station
