We're also not the only union of states in the Americas either. Mexico and Brazil both have states, too.

At least as united as the US states... which is not a high bar most days of the week.

They are officially the United Mexican States.

They're more united

Could I refer to the US, Mexico and Brazil collectively as the not-united-united-states? (As in, they're each united states, but they're all not united)

On second thought, I hereby petition all three countries to unite together to form the United United States of the Americas

Edit: and just for funsies, because that name is too long, they insist on calling themselves the United Nations. Their citizens call themselves Americans. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
