If you lived in France then you would say France not the France. If you lived in Germany then you would say Germany not the Germany. Some say that it is the "United States", that is what the map says. On the Organization of American States it reads "United States of America". When you are a civilian, they ask if you are US Citizen at the borders. On your tax returns you check off US Citizen. In the Articles of Confederation 1781, it clearly stated that the stile of this Confederacy shall be "The United States of America".
If the country's name is The United States of America then why would you shorten the name unless you were hiding something? Was the name changed.....ABSOLUTELY! In the US Constitution it was changed to "the United States of America" and "the united States of America". So i ask you again, what is the name of the country that you serve? Don't you think that it might matter to you?

Well, if you have a better one take advantage of it.
It seems to me you just called me ignorant. Frankly, if you think somewhere else is better, either work to bring this country up to that standard or go there.

Not sure i should say goodbye or good luck or what. Hope it works for you. The U.S. has worked well for me.
My experience tells me that if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence it is usually because someone or something is crapping in it.

I am working on that issue right now. Ignorant meaning lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular. I was referring to myself in this case not you.

Actually, Germany's formal name is Der Bundesrepublik Deutchland, or The Federal Republic of Germany.

LCpl Tom Goudey, you specifically cited Germany in your question. Just setting you straight. Further, the other country you cited is officially Le République française, or The French Republic.
The formal name of home sweet home is The United States of America.
Just saying.

This is corporation. Washington DC isn't a state it is like the City of London which is not part of London or Vatican City which is not Rome Italy. They are independent city states and considered to be their own countries.

I am disappointed that "Murca wasn't an option so I opted for The United States of America instead.
