Also, Americans really kinda have the same problem, as we catch shit all the time for calling ourselves "Americans", since the Americas are actually two whole continents, one of which The States has no territory in. But United Statesian feels forced, and "America" is in the name.
I vote for calling you guys 'United Statians' XD I'm gonna call it that from now on :p (if I say such a thing I'm not joking... from now on you shall be 'united statians')

Summer Breeze Summer Breeze Also, America has about the same land space as Europe, but I understand the feel, because every state is (supposed to be) like another country. There is a distinct difference between culture in California cities vs rural Pennsylvania. Believe me, I've lived in both.

do I need to say more? that is just one state and it's almost as big as europe! look at my little country, it's completely swallowed by one state!
 
Yeah, it's kinda weird, we have quite a sum of people we just put into being 'Dutch', part if it it's because Netherlander and the like sounds odd and another thing is I think we're just lazy.
I could start using the Spanish word for US citizens: estadounidense

What...the government cares about breaking even on the debt?
No, but then again we don't have 50% income taxes and 21% sales tax

Well, Western Europe, yeah, that's small, but regarding it as the main portion of Europe is almost as bad as me calling myself American.

but do you know how confusing that is for us dutch people?? lemme tell you something. that country you call germany, well, it's not called germany, it's called 'Deutschland' and the people who live there are 'Deutsch' and they speak 'Deutsch'. but then, in english, we are suddenly 'dutch' and that is awefully similar to what we call germans XD you see what I mean? it's flipping confusing!
 
Even if we did, I doubt they would still care lol
Yeah, give them more money and they'll just spend even more. It's partially what sways me in the direction of wanting America to be more capitalist.

I know. It could be worse, though; you could have no actual name at all.

but they speak german! There go it's only right for us to call them as such! lol I know what you're saying, but don't worry, English is probably the most bs language on the planet.

well, that is the main part of europe. yea, okay, it doesn't include 'eastern europe' but they are not that europe-ish XD no discrimination, technically seen you are right and all and it's wrong of me to call that the main part of europe but still. LOOK AT HOW SMALL THE NETHERLANDS IS COMPARED TO TEXAS!

in english they speak german ;) but in the whole rest of the world they speak 'deutsch' XD
 
okay okay, maybe you were right there ;)

but what exactly did google define as 'europe?' because there are a few differences in what they concider part of europe and what not.
I'd Imagine the European landmass from the Urals west, since that is usually what Europe is defined as
 
or fact is objective so not really a fact>.>
Countries are political entities. They are political.

Continents are landmasses formed over millions of years, during which politics has not effected their formation. Non-political.
