Also, I respect your insistence on using a term other than American to describe people from the US.

Because no one else belongs to a state and so calling ourselves "statesians" is therefore better?

    Its not a perfect term. Changing language is difficult and messy.

    Do you have suggestions for something better (not meant to be snarky, I genuinely would like to find a good alternative and I bet cowbee would like input as well)?

    Usonian is another term I've heard, but it sounds even worse.

    It's not quite as easily understood as statesian or usonian, but I quite like what Erika3sis uses: Seppo

    What's the background in that one?
