Unitedestadian has long been the term used to describe USA citizens by the Spanish-speaking population of the Americas. Not their fault the country picked a length intro title and a vague region as their country name. Imagine if the UK was the UKE, United Kingdom of Europe, and called themselves Europeans by default. The other 90% would be pissed and make their own names, no?

    That coulda worked. If only it didn't sound like an Ace Combat antagonist country. Osea, Usea, Yuktobonia, Belka, Aurelia, Usonia, see?

    In truth, I'm just a Frank Lloyd Wright fanboy.

    Frank Lloyd Wright designed awesome buildings, but his "usonian" urban planning ideas (i.e. Broadacre City) were fucking catastrophic.

    I haven't been able to find the reference again, but I read something that said he actually worked for the FHA and wrote some of their design guidelines -- in other words, that he was directly responsible for the proliferation of suburban sprawl.
