Hard to believe 'United Statesians' didn't get more traction :)


Actually, in Portuguese and Spanish there is the word "estadounidense" that is basically "Unitedstatizen". But this is a formal word, used only in books (and Wikipedia). At least in Brazil, we use "americano" in the day by day for both someone born in the USA or in the continent (which is still called "America", no plural).
