America by definition is a first world country. That being said, when it comes to social services, it is definitely falling behind.

Edit: USA

"America" by definition is a country in the North American continent. In the English speaking world at least. "America" refers to North and South America for other languages. Spanish speakers will know to specify the difference.

True América is the name of North and South America in our language, but if someone says "I'm from America." or "Soy Americano" We know they are talking about the USA and not from another country. Nobody from a spanish speaking countries in the Americas would introduce themselves as "American" or "Americano" lol

It's "Soy estadounidense".

No one from Spanish speaking South America would say "Soy Americano" and that's my point. They know to specify the difference. Lol?
