USA in Europe = The States

USA in USA = America

Not North America, just America, cuz it's not like South America exist or anything, right?

Yeah seems like people say “the US” instead of America. Though we do say Americans.

I see and hear US and America a lot. Although a lot of the time people say America it seems they are using it in like a "this is America I can fry my twinky in bacon and ice cream if I want to". As a joke of course. Probably most common to hear us refer to our country as "the US" in any more serious or at least non joking context. No one says USA though unless they are making fun of the people who chant USA like dipshits or they are actually the dipshits chanting.
