Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months agoI didn’t know that Brazil was also a “United States.”
They’re not; they were using that as an example. They’re actually officially called the Federative Republic of Brazil (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil?wprov=sfla1).

Huh… I stand corrected.
Sorry about that. 👍

No problem bro, most people here don’t know that because it lasted for about 4 days or so. Our first president liked our flag and national anthem from the imperial era, so he said it was bullshit to change them. That’s why this “Republic of the United States of Brazil” didn’t catch on (thankfully), and got forgotten.
