Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?
Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by “Americans”, while it doesn’t for us.
The average non-Usaains knows way more states than the average Usaains knows of foreign states/provinces.
Not knowing about where Delaware is relatively to Idaho is not the same as not knowing that Sudan isn’t in South America.
Some non-US folks know more about the states than US folks
For instance, I have no idea where Delaware is. Northeast, right? There’s like 30 states in that top right corner
I don’t know where it is. I could look it up, but I would guess… Idaho would be middle almost all the way north and Delaware somewhere south-west of that. I don’t think Delaware was in the original 13 colonies and I don’t remember seeing any mentions of it between Quebec and Florida when I went when I was 9 😛
Had to look it up.

Oh, wow, it’s way more east than I thought. With all that meaning around about it, now I’ll remember!
