America is a continent not a country.

Technically anyone living in North or South America should be called an American.

USA citizens should be called...USAians =D

@Toxic: Is that really funny to you. There is only a few of 'Overweightians' among us. Even then it's mostly genial, meaning the people got their condition through genes and so on. Another thing for you to know. America has a wide variety of citizens. So an obese person could, indeed, be from the U.K, or Ireland, or any other European country. I would suggest for you to not be stereotypical.

@Agent_86: I'm sorry but read what I just said, it really isn't that true!

Overweightians? What? Canada is one of the most health-conscious nations in the world. You don't have the liberty to say that.

OMG!!!
Why do people cause so much grief over fat people? It is just annoying and a waste of air and time. People are fat, so what? Are they really affecting you? REALLY, REALLY affecting you? It is just another way of putting the pressure on someone else to alleviate your grievances! Just like the holocaust (without the death and camps and stuff)

Another good reason:
It sounds better than United Statesans.
