Which we pretty much have to: "United-Statesian" sounds far clumsier to the Anglophone ear than, say, the Spanish equivalent, which does manage to flow in a language that more rattles than flows, at least in most places outside of Mexico -- the other "United States" in North America. And Mexico came later to that name in any case, so somebody who alleges this is yet more Yanquí arrogance needs to go right back to
