Bah, you invented that there are two continents so you can call your country simply as America. You are the United States OF America (meaning: belonging to America)

If South America and North America were different continents they would receive different names.

I'll be willing to bet that the countries of Mexico and Canada would beg to differ with you if you said America is a continent. North America is a continent - America (the United States) is a country on the North American continent.

It depends on what you mean by America....there are two American continents North America and South America. However, sometimes when someone says America they are really just shortening the United States of America, which is a country.
