How is America defined?

There is no more America. This is just the central hub for the whole world where people come to live tax free and have a better life than they would in their own country. Although most people from different countries just come for a few years make money to send back to their original countries and family and go back. So I guess you can call this central hub a "meeting place" or "training camp."

America describes two continents, and includes many countries and nationalities. Americans are people that live on these two continents or on the isthmus known as Middle America. Similarly Asians are people from Asia...no matter what nationality (Chinese, Malaysian, Mongolian) they have, and Europeans are from Europe though they might be French English or Italian.
The United states considers itself a nation..but we are different from other nations because we are not composed primarily of people indigenous to this land. Race can be a factor in determining nationality (The Kurdish people consider themselves a Nation, though they have no state), but it is not the only factor. Other things that can bind a nation: political ideals (democratic - liberty, equality, life, pursuit of happi(y)ness), common language, culture, shared celebrations and holidays, common symbology (flag, pledge, anthem). We are a nation as long as we choose to be.

America is in itself not in existant. It is a term used to describe the U.S. of A. in which is at least two continents, north and south america. But I believe there is even more land involved in that realm.

In terms of what? Yes, America exists geographically speaking, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean...

Canada exists, Mexico exists, so probably the United States exists, in theory, certainly not in practice.

A country is defined by its nationalism.
I think that you are suggesting that Americans are no longer unified, and I agree. I think that we all dwell on trivial matters, when, instead, we should be better "Good Samaritans."
Thanks,
