But when it comes to naming countries America = USA since nobody else in the Americas uses America in its name (well last time I checked).

"While "countries" is the commonly used descriptive term, owing to the a lack of a formal British constitution, and the protracted and complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom, the countries of the UK have no 'official' appellation."
