Top 10 Most Populous American Countries

Easy points

Cuba has 3 times the area of Taiwan, which has a population of 23 million. It's possible.

Yeah it's possible, in Asia...

The size doesn't really coincide with population. For ex. Canada is 2nd largest and 37th most populous, so it's possible.

Did it unhappen?

I thought it was American states so I was confused until in a last ditch attempt I wrote Canada. Then I finally realized that it was countries in the Americas

I read it as counties.

This is like the new what color is the dress.

The demonym American has been used, by virtually everyone in the world, to refer exclusively to the United States of America for many decades if not centuries. If any appropriation is taking place here it would be mis-using it to refer to everything from the Americas, something that didn't catch on anywhere outside of a couple of Latin American countries until approximately 5 or 10 years ago. The way you are using the term is so peculiar and confusing - to everyone, not just Americans - that it almost has to be deliberate.

It's not extended due to American cultural influence, Ferbin. The demonym was first used to refer to the United States of America by the British when referring to their colonies. The only way that cultural influence spread around this use of the term is because the English language has been spread around. And we're still speaking English. In English, American still is almost exclusively used to refer to people or things from the United States of America. There is nothing wrong about this. You are insisting on a change for ignorant, nationalistic, chauvinistic political reasons, not to be correct. It's no more wrong to call American things American than it is to call things from the United States of Mexico Mexican. As mentioned, virtually every person in the world understands the term to mean what I said it means, not just Americans. When everyone agrees that a word means something, that's what the word means. To claim otherwise is ignorant and wrong.

You are lying and you know that you are lying. Which should make you sad. I've spent many years living in Europe and been to many more European countries than you yourself have and I know what you are implying is just straight-up, flat-out, unequivocally false. Your willingness to be so openly dishonest says a lot how worthwhile a conversation with you on this subject would be.

French, if person A makes a testable assertion, and person B has tested that assertion and found it false, then person A's assertion is false, and this is a fact. It has nothing to do with person B's "views." Also, calling a spade a spade is not an insult. Gandalf knows what he's implying is not true, I've spent enough time in Europe to be certain of that. Again, this is my extensive lived experience. Not an opinion. Not a view. Virtually everyone in Europe knows what "American" means. Just like everyone in Asia knows, and everyone in the limited number of countries I've visited in Africa knows, based on reasonable inference drawn from interactions with a statistically significant sample population. These same people would be confused if you used the demonym to mean something else. I've gathered this information through literally tens of thousands of trials in upwards of 60 different extra-American countries.

The seemingly more and more popular conflation of opinion with fact, view and objective reality, arrogance and authority... is extremely troubling. The world of "alternative facts." And the proudly underinformed and uncommitted centrist.

A friend from Argentina visits Copenhagen and says he is an American.

They say you don't sound American, where are you from?

He says Buenos Aires.

They say, that's not America.

Is it really appropriation if it’s the most logical demonym? Every other country in the Americas has a logical demonym other than “America” so it doesn’t really matter does it. Are there so many Latin Americans going around referring to themselves by what continent they’re from as opposed to what country. If so, that doesn’t make much sense from my perspective.

French Guiana is a department of France, their equivalent of a US state. It is not a territory - something I learned taking these quizzes.

France and UK, these are only countries that they belong there ( instead of Ecuador and Chile

Only problem with that is they have 250,000 people there.

The description says that it is the most populated countries that are in the Americas - not the countries with the highest population in the Americas. Therefore France should be on the list.

Well then I guess by that logic shouldn't the United States be on the list of most populous Oceania countries?

Easy as, mate.
