Puerto Rico is a common wealth and Guam is a territory. I don't really know of other countries that put the word "America" in their common country name so the US called it the way I see it. The words "United" and "States" are both generic anyway and "America" is the only proper word in the official country name.
This signature is much better than its previous version.

But America is better than Canada. Doesn't that mean that Canada is America's Mexico?

America already has a mexico. Canada is more like America's Salacious Crumb.
