The United Canadian and American States is an inaccurate name because the Canada is part of the North American continent, unless that's changed since the awakening.
I'll go with Canuckistani or Upper Non-Native Americans, to differentiate them from the Americans from the CAS, from Central Amercia, From SOuth America and from NAN. |

My guess is that "Americans" would be most likely. I'm usually presumed to be an American when I travel.
But I can also safely say that a lot of Canadians currently take some offense at being called American. Either 'cause they don't like them, or (like me) they want to be recognized for their own national identity. Ask a Canadian what makes him Canadian, and more than half the time, he's likely to tell you what makes him not an American. I have a lot of respect for my American counterparts, but we do have our differences, and I would definitely want those differences to be recognized. I can only extrapolate that those feelings would still exist somewhat a generation or two from now. |

American's, Canada is part of North America and most NAN's are going with a tribal name.
The real question is what do you call the people in CAS's since they would be dumping the whole american nation bit. During the Civil war 1861-65 they were known by their state names so I guess that might work if the CAS is more state's right's type. I think calling them "Confederates" is just a little to much over weight ,heiniken drinking re-enactor type. |

Just reading Shadows of North America, I'm inclined to say, "(Real) Americans" since that was clearly the intention that the CAS is the shining city on a hill and the UCAS was full of psychotic rejects and Canadians. |

"someone from UCAS"
it's easy enough. the Japanese would probibly call them "UCAS-jin" or "Yukasu-jin" which is "Someone from the USAS", so, i think that's the easiest way to say it. |

Yeah, right. Most of the UCAS considers Yankee to be an insult. They'd just be chill with that idea, especially around Baltimore and Washington, which is part of the South; the Midwest, Rust Belt, Upper Canuckistan, and Seattle. |

As they would be for Sox fans, Orioles fans, or pretty much anyone who isn't a tool.
I'd still have my Certified Yankee Hater t-shirt if I hadn't given it to a friend when he moved to New York. |
