Canadian, Mexican, Guatamalan, Brazilian, Peruvian, etc. are all citizens of America.

Considering what the term American now represents, Vespucci is probably chasing Waldseemuller around the Afterlife trying to kill him, again.

I wonder what Waldseemuller was going to name the New World when he changed his mind about "America"
