Please be aware that SpanishDict rules require all members to make an effort to find the answer to their problem before posting a question. You were probably unaware of this rule since you are a new member, and perhaps you are so new to learning Spanish that you may not be familiar with the many free, publicly available sources of information to help you find answers to questions such as you asked.
You could ask Google "what is the United States in Spanish"
You could look up "United States" in any on line Spanish - English Dictionary. We have a very good one here that you can access at any time by clicking on the SpanishDict Icon at the top of most SD pages. You can enter words or phrases in English or Spanish.
For some questions it is helpful to search in the hourglass search box on the upper right of the main page Q & A Page / Hot Questions. There you will find many prior Questions and Answers from which you can learn a lot.
I hope you understand the reason for this rule. If everyone asked a question every time they didn't know what the word for X is in Spanish or English, or "what's the difference between ser and estar?" we would have a zillion questions but most members would not learn anything new by answering the questions or by reading the answers. If we restrict questions to only those whose answers cannot be easily found in the dictionary or previous Q&A's, conversely, we will all learn a lot, and learn so much faster.
I hope you enjoy learning Spanish here and from the many other resources available.
The "EEUU" is not confusing, really, for a Spanish speaker. I have seen it both ways: "Los EEUU plantean....." and "Los EEUU rechaza la idea de que...". I treat it as singular in both Spanish and English.
Yes, it is one country, therefore, it is singular. Since 1783 (¿?) when the Constitution was adopted... the longest in existence.
When I say America or American in English, I mean the USA. In Spanish I use éstadounidense. I use las Américas in Spanish to refer to all of us.
I do use "the states" when I am abroad and speaking to another American in English.
Coincidence? It has to be. I was thinking about the very same subject right now. I’m not doing anyone’s homework, but think of this: “The United States is a country” or “The United States are a country”. The “Unit-ed States” is plural, no? So why not “are a country”? “The states is united as one country” sounds bad. It’s just another conundrum of language. ?
