Right, which is why I wrote "the United States ARE a government"

Did you never hear George W. Bush refer to the United State? 😄

Must have missed it.

I know that you have often heard and read THE United States, when, as you know, it technically should be THESE United States.

But on further reflection, THE United States does work, so long as you keep the verb plural...
