Does any other country incorporate "The United States of" into it's official name?

i believe that we are the only ones that have that.
Almost. Mexico’s official name (translated) is the United Mexican States.
And don’t forget the United Colors of Benetton.
yes, but it does not say the same as us. “the united states of”
….which is why I said “almost”.
yes i see that. it is weird how they can be so close in name but so differant.
Well what’s weirder to me is that the two national languages (NOT official languages – not getting into that argument) typically do it the reverse of the countries’ names. Spanish uses “of” (“de”) to describe things belonging to something, whereas English typically uses adjectives.
United Arab Emirates, which also translates to United Arab States. Also, close but not exact.
Does “United States Virgin Islands” count? :-)
“Federated States of Micronesia” is close, but not exact.
Lets not forget the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics… Not an active country, but pretty close.
