The world itself is anarchistic. Each counties has its rules but international politics have no governing body (the UN doesn’t really rule over every state, just serve to mediate discussion). The country with the biggest stick would probably be the US, but they haven’t conquered Canada or Mexico, let alone everyone else. Other players like Russia or China have influence too.
While the US does have a lot of soft power in influencing nations, they certainly aren’t making the rules for other countries and puppeting them.
Funny how Canadians don’t want to be called “American”, Mexicans don’t want to be called “American”, but everyone from outside the area INSISTS that it’s an appropriate name for them. Even the commenter above called you a “US person”, the only other time I’ve seen that was in legislation about immigration, never as a demonym.
I just use the VC feature of games, meet people and from there join a discord server with them. It’s better to think of discord as mimicing friend groups, rather than gaming communities.
