What do you call the United States then, if we're going to follow the original definition of a nation? And what happens when millions of English speakers, the majority, start using a word in a different way? Doesn't language evolve?

On another note, was Rome at its largest extent considered a nation?

The United States is not a real nation.

It's a giant economic zone/empire based on liberal values.
