"Well...the short answer is an American is someone from the country of the United States. I don't know why they're not called Statians instead, so don't ask. Although technically the country is the 'United States of America' so I suppose that makes it make a bit more sense. Culturally, Americans enjoy...um...apple pie, oddly chilly beer, a sport called baseball that's really just nutty cricket, and cars. Americans and other right-thinking countries in the world are in a war against Communism, only Communism isn't a country, it's a philosophy. So don't be Communist and enjoy apple pie and you'll be fine. Unless you anger the HOA. I've heard the penalties for violating the bylaws are murder."

That is Norton's version of a short answer.
