I specifically say "The united states" or "US" OR "USA". Partly because people in latin america would get mad at me for saying im from america (as they say, "latin america is america too")
I don't look like my nationality (I could be from anywhere most people think I'm local) but my accent/voice gives it away. But I used to and am still not really proud of my country but I do enjoy the conversation shitting on my own country but I very much am from there and have many of the traits.
I don't take it too seriously I use it as an opening to learn about the country I'm in or the country of the person I'm speaking to. Making fun of your own country is a great way to make connections with people.
