A Canadian English pun-nickname for the United States, playing on "The United States" and the idea that Americans are... a lot. The joke lands on the stereotype of American cultural intensity — loud politics, extreme reactions, over-the-top everything. It's gentle cross-border ribbing rather than vicious insult, the kind of thing a Canadian might drop with a dry smirk. Physics nerds who know about atomic excited states will appreciate the double meaning.
I saw on the news that the Excited States had another wild week — what else is new?
