technically, there is only one "United States" but you are right in that there are several countries with translations equating. Most, however, are "the United State of..." Any country in itself can be called a state, and thus would be a United State.

We usually say that the three letters stand for "Save Our Souls" but it really has no sure meaning. SOS as a morse code is the fastest, because shortest and also the one that uses less power, to type and that is why it is used in times of danger.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The United States Code (USC) is the codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States.  They are therefore different, as they deal with two separate areas (one administrative rules/regulations, and one laws/codes) and should be discussed separately.

The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

SOS does not actually mean save our souls or save our ship.  We were just joking about this at the office & I found the site below-lots of great info.\n\nAt the second Berlin Radiotelegraphic Conference 1906, the subject of a danger signal was again addressed. Considerable discussion ensued and finally SOS was adopted. The thinking was that three dots, three dashes and three dots could not be misinterpreted.  It was to be sent together as one string.\n\nwww.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/060199tip6.htm

From the beginning, the SOS distress signal has actually consisted of a continuous sequence of three-dits/three-dahs/three-dits, all run together. In International Morse Code, three dits form the letter S, and three dahs make the letter O, so "SOS" became an easy way to remember the correct order of the dits and dahs. In modern terminology, SOS is a "procedural signal" or "prosign", and the formal way to show that there are no internal spaces when it is sent is to write it with a bar above the letters, i.e. .)\n\nIn popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Souls", "Save Our Ship", and "Send out Sailors". However, these phrases were a later development, most likely used to help remember the correct letters — something known as a backronym.
