Phrases containing a proper noun should not be hyphenated.

The phrase does not contain the word "America". Look again.

Did you just denoune America?

I see what you did there.

"America" is indeed a proper noun. However, the phrase does not match the Regex expression \b(America)\b, where \b means a word boundary.
