match an indexed phrase with fuzzy in elastic

I have the 2 following entries indexed in elasticsearch:

united states
united states minor outlying islands

I'd like to fuzzy match with a distance of 1, thus if i send the follwing query terms, I'd like to only match united states:

united tsates
unitedstates
united sates

I've tried a span_near approach as suggested in other questions (here and here), but this still matches both united states and united states minor outlying islands.

How can I match only united states with the aforementioned list of terms ?

First attempt:

{
   "query":{
      "bool":{
         "must":{
            "match":{
               "country_name":{
                  "query":"united tsates",
                  "fuzziness":1,
                  "operator": "and"
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Attempt with span_near:

{
   "query":{
      "span_near":{
         "clauses":[
            {
               "span_multi":{
                  "match":{
                     "fuzzy":{
                        "country_name":{
                           "fuzziness":"1",
                           "value":"united"
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
            },
            {
               "span_multi":{
                  "match":{
                     "fuzzy":{
                        "country_name":{
                           "fuzziness":"1",
                           "value":"tsates"
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
            }
         ],
         "slop":0,
         "in_order":"true"
      }
   }
}

How about a fuzzy query on keyword field? Something like this

GET test_index/_search
    {
      "query": {
        "fuzzy": {
          "country_name.keyword": "united tsates"
        }
      }
    }
