But they’re still states. States are internal divisions and only meaningful within the US. From an outside perspective there are very few differences between states, nowhere close to the differences between different countries.
Similar to how we don’t talk about states or other divisions of china, even though there are probably divisions with more people than half of Europe.
You might not. As an American I’ve found it useful to know the difference between Sezchuan and Fouzhou. I do know and have worked for a fair number of Chinese immigrants though.
Sure but that’s only equivalent to an American knowing where Europe is, as a lot of US states are as large as a lot of European countries.

fair enough, it’s just that learning all countries in North America is a lot easier than those in Europe
Not really, as a European I can tell you where all the countries in the north American continent are.
all 3 of em? wow what an accomplishment
You’re forgetting 20 countries.
North America doesn’t end at Mexico, it ends at Panama, and it also includes the Caribbean.
it was pointed out already thank you
I don’t see that, maybe a de-federated post to my instance.
i think all comments are federated regardless? but whatever it’s ok
There’s a third? Oh bugger 😝
Canada, US, Mexico, Cuba and apparently a bunch more I forgot about.
Oh damn. I thought there was Canada and Not Canada.
that also works
