Mandarin is about as pervasive in China as English is in Europe. The USA is definitely more linguistically homogeneous.

What might be unusual in the US though is that it's a big country in both population and geographic size, and yet the amount of regional variation in the primary tongue is quite limited. I think the UK and Germany have considerably more variation, even though they're smaller countries.
