- jessriedel 5y agoThe more pervasive bias is to think countries are the best way to carve reality at its joints.

- xtracto 5y agoThis is the right answer, but it is not OPs fault, it is a typical custom of Americans. I saw it invariably happen while living in Europe and interacting with a highly international community (Americans were the only ones that answered "where are you from" with a state, everybody else, including Canadians, Indians, Russians, Mexicans, etc named their country)
