Eh, it largely is? I remember the pre-crisis world, were the policies were projected as universal - basically the assumption was that us culture would infiltrate all things, and thus all places would have us culture and discussions. In russia and china, some values were shared, but by now means all values were shared. Europe may come close to having the same cultural discussions, but 10 years delayed compared to the empire core. Other regions engage in mimicry and may be doing there own thing entirely otherwise. Means, you got a small layer of "international community" among the elites, but the rest of the population, is of other opinions but also never asked.
