Extends to anything really.
Hard to know better when you never left your country. (Majority of Americans don't hold a Passport)

- skissane 4y ago> Majority of Europeans haven’t left Europe. That’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. The US is a country, and Europe is a continent containing almost 50 separate countries. And before anyone says “US states are like countries”-the states of the US are no more “like countries” than the states of Germany are Only 40% of Americans own a passport, compared to 76% of people in the UK - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42586638 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42586638
- mnky9800n 4y agoI wonder what America would be like if it had 24 working languages like the EU. Lol.
- CRConrad 4y agoThen its states probably would be a bit like countries.
- skissane 4y agoIndia's states do have different languages, yet I've heard "our states are equivalent to Europe's countries" from Americans repeatedly, while I can't remember ever hearing the Indian equivalent (despite having many Indian colleagues and friends over the years)
