You've probably heard this before, but: The USA is not a singular nation from the inside. There's a single foreign policy and a single military system and a single treaty negotiator, but on the inside it's 51+ jurisdictions, one of which isn't even based on the same underlying jurisprudence as the others ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Louisiana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Louisiana ).
