I think most Americans would break the European continent into "Europe" (aka continental W. Europe), the UK, East Europe, and Russia. I think you're over generalizing now in thinking that most Americans know any other nations exist outside of America! I don't think I have ever met anyone though that doesn't think of the UK as part of Europe. Note there is a very clear distinction between Europe and the European Union. UK is part of both, we are not part of the Euro$ experiment though. See, difficult to generalize already!

"I don't think I have ever met anyone though that doesn't think of the UK as part of Europe." Except Brits, of course ;-)

  Except some Brits.

    It's really common to hear that someone from the UK is "going to Europe". Takes some time to get used to it.

I think you're over generalizing now in thinking that most Americans know any other nations exist outside of America! Are you kidding me? This base derogatory discourse does no one any favors.
