    And if your country is large, it does make some sense to mention the specific area you’re from instead of just the country.

    Especially if your country is essentially 50 different sub-cultures that have more differences than some European countries do from each other. But I think their point was that someone from another country might not know that Nebraska is in the United States, so we should identify that it’s Nebraska, USA for clarity.

      Just because the USA isn’t completely homogenous to those who live there doesn’t mean that it’s remotely comparable to Europe. Yes the EU and the eurozone exist, but the USA still has a common language, a common currency, a common government, and a comparatively tiny history.
