I swear so many people in the United States forget there are other countries

I am an American...I am quite aware of the other countries of this world, I do know a little bit about some of them and am willing to learn more when the occasion arises. However, THIS is where I live, and the chances I'll ever visit one or more of these other countries (let alone live there) is remote at best. I do find other countries and cultures interesting and I enjoy learning something new when I can, but I don't study them and I don't go out of my way to concern myself with it.
