As a belgian european I often wonder if the United States seems as big to americans as Europe seems big to me.
I wonder if it feels different to be a citizen of a small country or a citizen of a continent-wide country such as the United States. Or maybe americans feel they are californians or new-yorkers before being american ?

I'm British and I couldn't name any cities in Illinois other than Chicago and Springfield. (For some reason I know all the state capitals).
However, the UK is five times the size of Illinois.

Brains are weird.
