I understand what you mean now. Yes the common culture is huge. But the States *could* have gone independent and North America would be a land of 50 independent countries.
In fact, in Europe I tend to think of countries as equivalent to states (Portugal has the same population as Michigan, etc)
But is true that Europeans focus a lot more on what makes them different, centuries of war w
ill do that to you.
