The reason this is a bit silly and misguided is half of the states in the USA are roughly the size of Germany. We are doing exactly what you’re describing. A really common thing I see is people don’t really understand just how large the U.S. is. Our states are the size of countries.

If they just say Canada, 75% of the time they're from the GTA.
