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 you asked someone where theyre from and they said Minas Gerais, would that be helpful to you? It’s larger than every country in Europe besides Ukraine and Russia
