Lol at all you Cheap and/or poor American fucks that can't just hop on a train for half a day and cross through like 3 different countries after leaving your own.

Fuckin uncultured plebians. Yup, I live in Ontario, Canada where its possible to drive (Like Windsor to the Manitoba border) for 24+ hours and still be in the same province.

We're You're so uncultured, you might as well just give up. Your country is basically flat, with no redeeming geographical features or any sort of interesting topography, or climate differences between like Florida and Alaska, Hawaii, New York City, and Texas.

A land of boring nothingness. Shame on you America.

a) 28, plus a couple more if you're willing to count distant autonomous provinces as separate from their nominal sovereign.

b) Somewhere between 1 & 3. Little bigger than average but not like NYC/Chicago/LA.

Also worldwide: if people have marches/demonstrations/bunch of people outside, where they carry around blown up headshots or portraits, that country is hosed (not in the sexy way.)

I’ve been to 4 countries, of which Canada and Mexico count.

I was extremely fortunate to be the oldest grandchild of a wealthy brilliant woman (my grandmother) so in my twenties we went to Western Europe for six weeks three times.

I live in a suburb.

I've lived rural too and never in a big city.

By the way how stupid do you have to be to say America isn't a wealthy country seriously how stupid do you have to be. We have the money and we have the resources we're just completely squandering it criminally foolishly irrationally I don't even have any more words

My understanding is quite a bit of the world the people are still poor like making a dollar a day and there isn't enough to eat during droughts etc. I completely understand that America is total poo poo and three people have like 85% of all the wealth however I'm pretty sure Africa is still struggling overall. South America, India millions and millions of people

People are ignorant or just sheltered. Like ignorant if they can't understand stuff like GDP and per capita GDP, sheltered if they've never been to anywhere that wasn't the first world.

The enormous numbers involved in GDP are real and they really matter, and another perspective on the same truth is in the covid vaccination rates.

Almost half of all the fully-vaccinated people in the world are Americans.

How far are the DC suburbs considered now? I grew up in Arlington but I'd pretty much say Manassas/Dale City is probably proper DC suburbs now.

I am an American and I have visited in no particular order:

France, Monaco, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, Niger, Iceland, England, Jamaica and Australia (currently reside in Australia). I've been to Mexico and Canada as well. Mexico is waaaay more than touristy resorts, and Canadians aren't as polite as they're cracked up to be.

I live in a large city. I always have. I like the idea of not living in a large city but my field tends to locate in cities.

have you been to dollywood/gatlinburg/pigeon forge? You get to see some of the best roller coasters in the south, glow-in-the-dark mini-golf, pirate mini-golf, egyptian mini-golf you name it, if you go to the other side of the smoky mountains park you can do gambling at an indian casino and see a traditional village from before colonization a la colonial williamsburg that the casino's revenue supports, and you get to see a bunch of southern gay people who are an extremely strong contender for world's best accent.

talking about the diversity of the world while dissing dollywood, when you have mini-golfing in an old west town at the louvre let me know, i'll book a flight.
