But they're still states. States are internal divisions and only meaningful within the US. From an outside perspective there are very few differences between states, nowhere close to the differences between different countries.
Similar to how we don't talk about states or other divisions of china, even though there are probably divisions with more people than half of Europe.
fair enough, it's just that learning all countries in North America is a lot easier than those in Europe
