Sure but that’s only equivalent to an American knowing where Europe is, as a lot of US states are as large as a lot of European countries.

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.

Not really, as a European I can tell you where all the countries in the north American continent are.
