What's interesting is if you did this for just about any other country, there would be a wall of star spangled banners.

If you ever travel outside the US, you inevitably hear about what the US is doing, what they're discussing, who the important people are, etc. The reverse is not true:

- Everyone outside the US knows the top US politicians. You even know what issues they are discussing, like gun control and healthcare.

- You'll know the names of the states. How many other foreign countries do you know the subdivisions of?

- You might also hear about the US sports leagues.

- You know what movies are big in the US. You know what songs are popular.
