I hate to break it to you but most people outside of America do not differentiate that much between what state you come from.

I agree with that, but “I’m from California” does have a different ring to it than “I’m from America”

it also just makes more sense in general, no one would say “hi i’m from the EU”, so why on earth do people say “hi i’m from the US” or “hi i’m from canada”?

I wished that worked for being a New Jerseyan, but people mostly just make mob and guido jokes.
We do love our deli meat though, so that one’s largely accurate.
