Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.
The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.

i’ve been to the USA once so this might not count… but i think i knew “Salem” before visiting the US (but did not visit Salem though) so it might as well count.
However very long after knowing Salem exists i saw a documentation about something in the area that possibly caused halluzinations in the peoples minds, the documentation suggested this was a likely cause for the cities history, but those effects were why i knew about Salem in the first place. i don’t remember what it was, think some plant, but don’t remember exactly.
however this is the smallest city i could name in the reagion you asked for.
well, but: I don’t see a geopolitical isolation there, they even want to build walls to start isolating themselves. and i don’t see anything unique in that situation either. newzealand, iceland, madagasca just to name a few are more isolated geopolitically and much more unique in so many ways too.
could you help me to see the geopolicically isolation and uniqueness you are talking about?
It is the distance and lack of opposition that create the geopolitical isolation. Canada and Mexico are both irrelevant on their own as rivals. The USA is the primary trade partner of both and hold major sway over both. No other power in all of history has had this level of isolation.
The lack of significant boarders and tensions means people have a very different outlook about traveling and foreigners. I’ve moved over 2k miles twice in my life, and I have been to most of the USA; all but 3 States. I have never been to Europe, and things like foreign languages have no real appeal because they lack application and practical use.
The boarder bullshit in the USA is a distraction tactics to suck in the imbeciles for populist nonsense. There is no actual boarder issue other than the complete lack of reasonable laws protections and reforms that would be enacted if Congress actually did their jobs. The USA has a tenth the laws and protections of Western European countries and Japan. This is why the billionaire oligarchy exists; loophole exploitation. These then fund the populists to squawk their bullshit distractions. None of their message has any relevance. It is the rallying call of convenient idiots and the ultra wealthy.
This place is unique in the way we face inward. It is really because the average person just can’t afford to escape, and it is a long way to get there. We have an enormous range of diverse regions within the USA.
I don’t know any small towns or cities in Europe, but my personality type is no one to remember names like this. I’m more curious about other’s perspectives. I can never leave where I am now, as I am disabled. I’m exploring my own way instead.
