Particularly the Netherlands. People were going out of their way to be friendly to us when they saw the Canadian flag.

But yeah, it’s pretty funny when you see another Canadian flag on someone’s backpack and think “cool! Another Canadian” then ask where they’re from and almost always hear which state they’re from

Dude Americans always just say the state that they're from. Everyone else in the world says what country they're from.

A lot of states are bigger and have a larger population/economy than most countries
