    Israel: Palestine isn’t a country.

    US: it’s a village in Ohio.

    Edit

    Marvel: Batman is a hero.

    Turkiye: It’s a city.

    Edit2: i can’t believe no one caught my mistake of saying marvel instead of DC. Imma leave it there.

    I work for the federal government and had a coworker get incredulous I over the phone because she didn’t believe Georgia was a country. She eventually quit before she was fired but people get real ignorant when it comes to things outside of their immediate sphere.

    I still remember when Russia invades Georgia was a headline and how confused Americans where.

    What’s the actual name of Georgia the country? Like how we call Turkiye Turkey, or Nippon Japan.

      Fwiw the word you were looking for was “endonym”, as opposed to the exonym of Georgia.

      Yeah, all the other “countries” use the term “state” when referring to them in English. The US is the only place that has a ‘federal’ level ‘above’ states. If you’re on Lemmy, you should have some idea of what federation means. This should all put in perspective what the original idea of the United States was and how much control each level was intended to have.

      This also makes it all the more hilarious and stupid how Texans wanna call themselves a country. They don’t even know the words they’re using.

          In @Mango@lemmy.world’s defence, some of those don’t call their federal subjects “states”. Very many do, enough that the comment was ignorant in the extreme, but Canada is a good example of one that doesn’t.

          Yeah that figures. I don’t think they use the word country though.

      Well, of course. There hasn’t been a legitimate question on that point since 1991.

    Well there IS a country in Europe called Georgia, located in Eastern Europe and West Asia. It is part of the Caucasus region. In America the people of Georgia ACT like it’s its own country, but it ain’t. But then again people here in Utah act like our state is actually the whole world, so…
