It was not until July 2, 1776 that we became a single nation - but even then it was a confederation of separate states. So, in reality, it wasn't until the Consitution was ratified that we became a single nation comprised of states. And don't tell me they had no international signifigance - Europe's involvement in the Civil War was contingent on which side each country thought would win. But even still, I said it was an over-simplification, but the analogy still works better than the original posting. Ah, but then, the original colonies were separate “countries”.

Missouri is not a city. Think of it this way, if Europe was a country, it would be the equivilant of the US. Germany would then be the equivilant of Missouri. Same way with Africa: Africa=US, Kenya=Missouri, Nairobi=St. Louis. I know, it is over simplification, but it works better than your scenario.

He was from Nairobi, and had never seen a lion in his life. I was stuck at Heathrow once, and a fellow behind me was complaining that everywhere he went in Europe, people wanted to ask about lions.
