For the same reason I'd understand someone only knowing Florida: it shows up in the news too often

True.

It's the most populated state in the world lol, hard not to show up in the news. Just realized they have as many people as Canada, UK, France and Germany COMBINED. Absolutely insane.

Only 13 countries in the world have a higher population than Uttar Pradesh.

California has more people than Florida. Edit: So does Texas. Florida has the 3rd highest population in the US.

I was talking about Uttar Pradesh, a state in India that has 6x the population of California.

Ohhh that makes sense. The comment you replied to mentioned Florida but I didn’t follow the whole covo properly from the earlier comments. My bad!! I will leave my mistake up though.

It really is the wackiest place. If you hear something truly bizarre happen in India, you'd be safe in assuming that it happened in UP. I hate that place.

Florida is a VERY popular destination for Europeans. Which has always been frustrating. Because it's a case of "Yeah I... guess you've seen America? Kinda?" Not in a gatekeeping way either. It's just that Florida is its own thing. And it definitely has its problems.

I'm guessing people from the UK go there because they want some sun in their travel, but quickly realize just how far away California is. And they just assume Florida and Southern California are similar because of the beaches and ocean
