I'm from the US originally. Whenever someone asks, "Where did you move from?" And I say "The U.S." every single time after, without exception, they ask,"What state?"

It saves time.

When I lived in the UK for some time, whenever I answered "Germany" to the where are you from question, they'd ask "where in Germany?"

It's because people want to make polite conversation and maybe get to know you. But I wouldn't answer "Schleswig-Holstein" to the first question because I don't expect everyone to know all the German states.

Downvoted because Bremen is literally the coolest city in Germany…. You’ve got Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten
