I wonder what a fantasy version of New Jersey would be like?
I could make a rival adventuring party based of The Jersey Shore cast!
It's about respect and relative power. You can't exploit the USA, even if you want to; that's the most dominant culture on the planet. Following that is probably most Western European cultures, and so on.

Of course. No culture is a monolith or a caricature. That‘s the problem. You’ve just described it perfectly. If you can see it in your own, then you can see it in others. An excellent summary.That is sort of the problem for someone on the outside looking at the US, as there are really anywhere from 5-10, or more, distinct cultures within the US, depending on how specific you want to get.

One of the other reasons you don't see not-USes as much is it doesn't have any existence (as the nation we know) in the preindustrial era fantasy RPGs are usually drawn from. There was Andoran in Golarion, though I noticed they tidied up our great national shame by not only removing slavery, but banning it in the kingdom...
