This applies as well to the US in many cases. I think Europeans frequently underestimate how much of our governmental authority rests with the States. Policies vary considerably across the nation, so any generalizations should be approached carefully.

As a European who moved to California, I agree up to a point.

There are huge differences in this giant country, and foreigners too easily think it's just Manhattan and LA, from watching TV.

But I would say the ~50 countries of Europe is an order of magnitude more diverse than the 50 US states.

Some Americans throw around "in Europe they do X" statements, which usually just mean they observed that in the 1-3 cities they visited.
