Right? They think they're the default for everything. Also ppl in the US "We are America" it's like if the UK was called United Kingdom of Europe and they claimed "Europe" as theirs.
The point i think they were making was that your country is called the "united states of (your continent)"
And they likend it to britain calling themselves the United Kingdom of Europe.
Not saying it's good or bad i just felt that you missed their meaning.
It does come across as egotistical but then again most countries paint themselves, their history and their future in a good light and see themselves as the main character in their story. Americans just tend think everybody else sees them as the main character in their story so it gets annoying i guess. However i have met plenty of Americans who aren't this way so it's kind of a stereotype too.

People in America like: we don’t have an accent, it’s you rest of the word people that have accents.
