This isn't a facepalm. As any red-blooded American knows, the only country worth mentioning is America. Since all countries of note were founded after America, this OP is correct.
LoL. There was a comment today from somebody (in Canada) that mentioned "the time in Canada" as if there weren't multiple provinces in different time zones.
Self-centered exceptionalism isn't just an American thing, though they may be louder about it in many cases.
When it comes to self-centered exceptionalism, USA is #1!
So, Ireland is of note, but England isn't?
Culturally, Ireland is of great importance to the US. From the humble shamrock shake, all the way up to Lucky Charms, we owe a lot of debt to Ireland.
Meanwhile, we'll never forgive England for the Boston Tea Party. Look at how few Americans drink tea to this day and you'll see the level of contempt.
I grieve for the death of sarcasm.
