USA - Here follow some US-specific facts and cultural references that non-USians are expected to know..
Something I have wanted to verbalise for a very long time but couldn't because I'd just come across as a raving lunatic. I'm Australian, but I was born in China. I lived there and then in Ireland during my formative years. So yes, word to everything on the list.
Especially number 6 & 10.

of anime dubbed for American TV are stripped of all cultural references and in-jokes. I understand your pain. I can't watch dub, I just can't. It hurt too much.
I grew up watching Taiwanese/HongKong television, much Japanese anime and then was later introduced to American television. I love all of them, but having grown up watching such different texts with all their cultural references and jokes intact it left me quite aware of the differences in the different cultures. I appreciate that.
