I was at Euros in Stockholm last year and when people asked me where I was from, I said the US. When they asked specifically where, I said California and they responded with "Isn't that a separate country?"
There are ignorant people everywhere.
It's lately a common joke in Europe "California is another country". The people you met were trying to be funny..... I heard the same joke a few times....
