Why do Americans say... But how many states huh?

Why do Americans take as their measure of how well travelled someone is the number of US states they have visited? Is it because only 7% of them have passports?

Raise in polite conversation or blog form the number of countries you have visited and the response will invariably be... "But how many states you been too?"


29 + DC is my answer :)
