To certain demographics, there is nothing except the US.

I really did get into a discussion once (LONG ago) with someone who thought that only the King James translation of the Bible was valid.

I was seriously trying to avoid the usual cliches. Fortunately, the folks I stayed with were of the enlightened.

That would be presumably the Bible which was subsequently translated into aramaic and transcribed onto the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Right, except for the parts which were translated into Latin & Greek & sent back in time to the medieval church.

I once met a very lovely lady, while traipsing about Europe, who refused to even consider going to the US, because of all the crime here. When I tell this tale to some of those who can't even find their home state on a map they find it difficult to believe me.
