I used to believe that California was it's own country, aka "America". When we took a family vacation at Thanksgiving to visit my grandparents in Alaska, I kept asking my parents how many days until we returned to America. They kept telling me that we were, in fact, still in America but just in another state. I still didn't quite get it, but, I kept my mouth shut because I was afraid they were going to get even more upset by my questions.
