In the Americas, we have space. Lots and lots of land and fairly big countries.
In Europe they have lots and lots of recorded history that's widely taught in English-speaking schools.
In Asia and Africa they have both land and history, but it isn't taught in English schools.
Anyways, yes, there are entire national parks in the Americas that could eat a small European country and have room for the UK leftover. Then there's Algeria in Africa which could take up the western half of the continental US and China is the size of Europe.
