Why do Americans say the name of their state instead of their country when asked where they are from when people from other countries say the name of their country?

I would say this is because most Americans assume (often incorrectly) that whoever they are speaking to knows the names of all US states. Hence, they do not feel the need to say the name of the country.
Also, Americans tend to identify with individual states, as a way of differentiating themselves from other Americans.
