Would using gotten as past participle of the verb 'to get' be wrong?
In American English, "gotten" is commonly used as the past participle of "get," while in British English, "got" is typically used. Both forms are grammatically correct, so it depends on which variant of English you are using.
Is just gotten back a correct grammar?
In this case we would need to know the full sentence with the subject. For instance, if you say I have or I've...it would be correct to use gotten. However, although the sentence may be correct if you are using "have" in the sentence, the best way to say this sentence would be to eliminate have altogether. Then "gotten" would not be correct. You would say, "I just got back" or "We just got back". Usually when you are using have in the sentence (other than stating possession) than the use of "gotten" can be the correct usage for the word "got". In this sentence, since "back" is not something that is/was possessed, than gotten is the correct term if you are using "have" in the sentence. For example, if you were to say "we've gotten the answer", than that would be incorrect because it is showing possession. In this case you would want to say, "we've got the answer". There are many other rules pertaining to the use of gotten.

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.
