Coronada de gloria

The same happens with Rick Riordan. His entire magical world (which primarily deals with the GREEK gods) revolves solely around the United States. And the reason he gives is literally just "the US is the most important country currently so that's where the gods went". Camp Half-blood is literally located in NEW YORK. Demi gods from other countries are never explored or even mentioned in anyway whatsoever. The wide spread usamerican belief that they are the most important country in the world heavily influences how Rick Riordan (and most usamerican writers) do world building.

you all will do anything but educate yourselves about a country other than your own for once
