Name a country that starts with a "U"

While generally I do think most Americans knowledge of other countries outside their own is horrendously bad, there were a few questions I felt were kinda misleading.

For example is star wars based on a true story. Obviously they are trying to make it seem that the person thinks space fighters and so forth exist. But really the basic principle of Star wars could be based on a true story. Maybe the person had heard of star wars being influenced by a old Japanese movie (hidden fortress) and thought that movie was based on a historical event. Young orphan teams up with rogue to save a princess, seems feasible that it could be true.

It does annoy me how many Americans take the attitude that other countries are worthless though. I've had quite a few American friends who when questionned why they don't travel more their answer is along the lines of ''Because America is the best country in the world, we have everything, why the hell would I want to go to a foreign country?''. It basically seems they think the only reason to go travelling is for beaches or snow. Forget experiencing different cultures.
