Most people wouldn't respond to the question, "who was here first?" with "how much time has passed since you got here?". Right?

Yeah, by saying first it would mislead people into thinking USA were pioneers, but they were actually fifth because it took USA longer to institute. Not judging, just saying...and it makes sense because UK has been a country with cities for thousands of years, while USA is relatively new...with a slower need to get people moved
