On the one hand Britannia is smaller than the US, but it's been inhabited for far longer.
On the other hand, while the various communities of the British Isles were in regular contact with each other through trade and adventurism and such things few people actually did, they were not even remotely as interconnected as they are today.
At the same time, America saw the same developments in transportation through railways and eventually the car, and you see extreme interlinking taking place there.
Because American communities developed more or less as twins and British communities have spent centuries as cousins, American English doesn't have the same regional variety that Britain does.
It's properly interesting to see how globalisation impacts us in more ways than economics.
