California has an insanely huge population and also gdp.

As of 2025, California's gross domestic product (GDP) is $4.251 trillion, making it the largest state economy in the U.S. and the fourth largest in the world.

If anything, if we're going to be jerks and say what locale deserves to be posted about and which doesn't, I think most of those 70 other countries have less standing to be posted about.

If the fourth largest economy on planet earth banning a widely used toxic chemical isn't news, almost nothing is.
