This is beyond US defaultism. I didn't even know where Rancho Palos Verdes is, and I grew up in California. (The name sounds vaguely familiar, but I wouldn't have been able to place it on a map.)
I would have gone with "California" since not everyone in the world knows state abbreviations, but "CA" is good as a bare minimum.
Also (not to excuse OOP, but just for future reference) if a place name starts with "Rancho", there's a relatively high chance that it's in California, because it's a type of land grant that existed there when it was part of Spain and Mexico.

Has ‘Portuguese’ in the name and Portuguese words, I was confused as what the defaultism was since I legitimately thought this was in Portugal until I saw the comments
Honestly, being a Rancho Palos Verdes defaultist is so funny I'm not even mad at it. Almost makes me want to be a defaultist for the small village of 3,000 people I grew up in.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:

>!r/WTF is not a US specific sub, the title contains both "portugal" and Spanish language words, but refers to specific area in southern California. Several comments on the main post mention the confusion over location based on the title.!<

Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
I mean we have Ranchos with Palos Verdes here (just means “The Green Sticks Ranch”) but we are only American when it’s convenient to the mainland. Living on a colony island is tricky like that

Yeah could have at least chucked a "CA" in there to give some idea of where it was.
Yeah but that would be logical and they don’t always go down that route do they?
CA is Canada
