This country was formerly a collection of colonies, too.

Real simple difference. We didn't conquer the natives, putting them to work for us, killing their leaders, extinguishing any form of organizational capacity, rob the place blind until we could steal no more, then waltz off, dumping the leftovers in the native laps and expecting them to manage it properly. We just wiped most of them out, corralled the remainder, and took over.

That's why the values are different.
