I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.

Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.

Unless non-American politics is being deleted then it is just who the more prolific posters are.

US politics only is in the community rules.

That is weird!

Note: didn't notice that clicking the post heading would take me there until I checked after your reply and I'm still getting my head around the syntax for finding new communities.
