What is DX? Europe is country rich, similar to the US states. They get
1 point for working all those countries which are smaller than many or
most of our western states.
If we define DX as 2000 plus miles ok.
I would be fine not getting any points for working stations in Colorado
and one point for all other states. It is nearly identical to Europe.
The USA is Republic made up of individual states. Not much different
than the European Union.
We contest for fun. Not a whole lot of fun happened in NA. I could
find spots on 20m every day that never happens.

Answer: Because it's a DX contest! A better question is, why are we all
forced to work a station in our country just to get country credit for our
own country? Wouldn't it be way more efficient to just get automatic credit
for our country and zone?
The point of CQ WW DX - That's "World Wide DX"- is to seek out and work DX.
Its not to fill up the log with domestic Qs. There are plenty of contests
all year long to do that.
