FWIW, I have a known a few Brits who are a bit similar, even though they long since gave up on the empire, they still have this sense of uniqueness and exceptionalism.

i’ve met some Victorians/Melburnians like that.

Could explain some things.

Melbournians are the great inventors of “categories where Melbourne is better than Sydney”. It is their main sport.
