I thought it might be simpler to enumerate the cultures which do NOT claim to have discovered America, because they're probably in a minority, among history's pathological exaggerators.
And among those, could we classify them according to whether they were not advanved or motivated enough, just being honest (e.g. Poland), not throwing their hat in the ring for the sake of it, or not telling geography-defying tales (Kazakhstan).
Also, do we need a Cultural Superiority Award for cultures which claim to have discovered America and not thought enough of it to bother hyping it to the folks back home?
[Disclaimer: I obviously mean non-native cultures]
