  USA unlike any other first world (or even second world) country doesn't have national ID.
England, and I believe the whole of the UK, hasn't had a national ID card since 2011, two years after they were introduced in an opt-in basis. Mostly it's commonwealth countries that don't have ID cards (Australia, Bahamas, Canada, New Zealand). However, Japan's in the kinda but not really category.
