No they don't. I lived in eight countries in Europe and Africa and never heard of anything remotely like the pledge. It's a weird American invention that most other cultures find bizarre at best.

Because most other cultures have a sense of heritage and collective history.
American culture has become mostly politics and identity politics because there isn't a particular American identity. That's why America is so bullish on these thin expressions of national identity. It comes from insecurity.

My grandchildren go to public school in VA. They recite it every day.
