To be fair, no other democracy is even close to the size of the US. Most countries aren’t spread out enough for an electoral college to make a grain of sense.
And a coastal state with a huge population and no understanding of things people in a landlocked state 700 miles away shouldn’t get to have more of a say in who controls the country. Without the electoral college, pretty much every president would come from one of the same 5 states every time, and the rest of the country would always get placed on the back burner, because “they never win elections”.
Each state should have more of an equal say in who the president is.

B-But… BIG country! BIG people. BIGLY BIG. It just won’t work. /s
Geography has nothing to do with it. If your state has more electoral votes per capita than mine, then my vote doesn’t count as much as yours.

Well, the UK. Although the UK is a constitutional Monarchy and the prime minister isn’t elected by popular vote, but by MPs
The UK? You have less land area than several of our individual states. You’re smaller than Colorado.
