Scene One: Charlie meets Benny
ADAM: Charlie, I'd like you to meet my friend Benny.
BENNY: Hi! Nice to meet you!
CHARLIE: Nice to meet you Benny! So, where are you from?
BENNY: I'm from [my country].
CHARLIE: Hehe, I have no idea where that is. Is it near [other country]?
BENNY: Yeah, that's right! It's right next to [other country]. I live in [my city].
CHARLIE: Is that, like, a big city?
BENNY: I think it's slightly bigger than your home city, population-wise at least.
CHARLIE: You know I'm from LA, right? We've got like 17 million people.
BENNY: Yeah, that's right.
CHARLIE: (laughs) That's crazy. I think there are like two or three cities in the world that are bigger than LA. New York City, and maybe Tokyo, right?
BENNY: Whatever you say. (smiles)
Scene Two: Charlie meets Dave
CHARLIE: Nice to meet you, Dave. Where are you from?
DAVE: I'm from [my city], in [my country].
CHARLIE: Ah, you must know Benny? He's from [Benny's country] too.
DAVE: Hehe, I said [my city], not [Benny's country]. [Benny's country] is a separate country.
CHARLIE: Oh, right. I know Benny has a lot of friends from [your country]. With the same language and everything. I hear them talk all the time with each other, but I don't understand a word. (laughs)
DAVE: Actually, I don't understand those guys either, we speak English with each other. We speak a completely different language in [my city].
CHARLIE: Huh. But they're from [your country] too.
DAVE: Yeah. But [my country]'s pretty big.
Scene Three: Charlie meets Eddie
CHARLIE: Nice to meet you, Eddie! Where are you from?
EDDIE: Well, West Africa originally, but I've lived here for years. We moved here from [my city] with my parents when I was nine.
CHARLIE: [Your city]? I think Benny's from there as well. Do you know him?
EDDIE: (laughs) Sure, I know him. But he's from [Benny's country], right? [My city] is in a completely different part of the globe.
CHARLIE: I'm pretty sure I heard him say [your city].
EDDIE: That's weird. Why would he say that?
CHARLIE: No idea. Maybe I'm just confused. (shrugs)
Can you guess Benny, Dave and Eddie's home cities?

Let me try:
Benny:
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Big city, population: 8,063,000 vs LA: 3,976,322
Many people speak English here
Dave:
Bangalor, India
Bangalor sounds a bit like Bangladesh
India is a huge country with many languages. Bengali is spoken only in a small part. So here too they speak a lot of English with each other.
Eddie:
Dakar, Senegal
Dakar sound a bit like Dhaka. And it is located in West Africa.
Dakar and Dhaka are 11.000km apart from each other.

The question has already been answered, but I'd just like to suggest that maybe, by "LA", Charlie wasn't referring to
Los Angeles (as I have initially assumed),
but to
LAgos, Nigeria which has a population of around 17 million
...which would make Charlie just slightly less uneducated :-)

The question has already been answered, but I'd just like to suggest that maybe, by "LA", Charlie wasn't referring to
Los Angeles (as I have initially assumed),
but to
LAgos, Nigeria which has a population of around 17 million
...which would make Charlie just slightly less uneducated :-)
