Transylvania + Borat killed me. To be fair I have a hard time with the eastern countries and I've lived in Europe all my life.

Well if I'd have to name all 50 states of america it would be worse than this... (I'm from europe ) and nobody got time for usa in school

In our defense how many Europeans can name all the states in the US or countries in South America

This is why maps are a thing! I wouldn't ask my euro pals to list all 50 states the capitals and a few territories. Maps Google and use them

well, I learned where Yugoslavia was in school. Now it's like five different little countries that seem to be bickering constantly.

The US is about 3x as big as Europe. Let's see how many states the Europeans can name.

sigh, you may be talking about North America not the US. US is like 3.8M and europe is like 3.9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZdXLSObLBo

Can you name all 50 states and our territories? Closed book test. ... Ok see why maps are a thing?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Absolutely not. I think I'm able to find Alaska, Texas, new York, California, Oregon, perhaps Utah.

As an American, I know for a fact half my countrymen couldn't name correctly all the states, or even KNOW all the states, so asking them 1/2

2/2 to name all the countries of Europe is a tall task...

Honestly, everything south of Slovakia tends to be hit or miss for many europeans as well

For kicks and grins I did a state placement test on my coworkers, highest score was 46/50, lowest gave up after missing 8 of the first 14...

Where I'm from (which isn't the US) we had to memorize all countries+state/provinces and capitals. From what I've heard US don't curr much.

It was the same for me when I was in school (US). However not much of it stuck since I never hear about 99% of the places,use it or lose it.

Ill do it if you can name the counties/admin areas within any US state first.

see, that's just as silly. you're elevating a state to country status. why would anyone need to know where a state is to name a country?

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 4

Because comparing US states to EU countries is not so terrible a stretch.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

yeah it is. states are just some internal division of your country, like cantons in switzerland or counties in the uk.
