America by a European
-
Europeans invaded all of them. They know. (Source : am French)
I'm Danish and I can't place every single African country. I can recognize many on their flags, but I don't know where all African countries are.

i just kinda assumed it looks a bit like austria and they’re making a joke
Austria is shaped nothing like Maine. Austria has a narrow bit that sticks out (Tyrol + Vorarlberg), no equivalent to that in Maine.

but I don't know where all African countries are.
I know they're in Africa, at least. Boom, chalk one up for the Americans.
I also know where Mauritius is and how to say it, because I met a guy from there and he said it and I was like I've never heard of this place, and the he spelled it, and I added it to the list of words that I'd only ever read and not heard, and this pronounced incorrectly, like epitome and ethereal.

Fuck it. Americans and Europeans should try and place Afrcian countries.
Hah! Try Americans trying to label Europe. They'll get Britain. Maybe France & Spain; Germany.
It starts falling apart with Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands - most can probably identify the latter three generally, but not identify which area is which. I'd bet swapping Sweden and Norway would be common.
Good luck with Luxembourg & Belgium, or any of the rest.
You're right about Africa, and anywhere in the Baltics. Russia, maybe? But despite pursuing a war for 20 years in the Middle East, I'll bet most (who hadn't served) couldn't place Afghanistan or Iraq.
I'd give good odds for China and India, but they dominate their regions. Australia and Japan, because they stick out, but labeling and southern Asia countries - Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand - no.
Shit. Many Americans can't even label all of the States correctly. I admit I'm likely to make mistakes, too; I'd do better with Europe, because of vacations. I'll bet I'd do terribly on a state capital quiz. It doesn't help that most state capitals aren't the biggest, most recognized cities. After High School, we don't have much call to locate most states on the map, outside of swing states, which get a refresher every 4 years.

This was a well informed European in reality we only know Texas, California, Alaska and Florida. Some would add Utah because everyone is feared about these guys with a strange bible, called Mongos or something.
Mormons?

Pennsylvania is very angry you called them New Jersey lmfao. I'm glad we got more farm land though. Make the biggest garden state woooooo
Then the town of Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania better change its name.

No no. We can make a deal with them. I'm not sure what deal we'll make, but we'll make one with them!Maybe we'll bring them some of the actual shore, and in exchange we send them the bad shoobies?

I have an flag quiz app on my phone that is really good at teaching you to not only know the flags of the world, but also their geography. I recommend having something like that for anyone who wants to improve the basics of their world geography. Honestly, I'd recommend it to everybody because it is a fun way to learn something that may or may not be useful in the future.
I'm not great at geography myself so it was a way for me to work on a weak spot and having fun doing it.
Only thing my flag app doesn't really cover is states in America and Germany etc. so I don't have a lot of practice in those. I can sorta place the states of Germany but the United States is still kinda abstract to me. -

It’s like they thought it would be funny to make all the lines straight but couldn’t fully commit to the bit.

Equatorial Guinea is the one on the equator, right?

They’re all the same anyway…
The states should all be named after the thing they have the largest in the world of - e.g. ball of yarn, telephone, dinosaur golf, sphere, etc…

Mormons?
Nah, they are from game of thrones.
