          Basically no Europeans would put Austria as a US state. It's fake.

            Hah! Wyoming has moved from the middle of the Western states to the Mid-West. I think they get partial credit for that one.

                    If you read from left to right this map starts off pretty accurate and gets progressively more unhinged

                            I remember once in school (in central Europe) we got a geography test where we had to label countries on a map.

                            To prevent copying from the neighbor, half the class got a map of Asia, the other half of Africa.

                            I don't remember the details but certainly remember wondering why anyone would think these are equally difficult. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™„

                              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.

                                Austria is shaped nothing like Maine. Austria has a narrow bit that sticks out (Tyrol + Vorarlberg), no equivalent to that in Maine.

                                  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.

                                    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.

                                          ๐Ÿ˜ฎ 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?
