I think geographical knowledge is a meme, to be quite honest.

I'm pretty well-traveled. Since 2013, I've been to about 35 or 40 countries. A lot of people i meet overseas - especially Europeans - like to crack jokes about how Americans aren't good at geography.

I think it's stupid. Unless you also can demonstrate a knowledge of regional history and geopolitics, being able to spot a place on a map and tag its capital doesn't mean a thing. The same goes for knowing the Prime Minister or President.

If you're familiar with the country's history and politics and social movements, then you're informed. Just knowing its name and location is like knowing the name of a bird - you can identify it, but you don't know a thing about its reproductive habits, roosting tendencies, or mechanisms of flight.

You've just got a name.

>>76020769
No because they are countries. I was taught their location in Geography class, the same as the location of the US (not your states). Nobody teaches the states of other countries, only the states of themselves.

Florida, Texas, California, Alaska and Hawaii are probably the only ones everyone knows.

Once it gets down to about South Carolina and as west as West Virginia I stop really caring

>>76020884
the difference is America is huge and power is devolved to those states in a way that's greater than anywhere else. But you already know that and you're just trying to be a pain in the ass.

both comparisons of US states to countries and comparisons of US states to regions of other countries are retarded. German states are mostly a relic of the HRE with far less local power than US states. Germany is a unitary nation-state, the US is a union of many territories which do not have as much in common.

That doesn't make what he said any less stupid though. You could balkanize America into like five separate countries at most. Over half the states are just lines we drew in the ground to divide territory we bought or conquered with no real history or cultural identity outside of being part of the US, not capable of being countries on their own like say Bavaria could be.

>>76021844
Modern German states don't really have a lot to do with the HRE

>>76021903
Towards the end of the HRE the different German states had borders sort of like those today. There's also things like Frankfurt and other cities being their own states, which is a leftover from Imperial free cities.

It means you're isolated as fuck and in most cases have almost zero contact with foreigners and other Americans.

>>76022265
The federal government could technically march in and shut down every dispensiary and lock up everybody who posesses it. Obama's attorney general just chose not to. That policy has continued under Trump and Jeff Sessions because it'd be political suicide to do it. So they're not legally *allowed* to do it under federal law and technically what they did was and is illegal, Uncle Sam just can't be fucked to do anything.

I can unironically 100% those tests and could probably name most subnational regions too because of autism map simulator games. The average American can mostly just name most of Western Europe minus microstates, Russia, and Greece; plus wherever they muh heritage from.

OP here

I think I did pretty well.

>>76022212
It's not geographic size. US has 15 states more important economically (higher GDP) than Norway.

>>76020884
3 states have a higher GDP than Mexico

>>76025572
But they're under the same federal government and follow the same federal laws. There is very little incentive for Europeans to actually learn more in depth about specific states, as general knowledge will get you far enough.

People should know the basics of US geography though, it takes roughly 30 minutes to learn, everybody has that time.
