West Germany, East Germany

Geography is hard because the world is big. I can't name all 50 US states. There are some tiny pointless ones in the east, and big irrelevant ones in the middle. The same reasons apply for Europe.

I can name all the European capitals and show almost any country on the map
Except Africa

Hi

Wyoming, a 253600km2 uniform rectangle in the middle of nowhere, has a population of 585k.
San Francisco, a 121km2 homosexual containment zone in California, packs 870k into its cramped butthole.

Here in the cramped butthole, I have no reasons to remember the existence of the entire state of Wyoming. This also causes some big political problems.

US is a big ass country, about the size of China most people here probably wouldn't be able to list all 50 states offhand hell they probably wouldn't even know the capitals of most of them.

Also, who the fuck cares about geography or knowing what Slovenia is? It would be like for Yuros to know where South Dakota is located.

Because it's a stereotype.
I bet most Americans still know more about European countries than us Euros do about their states.

+a lot of people are just stupid, that's the case everywhere.

I used to think it was a stereotype until I asked my american steam friends to fill in blank maps. It was a complete disaster and they weren't even poorly educated people or anything.
>>
>>78150894
Yes, because we only have 2 neighboring countries and the rest of the nations on our continent are far boon our neighbors' borders. Or they're shitty island in the Caribbean.

>>
>>78150250
why are you asking this in a place where most of the Americans are autists who know every single European country down to the province from playing Paradox grand strategy games? I don't know, normies are fucking retards.
>>
>>78158894
We have this daily show where "KlausimÄ—lis" (A question) here, and basically all of it is people saying retarded shit like "Latvia has a border with India". Sadly, I couldn't find a video with English subtitles.
>>
Americans are bad a geography because our population is largely ignorant about things which don't pertain to their immediate life.
>>
>>78159239
>why are you asking this in a place where most of the Americans are autists who know every single European country down to the province from playing Paradox grand strategy games?
I know every single European cunt easily but still don't know the names of every capital, which makes that smug slut in high school still ahead of me. Every single province? Hell no.
>>
>>78159490
I was exaggerating
I do know every region of France, Germany, Poland, and Italy though
>>
It's not like Americans have any reason to know geography. You can bet none of them are going to be impacted by that lack of knowledge outside of random conversations with foreigners who might ask them to guess where their country is on the map.
>>
>>78160063
no, as much as I like to play US internet defense force there's no excuse for it. We're the dominant world power and whatever government we the people elect has a huge impact on the world. When the government is sending troops to or bombing places that 80% of people can't point to on a map there is a serious problem.

I'm not.

But the average American has little practical need to know much about the world beyond the basic regions.

There's a difference between intelligence and russiaboos.

It's not just americans, normies in general are fucking horrible at geography from my experience. I asked a girl from uni once if she knew where germany was while holding a map and she pointed to fucking sweden. It's embarrassing.

To be fair, most countries in Europe have almost a millenium of culture-building and differentiation AFTER having been part of other empires and assorted civilisations. Each of them is fairly unique and has contributed to history at some point.

US states have a quarter that age, none have anything to differ them from their neighbours, and at most have 4 or 5 regions of actual, meaningful difference.

This is the reason nobody here cares about the states and the reason nobody there knows anything beyond the iron curtain, since the borders and people from beyond there have been very volatile and have shared some history as part of a big country (PLC, USSR, Yugoslavia, etc).

Not to mention that both have small, rather irrelevant countries/states that nobody would care to learn because of the small odds of ever meeting someone from there or hearing news about it.
