So the long standing, mostly unfounded opinion that Canadians and much of the world have about Americans is that they suck at world geography
I say mostly unfounded because really the only things we have to go on are videos like this one:

she personally believes that ...you as americans...don't have maps.
and ...well...statistics, but...who cares about those, right? it's calculus' lame little sister anyways.
so i stole this amazing quiz site from NAC, he posted it in the AC
there are some damn smart, well-informed people who I've spoken to in this forum, most of whom happen to be Americans.
let's see how many of you can locate countries on a map.

you can access all of them from the drop down menu on there
you can even go so far as to do country capitals, and break down the countries into their provinces and states
but those are fucking difficult as hell.
so do some of the world ones and post your scores.
they're fun
and i learned a lot from them
i basically spent my saturday night plotting out world geography like a total dorkotron.
edit: otaku suppository has either cheated or is the king of geography
so he gets my crown

When I was in second grade, I moved to a new school and their second grade class had already had to memorize the state capitals and so I never got to properly learn them.
i totally failed at the europe one
naw man, i was totally joking, let's just talk about dicks instead of something totally worthwhile
:rotate:
fuck me, i did too
like really really badly
embarrassingly so
it's the small cluster of countries near greece that fuck me right over.
there's just so many of them!
i mixed up slovakia and czech republic and then andorra and san marino
microstates can s my d
no, i just thought you framing this thread under "testing the theory of american ignorance" was absurd
edit: 31/39 for the South America one
yeah
it's like 'the former republic of macedonia' and i'm like 'this is like a shattered pane of glass here, damn'
it was just a funny catch to open up the thread
D&D called, they miss you, better get on back over there.
Kept misclicking the areas instead of the dots but I'm pleased.
Let's see how I do on the Europe quiz.
you fuckin' know it!
i'm the best bitch up ins
'cept for bel
and mully...
...and viv...
...and sara.
dammit, fuck you bitches
other than them, i'm the best
oh wait..jordyn
..usagi
leli
i just clicked all over the place till i got one right.
besides, we already have "talking to americans"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhTZ_tgMUdo
i also did way better on south america
i did okay on south american capitals too
central asia is gay as hell
fff
Seriously where the fuck is Kalinigrad?
A dancing demon!
that little enclave between poland and lithuania
jesus christ you didnt know that?
Then when you get into the baltic states it gets tricky. I was still under the impression serbia and montenegro were one state. Only gained independence 3 years ago.
That shit changes far too often. They need some long lasting countries like the rest of us.
first you want to be serious, then you want to be silly
make up your mind
me
toto would not be proud
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPT_3PEjnsE
basically the only ones i knew were congo, democratic republic of congo, egypt, nigeria, niger, ivory coast, ghana kenya and madagascar... oh and south africa obviously
the rest i was like...clicking and guessing.
i'm a blend
like that cream
you guys are just expected to know
it kills humble, he hates it, but hey, that's what you get for dating an awesome person.
fuck you, monacco and andorra
funny thing is i would have done waaaay better while i was in high school
3 and a half years of electrical engineering knocked all this trivia out of my head
those are two that i got
i got like 132 or something on it.
i'd redo them, but i already have the advantage of having done them last night
i should have screen-capped
or i'll just cheat and redo them and get perfect scores and you'll all be "oh beav you are a genius"
and i'll be like "yeah it's nothing"
are you being serious? I genuinely didnt even know it existed at all. Im like 'man what?' and started clicking random baltic countries.
how do people know about kalinigrad?
how do people know kalinigrad and not andorra, the most smallest and adorablest country ever
