Nobody knows where anything is...
There was another thread where London was positioned in Norfolk by Americans. In the interests of fairness and trans-Atlantic good will...

That was kinda funny.
 Not many can keep up with geography considering how fast some countries change hands. The fifty states of America is a different matter. They've been constant for over two-hundred years. Well, at least since the last territory voted for statehood. It should get easier after everything becomes The United States of Earth.   Quote:

Though in all fairness it's one thing to know about countries an one thing to know about where states in certain countries are, or how many here (Germans excluded) know how many states Germany has and where they are located?

I see ICBMs but no Area 51, this map is not up to date as Area 51 is now recognised that it dose exist.

Lol, # 2 is awesome.
So, at the next Subsim Convention we will have a geography faceoff contest, between the Americans and the Europeans... we'll settle this for once and all.

It is really surprising how many Americans don't know much about their next door neighbour. I am not talking about Mexico here.

This story is from the end of the 80'ies. Our Swedish king and the Queen was on a official visit to USA. One of the Swedish reporter toke a tour in a little town outside Washington(if I do remember it correctly)
He came to one of these famous road restaurant and there he asked people if they knew something about Sweden. It was this guy who tried to make everyone else quiet 'cause he surely knew a lot of Sweden and where this country could be found on the map. Sweden was...one of the small island north of Japan, according to this person. I guess many Swedish people got a good laugh when they heard and saw this on the news. Markus |
