Did I beat any Americans?

Honestly, the game screws you over with Kansas and Arkansas. In the middle of the map...

Still, Did I beat any 'merkins?

I was lucky and didn't get them till late on my first try.
By the second try I had remembered them, but the first threw me off a little.

Yep, y'all beat at least one 'merican. 80% 80 mile avg error. Guess that's why they gave me a map with my truck:rotfl:

Edit. That ain't fair, I got the middle states right off the bat

My knowledge came from looking election results at CNN website and playing a strategy game about American civil war.
I tought the East coast was easy.

My knowledge came from...errrr....dammed if I know!
I could only place 6 or 7 counties in the UK...

*edit* Can only name 10 with he correct location, but I bet there isn't an American who can beat me.

Let's see, I can identify Cornwall (southwest penninsula) where my family's oldest known ancestor is buried), West and East sussex in the southeast region there. London is north of those upon the Thames and Kent lies southeast of that. Essex, Soufolk and Norfolk lie north of Kent in that order upon the coast of the North Sea. Cambridgeshire is North of London and is home to the Imperial War museum at Duxford, I believe that it is the region directly west of Norfolk and Suffolk there.
Hmm.... other than that I only know the location of Northumberland for sure, and it is on Scotland's southeastern border there.
I don't know any Welsh counties other than Cardiff, and that it is located somehwere around the mouth of that river/gulf thing. I think it is called the Severen or something.
Scotland appears to be fused into one entity on this map, but I could easily locate Abedeen, Glasgow, the Isle of Skye, and Edinburgh (which I believe is in the county of Midlothian)
and the City of Elgin, northwest of Aberdeen, where I spent a few weeks with a nice Scottish girl and her family, although I have no idea what county it is in.

That gives me ten definites and a handful of maybes and almosts. Who says video games can't teach you geography? Thank you, "Battle of Britain".


I remember visiting Somerset, but I can't place it for the life of me. I think it's somewhere in the southwestern region, with a coast. And I think that there is a Dorset or Dorsetshire or something in the middlish area, but I have no idea where.

I have a disadvantage living in the biggest county. I have no neighbors to remember for miles around.
