the only reason i got most of the white ones is because of the invalid guesses on other things that gave me the answer. i think i knew about 15 off the drop
rhode island doesnt even look like an island. also how is virginia partially west of west virginia, and why is it not called east virginia?

latin america and africa are the continents/regions i really struggle with recalling the names, although with this particular quiz format i would probably do better.
Being australian, I confuse cities for states in the U.S all the time. For the longest time I thought Arizona was part of Texas and Colorado was part of Utah. Alos New orleans was its own state and New Jersey was part of New york.
i thought new england was a state for most of my life. turns out it's just the state where boston is that i cant spell and some other shit around it that probably doesnt matter.

My only mess up was hitting San Marino's location when it asked for Monaco.
I'll also admit I often forget which Baltic state is Latvia and which is Lithuania, so there was a 50/50 shot I'd have gotten it wrong the first time they asked me to locate one of them but I didn't so hey.
UK, but I've done similar quizzes a few times. I probably know US geography better than the UK.
Basically New England is the six north eastern states that were the original English colonies, iirc. So Dutch and French colonies aren't included in it.
The state Boston is in is Massachusetts.

I was worried about the Baltics, but instead mixed up North Macedonia and Kosovo :(
Rhode Island isn't an island, and all of West Virginia and Virginia used to be one state until the Civil War, where West Virginia splintered off to join the Union while Virginia joined the Confederacy.the only reason i got most of the white ones is because of the invalid guesses on other things that gave me the answer. i think i knew about 15 off the drop

These are what get me. I'm also American. The rest are pretty easy.
My record for this on sporcle as a non-american is all 50 correct in 2:52. Definitely followed enough US elections to know them all by now lol.
96%
Also got Vermont and NH mixed up. And got Connecticut and Mass flipped. I'm a bit shaky on the small cluster of states between Maine and NY. Otherwise the rest was butter. Not bad for a West Coast boy.
A bit surprised at all the low scores I'm seeing honestly, especially since ERA tends to attract relatively smart / informed people.. But I guess being into geography and politics has probably helped me. Also for example anytime I read a news story that there was a bridge collapse in Tennessee, then I'm usually looking up the city / state on the map, so I can visualize where that happened.

Aquidneck Island - Wikipedia
TL:DR Rhode Island was that island during the making of this country. Then people do what they always do.
51% in 5:45. Yeah, not the greatest at Europe.

Why didn't you tell me ten minutes ago?
Any tips for remembering CT and Mass?
The fuck do I know about Montpelier. I don't even know anything about Burlington.
Connecticut is where the actual rich New Yorkers live.
Massachusetts is above CT and RI
Concord, New Hampshire just a quick jaunt to Montpelier which is up in Vermont.
I'll take it.
Massachusetts has the tail and Connecticut is right next to it.
A bit rocky on the Rockies.
Not American, but have been a few times. Okay on the states I've been to, and very rocky on the middle bits.
Regrettably, it's more the Chef Column area I have trouble with, otherwise the pun would be perfect!
100% 2:26, am a New Englander, but still wavered over Vermont and New Hampshire.
It was settled by people exiled by Masshole Puritans.

Are you a geography teacher?I am not American so don't ask me how i know the US states so well, aced all 50 in like 2 minutes.
I got 100% in 2 minutes, but I'm from the states and have been to most of them. Hell, I've seen Phish in half of them.
