Honestly, as a European I dare say most Europeans couldn’t name all 50 states, and definitely not place them on a map.
I’m confident I could correctly place Texas, Florida, probably California and maybe Kentucky if the borders were drawn.
Naming more than one or two state capitals? Forget it!
Edit: quite sure about Alaska and Hawaii too, but I forgot those (see!).
Yeah, but the average us-american couldn't even begin to name the départements of France for example. Or anything on the scale of NUTS1 in Europe or Brazil or China.
The individual states are better compared to medium/small European countries than to districts of most countries in terms of size, population, economy and political independence.
Not being able to place Boise is is more like not being able to place Skopje than Nantes. (And yes, I had to look two of those up)
California maybe, Nebraska not. Catalunya is more significant than over half of the states. As is northrhine-westfalia.
Why Kentucky?
as a european its the KFC plate the chef with the big chef hat is holding
That's hilarious and I appreciate the answer.
Exactly this.
