My husband always says that all he knew of North America as a continent was that it was made up of 50 states. Hahaha so cute. It's funny to hear him tell world history or do geography it's like he is from another planet.
Also I have to admit that even though I am a flight attendant and have been to many of these states I still couldn't tell you most of them. I can however tell you which ones have the best airport food!! Also stay away from o'hare....why is that airport so ridiculously big? I feel like it should have it's own electoral seat!
Maybe my FFFC should be that I agree with this entire map. My geography knowledge extends to Florida (where I live) and California as the big spoon and Nevada as the little spoon. And it's true, everyone does know Texas.
I will be the first to admit that this Canadian girl knows very little about US geography but I am pretty sure when I drove from Alberta to Ontario going through the US that we went through the Dakotas which were right under Saskatchewan because we went nowhere near Texas.

Don't feel bad I'm sure there are some American ladies that couldn't name all our provinces and territories! And we only have 13!
1. Canadian Idaho/ British Columbia 2. Canadian Lousiana/Vancouver 3. Siberia 4. Nevada. Definitely Nevada. 5. Box 6. Quebec? 7. Sneeze splat 8. Toronto 9. Ontario 10-13. Rich people backyards. To small to be a real province.

Side story: I work at a University, and part of my responsibilities were to sign off on education abroad trips. Our education abroad office switched their website from an alphabetical list of the nations we send students to, to a world map that is UNLABELED. My student was going to Ireland and I couldn't find it. She had to show me where to click. Totally embarrassing. I am the reason the rest of the world hates Mericans.
Nunavut is our newest territory!!! It was created in my lifetime so not many people know about it. But you ladies are good!! I tried my hand at the us map and l lets just say I was writing Delaware for like three different states.
Eta also I clearly only know states with football teams!!

W vagina( labia) 48. Maryland 49. Alaska 50. Hawaii!!!
Is Delaware that well known that it's the go-to "other" state? You did better than I could!
I think it's just that everyone knows of Delaware but not where it is so it's a put anywhere state. Side question what is the capital of Delaware?
Also you guys aren't actually expected to know all 50 states are you? I literally couldn't think of anymore. Ahhhh Illinois!! Shit ummmm that's somewhere near Michigan!

Also I am sort of a geography nerd, I know all the states and all the state capitols.
Dover is the capital of Delaware. In my elementary school, we were expected to learn all the states and their capitals, and eventually where they were on the map. In chorus, we had to learn this song:
Also there is no fucking way I could do the capitals of the states. You choose silly capital cities....for instance of all the cities in California you choose Sacramento? And where is Albany? Most famous city in the world and you choose Albany? Only one that make sense is Indianapolis...go colts!
There's a Canada song too!
Newfoundland and PEI,
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Quebec, Ontario from there you'll see Manitoba Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC
Edited
Did you just make that up, I was never taught that song and I am an Educational Assistant and we have never song it in class either.
so yah...i suck at geography...i'm not even gonna attempt the canadian one seeing as how i got half the US ones wrong. My US map looks more like the OP map than it should!
This is hilarious. I'm sad that no one could name my province. I don't exist. Boooo
Hey @laxminavkar this is off topic but the thread made me think of it. I have a friend who's H is Australian (she's a flight attendant too, weeeird) Anyhow, they were telling me how in Australia people say "the C word" all the time like it's no big deal. Does your H? I'm just curious and find it funny. There's actually a song called "You can't say cunt in Canada." Have you heard it? It's hilarious, YouTube it!
Re: Lax and your Australian husband
I like 'almost Mexico' lol

It starts off:
The provinces of Canada are fun to remember
Fun to remember
Fun to remember
The provinces of Canada are fun to remember
Fun to remember
So sing them with me
And then you list the provinces....
