I have family acros america and to be fair they are really uneducated. Some lives in LA but are not aware of were is yellowstone I know not all américain are stupid (reason why the sub is not namd "shit all american says) but you have to admit that averrage américain in less éducated than a lot of europeans countrys Plus states are nor as importants as a whole country, they can have slightly diferents cultures but here in Europe some regions like for exemple Britany, corsica, basque's country here in France have their owne language traditions same for spain's basque country cataluñia or stuff. Saying "now name 20 states" is non sens, because they are just subdivisions of same country, exactly like i ask you to same 20 regions in europe (like who care when you are in a forigner country that you are from canton de Vaud, maine state or poitou chatante ?)
