AJ Sadauskas<p>Something I'm curious about: How familiar are you with the states or provinces in other countries?<br><br>Most non-Americans could at the very least name many of the states in the USA.<br><br>But what about other countries? How many people know some or all of the states or provinces in countries other than their own?<br><br>For example, could you name the provinces or states of Canada? Mexico? Australia? Russia? Germany? France? Brazil?<br><br>And conversely, the stereotype of Americans is that they don't have a deep awareness of the world beyond their borders.<br><br>But is that really true? Or do many Americans have a better knowledge of other countries, including states and provinces, than the rest of the world realises?<br><br>(Before you at me, yes I know not all Americans. But just search American geography quiz if you don't believe it's a stereotype!)<br><br>Also, in many of my posts, I refer to Australian states. I presume that most of the people reading them overseas understand that when I mention Victoria, or New South Wales, for eg., I'm talking about Australian states. Just want to check that's the case?<br><br>So, if you're reading this, I'm keen to learn:<br><br>1) Which country are you from?<br><br>2) Which countries, other than your own, could you name all or most of the states or provinces in without looking at a map?<br><br>3) Which countries, other than your own, could you name at least some of the states or provinces without looking at a map?<br><br><a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/askfediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFediverse</span></a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/geography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geography</span></a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a></p>
