It has definitely been a while since I've studied geography, but we tried our best! 😅 Hope you enjoyed the video! ❤ -Christina 🇺🇸
I would've had google maps hidden in my pocket while taking hidden side-eyed peeks at my phone in my pocket haha Europe geography tends to blend together to us Americans, especially since most countries are smaller and named very similarly compared to what we're used to. I was really shocked I got a majority of them right as well.
Done well 👍 putting England over Scotland and Wales
I guess travelling abroad helps a bit in making you pay more attention to maps :) They say about 60% of Americans don't even own a passport, which is shocking compared to people from other countries.
@@geosophik9369 When you think about it, most Americans won't even visit all 50 states in their lifetime, which is why some Americans can't even name all 50 states of the country they're from. The US (from a geographic standpoint) has a little bit of everything from the rest of the world. The reason why people would travel abroad is to experience a different culture with a different group of people (and even then, one end of the US to the other will also have you feel that.)
This was a very amusing video. Loved it!
"I hope the Maltese feel represented."
Me being Maltese smiling happily that my country was mentioned. Also it is right under Sicily!
but its not on this map
@@ajxuereb Yeah sadly
Ara Malti iehor
US citizens : Sicily is it a country ?
🤣🤣🤣
@@destineos8038 so funny
They've beaten the stereotypes of being 'American is dumb at geography.'
They did pretty well, congrats for both of you 👏
That's because they have some experience living abroad. About 60% of Americans don't even own a passport.
I labelled a map of Europe too and I'm American. It's a fun video.
@B Babbich I guess because Russia, Canada and China are even bigger than the US. Australia and Brazil are HUGE too.
@B Babbich To be offended by arguments and start insulting others, this is a big issue typical of Americans, or people who grew up in the US. You don't change anything in me by insulting me. I've travelled the world and know many things. You live with your idea, I will live with mine. Peace.
@B Babbich I hope you saw that poly youtuber who asked americans in omegel countryother than in america and the dude literally said "NYC." Poly dude - "Thats a state in US and its in america." Random dude "Oh, so, mexico?" Poly dude - "no thats in America still." Random dude "No theyre not, theyre from south america." Poly dude. "Its still in america which is the whole america." and the random dude rage quitted then next is when he asked capital cities and the american girl said "Istanbul in turkey." Poly dude "No its not a capital city." Girl "Yes it is, back then its whatever that city and back to istanbul." after that, the comment section is full of people baffled by her, istanbul is still a commercial city and anarka is the capital
As a Brit, I would not have given them a pass for just writing England on the island of Great Britain 😂 I'm sure any Scottish or Welsh folk watching this would've been loosing their minds watching this. UK or GB would've been fine but great job at getting a good chunk of this right 💪🏻
Oh trying to teach people that the UK is made up of multiple countries is surprisingly difficult haha
Yes I agree with you as a Welsh person either put it them Eng for short,Wales,Scott for short or U.K. or GB would of been fine but I wouldn’t give that as a correct answer. Also it would of been easier to see name if they were printed out instead of wrote on by markers. Also didn’t include Gibraltar.
@@NicholasJH96 As an English person it annoys me too, because there's more to these isles than just "England". It's almost the same as calling the whole of the former USSR "Russia".
The British isles are so complicated
London Bridge, London.
This is probably the first video of this kind where they correctly label the Czech Republic, thank you Christina & Haley! Also that little heart attack from Elena at 4:20 was funny as hell :D
Hey, I knew where the Czech Republic was in my video. You can see for yourself.
Czech republic is easy if you remember ww2. The first thing Hitler did was to take some parts of Czechoslovakia before he invaded Polen. So if you know where Germany is you also know where Czechia, Slovakia and Polen are
@@reineh3477 But based on that they could also have found Austria... and they didn't. They placed it somwhere in the Balkans (which could habe been right over a hundred years ago😂)
but then they forgot slovakia...
I had to pause and laugh at Ellena's reaction, especially because Ellena is German and Soly is French and out of the whole continent, it's those two countries representing the EU *together* hahaha!
Balkans, the forgotten Bermuda triangle of Europe xD
true lol, at least we know each other well xD
Ikr, i was so sad that no one even mentioned us :( xD
@@nniinnaa-qt5ee Looks like they wrote Albania on Latvia actually, but not sure
As a Romanian seeing Romania written in as Hungary I find that actually funny and ironic.
Oh boy... 😂
Maybe they thought that this is an historical quiz. Because the all territory of modern Romania often was ruled by Hungary. 🧐 😄
@@texcolo5748 not all , just the best part of it
@@texcolo5748 that is why Slovakia dont exist
lets be real: even not from the US (west european here) east europe is kinda hard to get everything right.
I kind of expected the Balkans to be empty but it's still hilarious how Bulgaria(a pretty big country compared to others) was just a white sad blank space.. at least Romania had a name filled in it although obviously the wrong one xD
are you romanian?
@@nataliamotoc468 no Bulgarian :)
If you go to Transylvania some people will tell you it's the right name xD
I've never met such people there@@fabian-mihaistefan5369
Malta is a small island in the Mediterranean area and it locates in the south part of Italy. Also, it's an EU country 🇲🇹
The mixing of Switzerland and Sweden made me go "here we go again!" I don't know how many times Sweden has been called Switzerland 😂 but they actually got Sweden right so yay! 👏
Yeah, but they mixed up Denmark and the Netherlands. Also very typical.
Somewhere Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg are smiling
One time I told an Australian girl I am Swiss and she answered "oh you are from Sweden!" 🤣🤣🤣
It's like Austria and Australia, Slovakia and Slovenia... The same story...
That isn’t so bad. They just mistook some countries in the Balkans, but apparently, also a lot of Italians (I am from Italy), aren’t able to distinguish that part of Europe
I think most europeans dont know the balkans!! I know I've had to learn them, but like I don't know them anymore
💧
@@iemand2612 You're saying that a lot of Europeans have never heard of Greece Serbia Croatia Slovenia...
@@Ognjen20. noo!! I’m saying most Europeans know where the general area of where they are located, but not the exact. Everyone knows Greece though
@@iemand2612 Old people are confused because Balkan or Eastern states are changed after the fall of the Wall of Berlin. When they studied geography there were Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, USSR.
How about Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, north Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina etc.....hmmm
Also Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Moldovia, San Marino.
I think the biggest ones they left out were Bulgaria and Turkey.
And Scotland and Wales.
And Latvia
I’m so proud of you, you didn’t forgot Luxembourg 🇱🇺
Thank you from Luxembourg 🙌🏾❤️🤍💙
Hello, twin brother ! 🇧🇪
I'm so proud of you, because you knew where Finland was, and I live in there!
I was proud if them to. I usually screw up where Sweden, Norway, and Finland is. I know they are the 3 countries up in Northern Europe.
Czech Republic congrats you, that you put us right on a map, I'm impressed :))
I know it's understandable, but it was a really funny shock to see they labeled the Balearic islands as Malta (5:04). Balearic are part of Spain (and Ibiza is one of those islands). Malta is under Sicily (under Italy) and it's not shown on that map (it's a very little archipelago). It's an independent country.
As European, I think that's a good job! My standard for US people was the same as Ellena, watching those CZcams videos 😅 Cheers from Spain!
They did very well. Kudos. I would have had a tough time with the eastern European countries. I agree that the CZcams geography videos portray Americans as ignorant and uninformed. But if you are going to ask random people visiting Las Vegas academic questions, it will probably not be representative of America's best and brightest.
I did one of these videos too and did pretty well. Happy to prove stereotypes wrong.
What about where they went on a college campus and still couldn't answer
But ‘America’s best and brightest’ is in fact not representative. That is selected a specific segment of the population. Randomly surveying lay people in the street is representative, you shouldn’t need to seek out the academically gifted to be able to identify your own country on a map, or to know the difference between continents and countries, as is so often seen in those lol American videos
@@stinkygremlin267 it's called lying to get onto the internet. I screwed with a German doing this. I purposely named countries wrong. I cant believe you seriously think this stuff is 100% true and unedited.
@@jessicaely2521 it's not. I've seen it with my own 2 eyes. I've also seen Americans confirming this
"You didn't put Albanian in there" 😂
As an Albanian I expected them not to know
@Miles Bennett Dyson yes but I expected them not to now bc a lot of people don't know it
They didn't though. They put it in the Baltic hahah.
Great work guys congratulations 👍👍👍
Thank you for not forgetting Austria - even though it was misplaced at the end XD Remember, we are the cozy little south neighbor of Germany that was very big at some point in the past together with "hungry" (still laughing about the hungry Hungarians, sorry fellow east neighbors).
Slovakia will be always forgotten
I love how they never know to label Balkan 😂 but you did a great job
It would be the same for me even though I'm european. But when I was in school it used to be Yugoslavia so I never had to learn them. I could name most of the countries but only pinpoint Croatia on a map, since I was there on holiday in the late 80s.
it's probably because borders and countries names changed at least 10 times in Balkans during their lifetime...
They got almost all of the Nordic countries correctly! I am glad!😊
ik this was 5mo ago but i only recently found this channel, anyway i am too!
Proud Maltese watching. Happy to be mentioned! 🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹
In a fit of coincidence, I took a map of Europe labeling quiz about an hour ago on Seterra. I swapped Croatia with Bosnia, so I had a total score of 96% at the end. Not too bad for this 'Murrican ;-)
croatia looks like a crocodiles mouth, as they both start with cro thats how i remember them!
Seterra is so fun
@@coenvo That's a great mnemonic device! I'll use that going forward too.
Crotia is a little bit like a horseshoe.
It's easy to swap Croatia with Bosnia, if they weren't separate countries when you grew up.
Once there was a city in Yugoslavia named Split. Now the whole country is split!
Countries that wasn't even mentioned: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovakia, Northern Macedonia, Romania, Lativa, Liechtenstein, Kosovo, Bulgaria... But, hey, I would have a similar problem naming US states, not American countries though (meaning both North and South America, plus, not as well, but I could also name a few countries from Central America including the islands), I studied them a lot, but, from the US, I could name just a few... 'Cause I used to study it just as a country, which it is, but just as it happens it has a lot of states in it.
It was a nice and entertaining video! Best regards from Barcelona!
I'm Spanish as well and we studied it as a country because it is. I know they are large, but Canada, Brasil, etc. also have large regions (or whatever the name of the polical division).
Taking in consideration how poor my education was when it comes to Oceania, Central Asia and, to a degree, Africa, imagine studying the US states as well...
@@cantacarallada I know it would have been tough. Just like learning all the Catalan counties and capitals for instance. And there's some easy ones like: Barcelonès, Barcelona; Gironès, Girona, Tarragonès, Tarragona... but there's some other really tough ones as well...
KOSOVO IS SERBIA 🇷🇸
The US is very easy.
You can easily get 50% correct.
Even though the US is a country with 50 states while Europe is a continent with 51 countries who each also have their own provinces/states…..

I live in Russia, and I was very pleased that Haley and Christina know where to find our country on the map !!
Well is the biggest country
well it's pretty hard to miss it hahah
I was shocked when i heard the name of my country, Uzbekistan, from them.
@@kudratbektokhirov5204 I'm bewildered as well. A -stan country in Europe?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was very surprised.... they did really well.....of coarse it did help Haley's grandfather was a geography professor.....but Christina did good too.....think these ladies are an exception......most American girls.....forget about it.....they'd place Iceland in the refrigerator
Nah, I'm American (and a girl, not that it matters) and I can label all of Europe (Although I would have left Turkey off too, whoops). Many Americans can label Europe because they had to learn it in school, although these girls did do pretty well for not looking at it in years. Don't trust every stereotype CZcams and the internet puts in front of you 😛
Well done! Really impressive.
6:07 "Half of Turkey is in Europe" -- A vary small half. 😅
it also in the caucasus..
"Half of Turkey is in Europe" xD Only 3% is European, 97% is in Asia lol...
After all, if there is no europe, how can we participate in the uefa european cup?
That's true
But still we're an Eurasian country :)
Yeah but 20% of the population of Turkey!
alex it litteraly part of the caucasus so what do mean
The middle is empty because no one wants to touch the Balkan region with a 10 foot pole, kind of sad a lot of hidden gems.
O my God thank you for knowing where the Poland is on map! A lot of Americans didn't know that! I am glad! Greetings from Poland
Im planning on moving to korea next year and I really wish I could participate in these videos. I really love them.
Im German who obviously speaks german english some dutch some spanish and some french.
Thumbs up! If you will show me (as a European) a blind map of the USA, I will recognize only California, Texas and Florida, maybe Nevada, but definitely not all those rectangular states :)
Come on! I just counted, and I would be able to show half of them.
But the us is a country and Europe is a continent obviously so if I show you a map of America I'm sure you would guess a few more 🙈😉
America is easy as fk.
You can easily get 50% correctly.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Louisiana , New York, Washington DC, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Texas , Florida, South Dakota , North Dakota, Hawaii, Alaska, Vermont, Delaware, North Carolina , South Carolina, New Orleans, Utah , Idaho, Ohio, Alabama, Maine , New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi , Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Tennessee, Georgia, Connecticut.
Here it’s so easy. I already got 46 out of 50
No idea what the other 4 states are tho can’t remember. But still 92% correct.
Dont mistake states with countries. They did not ask for the states of Germany, Austria, the cantons of Switzerland or the departements of France to name just a few, which would correspond to US states.
This is just about countries, not states.
I don't think I could do better than them. I really need to go back and do some geography 😅 good job 👏
As a Czech person I feel so happy they know we exist and even guessed right.
I have to do this for my AP class in like a week for a test haha. We've already had to do Asia and Oceania and by the end of the year we will have done all of the continents :)
I took A.P. European History in high school but it only covered Western Europe so I know those countries. Eastern Europe countries are harder for me to place.
The ladies did a great job. 🇺🇸
And what about Central European countries?
I thought it was going to be a disaster but it was really good. I would not be able to get so much right with a US map.
Great job! Very good
I would get 💯 only because I was bored last year so I just taught myself the countries of the world. Great job! It was funny to see how some countries places were butchered as well.
Wow i am from France and i am not sure that i can place all of those countries right 🤣They did a really great job!! 👏🏻 Hope that it will be reverse next time 😁
nena pues eres una inculta, más estudiar y menos youtube
Good job guessing the map of Europe girls!, can you let the european girls guess all the U.S states next time please?.
I would love to see that happen.
It's not the same U.S.A is a country not a continent. I'm from Spain and I don't expect foreigners to know all our autonomies.
@@MAR-pl5jg ok my bad.
@@MAR-pl5jg exactly
@@MAR-pl5jg maybe not USA, let them guess the continent from north all the way to south
He'll let the Americans place each state also as a commotion with the Europeans I bet the Europeans will win.
Just tested my self now lol we do forget some things from school. All of western Europe is really easy for me, it got a little tricky at the Balkans though
This was so fun to watch. :)
"Who knows what goes there" was kinda rude to say but I'm not surprised they didn't know Balkan countries. Some people don't even know some of those countries exist not to know where they are on map. Anyways, greetings from Serbia 🙂✌
This American is pretty good with geography so I might get close to all of them… but these ladies did fairly well for not preparing and I’d say decently represent the actual average American’s knowledge of European Geography. Most of those videos online of Americans labeling countries of the world are highly edited so only the WORST people are shown and are done to just make fun of Americans and make us look bad/ignorant.
I love this argument, because most non-Americans who have spent any period of time with Americans can almost guaranteed tell you of first hand experiences of Americans having little to no concept or understanding of the world outside the US, including geography. Sure the videos are edited for the lols, but it doesn’t negate the fact that broadly, The average American knows next to nothing outside of their own state, let alone their own country
@@nicksmith7989 I just learnt 46 European countries cause I was bored but I feel like Americans shouldn't have to since why should we? I am feeling like a loser right now so I feel like learning major countries and their capitals is more important or going to the gym tbh
You did well, eventhough we actually are a country.
Best regards from Denmark
and even though we brought them lego
On the whole they did a pretty good job. 👍Yaay.
For the EU team, I don't think it would be good to make them label the USA map.. this is just my opinion. Continent versus country map is not fair to begin with. But if it's to label North and South America then it would be good.
is nobody going to mention how the two girls from the EU (Germany, France) are sitting in front of an EU flag when the quiz is about labeling ALL of Europe and not just countries that are in the EU? it's the first thing that stood out to me. but what do I know, right? I'm an American. 😆
You are the 1%. Also on the sidenote I think there are 47 European countries but only 27 in EU.
Well there isn’t really a flag for the continent of Europe
@@robertmifkovic6325 that's exactly my point. If anything they should be sitting in front of French and German flags respectively, not a flag for the European Union, since they're only representing two nations and not all of Europe. Bc not only does the EU not represent all of Europe, it is an economic designation, not a geographic or even ethnographic designation. But again. I'm an American. I'm an idiot by default in the eyes of "sophisticated" Europeans. So I'll just be over here being "stupid" and "unaware".
@@rachelcookie321 they should be sitting in front of French and German flags respectively, not a flag for which the capital is technically Brussels.
@Mandare Sane - my thoughts were exactly the same. The EU doesn't not represent the whole continent.
As an Italian, I find it funny that Italy is so well know where it is and what shape it has, that it's not even mentioned in the video basically, despite it was one of the first to be identified :D Considering we are a "small" country of ~300,000 km2 (~110,310 sq mi) and 'only' ~60M people quite far from the USA, it makes me proud of my country :-)
Haha, Italy, Spain and UK are never a miss. We're easy.
"Half of Turkey is in Europe"
What?
It's true, Turkey is a Eurasian country, half in Europe, half in Asia. There's a European and an Asian part of the captial Istanbul.
@@DidrickNamtvedt A super tiny part of Turkey is in Europe. How is it half?
That's like saying France is half south-american because they have the province of Guyane next to Brazil.

We learn European and world geography/history like in middle school usually and unless students are taking specific high level courses in High school or college they only get it again in terms of the Wars we fought in and the boundaries and names of nations changes a lot in Europe from the late 1600s to the end of the Cold War and reunification of Germany. As a child of the 70s and 80s it was sort of a joke to learn places overseas because any moment they would be something different and we also knew the Soviet block would fall so why bother when you should just wait... stability improved during these girls lives but as someone old enough to almost be their mom I recall most Americans ßaw the world as always at war and things always so unstable and changing. Which made little sense to us in the USA since the only war we had with Canadians was war of 1812, when we mistakenly thought they might want to get free of GB too, oops what a big pain that was, and the Mexican War ended quite quickly and was more a don't mess with Texas statement than a War. Our continent is quite stable so we really never understood why the squabbles and disputes in other places require our involvement. So since the last History most Americans get in High school is US History, most Americans would maybe know the map of Europe during WWII better than the current map unless the person is into politics/current events or has business/ family there. This is why these girls struggled a bit, but did far better than the average American. I seriously doubt Europeans can name.all 50 states on a map AND territories like Virgin Islands, PR, DC, Guam, etc.. Unlike the rest of the world, we those have not changed really since 1950s hardly and they cannot say the same for Europe, Asia, Asia Minor , Africa nor South America!!! That seems like a fair thing to ask them to do since we are talking about geographical size and the states of California, NY, Texas and FL can rival almost any nation on multiple levels in the world (GDP, pop, size, diversity, import/ export, tourism, etc...) Western Europeans can name and locate their neighbor.nations the same way Americans can name all the states in their NCAA football conference or basically region. That is not very impressive really when you really compare apples to apples. Basically most Americans need to learn more about the states here than your counties there the size of small states here. And we just think you guys are always getting us into wars and things we do not want to get into because you can't figure out your issues so that does not help Americans want to learn about it either. Most Americans want to only learn what they think they will need or use in life and the vast majority are correct so it is not apathy or arrogance it is American pragmatism.thst says nope not relatable/ useful so it just gets deleted to make room for.something else. Sad but accurate and those girls are so wrong about the first meme. The avg 25 yo American in Red to Purple areas politically is exactly like the American dream of the young head of household man, driving a nice truck, starting family with lovely bride and wanting to buy a home for 2 to 3 kids. It is the goal, it was what the previous generation did so it is expected unless you are in blue areas and cities where it is more the goal of someone in mid 30s not mid 20s due to cost of living and city living. It was exactly what my spouse and I had accomplished by age 24. College grad, middle class career begins, Decent car for each of us, marriage, nice 2 story house with 4 bedrooms in the suburbs, pregnant. Our youngest siblings 9 and 10.years younger accomplished the same thing basically as the meme by ages 22 and 25 so the meme is very accurate other than maybe the last 5 to 8 years in the USA and guys dream of video games so I see it in my kids and Europeans if the meme is true. Sad.

Surprisingly I remember a whole portion of geography class devoted to getting the countries in Africa along with their capitals. We were each assigned a country, mine was Gabon & focused on Libreville. I forgot all of the capitals, but I can still surprisingly get a large portion of the countries names right on a blank map of Africa. Roughly 30 of the 54 countries. So not great but probably the same amount if you ask me to get all 50 states in US lol.

@@Nutzername92a yeah and it’s strange they don’t know about the Balkans at all since the their country carried out an aerial bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War merely 20 years ago.
@@Nutzername92a To be fair, we only learn about Europe geography mostly from history. So the most I remember is where Yugoslavia as a whole is, and where Croatia and Serbia are. I would have to look at a map to see where the rest are. If you gave me a WWII map I could label every country.
I'm amazed
I aced the naming of the European countries quiz. Did well for first time in a while. I did catch a few errors but overall well done
“Denmark is there. Im sorry…. I forgot that was a country”
😬 I mean its not like it doesnt happen often
The Netherlands and Denmark might as well merge together as one country at this point, considering how often they're confused with each other
@@Showwieh that will never happen
Well, at least, they put you on the map, when the German girl asked Hayley and Christina why they left the space, where the Slovakia and Austria are empty, Hayley responded: 4:53
They did as well as I would, and I used to have 8/20 in geography 😂
Anyway, it's way better than I expected, last time I went to America and ask someone about geography, they didn't even know Portugal was a country
Yay girls! Way to represent all of us Americans who never are asked geography questions and could actually get most of them right! Lol! I’m curious if the European girls could name all the states?? That would be fun to watch.
Nope, they couldn't. The French one maybe could get close, but nay.
As a European i am a little ashamed to say that I Personally have problems remembering which is which of the Balkan countries, except Greece, italy and turkiye.
"Where's Belgium?"
*cries* I too ask that question at times.
They did well. We're not all doofuses. Personally, I would guarantee 100 percent accuracy, and put some real money on it, but I'm a (American) map nerd.
True, but the Europeans also helped them
They did better than I thought they would. I always do bad for the former Yugoslavian area. Well done ladies.
Omg, you got Belgium right!! 🇧🇪🇧🇪
I’m Chinese American but I know where every single European country is
Same
Same, but I'm a Slavic American.
Yea, I'm European but when it comes to south east Europe I'm lost.
Same, I'm American and I know where every European country is.
@@greenmachine5600 ok what country is between France & Spain & What Country is Gibraltar next to.
That little sad blank country right in the middle between Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Ukraine. That's Slovakia. I'm sad you didn't even mention it. 😢
However you've impressed me anyway, I think your score is amazing considering you have never been to Europe and graduated years ago.
@Miles Bennett Dyson obviously your education is very poor if you think your statement is correct 🙂
Everybody's getting excited over how good they did (bc they actually did good) yet noone's mentioning OG's geography professor sick parenting skills. That man is a scholar and a gentleman.
In Poland we say that one swallow does not make spring.
Luxembourg IS a city. In the country of Luxembourg
Half of Europeans don't even know all the countries in Europe. Heck I am Spanish and half of my fellow citizens don't know where fricking Soria or Teruel are in a map. So please don't judge Americans when we fail as well. It is like a fat person criticizing someone for being overweight. These are the kind of videos that keep spreading stereotypes.
Now how about asking a European to put the African countries on a map. Yeah! Lets try this.
The good thing about europe is that even if you mix up names and put wrong labels on countries, there is a good chance that at one point in the past it was correct
Christina & Hailey : aah, here we go again with the stereotypes. Let's prove 'em wrong. 🤣😂
You forgot Azerbaijan. We are just near the Turkey🇦🇿
Azerbaijan is not a European country
@@MissSlovakia2 why then we always participate in Eurovision?
@@elmanjavadov8968 I do not know, but Australia and Israel are not European countries and they participate as well 😉
@@MissSlovakia2 Azerbaijan belongs to two continents. Europe and Asia. Check from the Google
@@elmanjavadov8968 yes, it is true, my mistake. I checked an incomplete map of Europe. Should look further.
*This is either going to go surprisingly well or expectedly wrong* I have hope that they will do well enough though. So they help beat the stereotype of Americans not knowing geography because they are so self-obsessed.
To be fair, the American education system is weak when it comes to certain subjects when compared to other countries. They tend to focus on general knowledge as opposed to actually being well versed in the subject matters. However, geography is one of the few things they did drill into us from elementary to high school. Mainly North America, South America, Europe & East Asia.
I don't know if I'd agree that we're self-obsessed. In terms of area, we're roughly the same size as Europe. If the contest is "Name the political jurisdictions that are within 3000 km of where you live," then I don't think that Americans would fare all that terribly. Most of us might not be very good at pointing out European countries on a map, but that's not relevant to most Americans' lives. Likewise, I bet that Europeans would not do so well on the American version of that game-- how many Europeans can correctly label more than, say, 20 of the 50 US states?
Labeling, really thought it was wrong to label things WTF tisk tisk naughty naughty 😜✌
Which land have you placed between Polen, CZ and and the real Slowenia? Do we have a new state in Europe at the expense of the Czech Republic? And where is little Lichtenstein, Monaco and San Marino? Malta is missing also. And your sea of marmara looks a little bit dry.
