Most Americans probably couldn't find the US on a world map.

It's probably not true but very funny.

To be honest, that's not half bad. I wouldn't be able to do the map of the US nearly as well as most of these people did Europe. And I'd also suck at filling in eastern Europe.

Too bad though that most people can't find The Netherlands apparently.

"The Netherlands? Ain't that the capital of Amsterdam?"

Here is a map of Europe - I couldn't place all the countries:

It's confusing how they lumped Scotland, England and Wales together under "United Kingdom". Most Americans at least made an effort to separate those.

There are other maps not focusing on an EU perspective. I just happened to pick this one.

Nobody wrote Lichtenstein. Is that even an independent nation these days?

I wonder if the "good gymnasts" was meant to be Romania, which is farther south.

I got 89% in 2:57 on this one.

When I was in grade school I would have got 100% easily. But, as with much knowledge that is never used, it fades with time.

I think you mean median, not average. You and George are in the bottom half.

Nah, just doesn't quite work as well as the original. I guess this is why you never wrote for any comics. 😕

It may not matter much, but on this map you will see a small indication for Liechtenstein, between Switzerland and Austria:
