MODERATORS
to be fair, when european goes to us, they also don't mean nebraska. we europeans like to trashtalk their geographical knowledge, but how many of us score 100% in a blind map game? i guess not that many...

41% on US states
US-ian here. Haven't seen that quiz before. Scored 100% just now on US states and 100% on the European countries quiz. But I like geography and have traveled somewhat more than the OP map.
I feel like a lot of American travelers weirdly think more about going to Europe in terms of cities rather than countries. It's expensive to go and they may only get one trip. So their friends tell them to go appreciate the biggest historic landmark, a church, a museum (top 3 artworks only), and a restaurant in Rome, then go to Paris and repeat, to London and repeat, maybe to Madrid or Barcelona and repeat. Adventurous ones visit Prague or Venice! Maybe spend 2 nights somewhere to really immerse themselves in the culture. Then they complain back home about how crowded and hectic Europe is and they never go back. It's no wonder, they spent half their time in taxis, airports and discount airline flights.
Not just Americans, I live about an hour from Barcelona and my Hungarian in-laws initially only wanted to do touristy stuff in the city when we first moved.
Thank goodness they've now passed that phase, and we can actually go to nice places :-)
54% of success I don't know if an American would get something like that in the EU, but I can't boast either
