Eh, close enough.
I was gonna say.
Want to see the map of Asia that most US-Americans could draw.
Nobody’s asking anyone to draw a map from memory. They’re asking a news channel to put in the 5 seconds of googling it takes to procure an accurate map.

Russia
==============================
Iran | China | Japan
==============================
Saudi Arabia | India | Vietnam

Basically China, India and Japan with a Vietnam somewhere but they don’t want to talk about it.
Hey now, North Korea is in there somewhere by Vietnam, too.

If you had to condense it for a videogame, this would cover most bases.
Los Santos, Liberty City, Vice City.
And the big empty bit in the middle to hide the loading.
That’s just Red Dead.

I don't get this though. Maps are free online. You don't even have to guess anymore.

Honestly not far off
How dare you split Michigan logically!
Can you explain to the non-US citizen the split in Michigan? If you want I can explain the split in Lorraine, France in exchange (^_^)
The state of Michigan exists on both sides of the great lakes (which are effectively freshwater oceans, containing their own maritime economies, marine salvage operations, maritime weather and even famous lost ships) so there's the Michigan mainland which contains major cities like Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, but then there's the "upper penninsula" which is heavily wooded and some consider a continuation of the "north woods" of Wisconsin. Map for context:
Thanks.
As promise, here is the explanation for the split in Lorraine: Lorraine is a region in easter France that is culturally split in two. One part is of Frank culture, like Paris and French tradition, the other as a culture much closer to Germany, Luxembourg and german speaking countries. It also as a germanic tradition as local languages used to be some german dialect rather that french dialect.
This part of Lorraine which is roughly the Moselle county used to be called germanic Lorraine but this term started to be ambiguous when France lost Alsace, the very famously german-cultured region at the border of France and Germany, and the Moselle county in 1871.
After the great war, Alsace-Moselle was part of France again, but as some of its social laws where better than France at the time, it was decided to keep them in place and not to apply the laws that where voted in France when it was part of German. Because of that, today Lorraine is separated not only culturally but also by laws in place. Go to Metz, on the germanic part, and have two more non-work holiday as in Nancy in the french. In Nancy and Metz, social contributions are calculated differently and important laws for France are not applied no the german side : Church and State are not separated there.
Of course, French State work on every day following that law but in Moselle and Alsace, men of worship can be pay with public money.
All that with having Nancy and Metz separated by 50 km and both being part of Lorraine.

A bit like a map on how Europe is perceived by Americans, where whole Germany is Bavaria.
As if Americans have any idea what Bavaria is. And if they could even name one city in Germany it certainly wouldn't be anything in the south, it'd be Hamburg, because hamburgers lol

If you had to divide the mainland US into 4 "regions" this is probably the best way to split it.
I contest this by pointing out that Arizona is basically the grumpy younger sibling of California and is not allowed to hang out with Texas.
the four corners states all going to go live with the pacific side of the family except for Utah who thinks the devil's lettuce has corrupted them all

As a Canadian I would cut out part of Texas at the top for “Americans that think they are Canadian”
But it’s pretty accurate
Ok but you need to give us Alberta as Canadians that think they're American
As much as I hate Minnesotans for thinking they are us
I would gladly make that trade

Was this a news report from the future on the signing of the Treaty of 2034 that ended the second US Civil War?
I like how the New York, Florida, and Texas tristate border still makes my homeland of western Kentucky instantly recognizable by the weird little nubbin that is the Jackson Purchase.

looks about right...
It certainly feels that way sometimes.
This is what those “state vs state battle royale” fantasy war simulators look like after a couple rounds
are they wrong tho
Wait, Alaska is missing!
I know I don't live in Texas because we still have electricity running here. Florida checks out though!
Where is Gotham and Springfield
Its a map of the lower 4~~8~~ states
I mean I've seen worse "The US according to foreigners" maps. At least all of those regions contain the states their named for.
