And those countries can be replaced by a few cities in each.
Claim: "I was in Europe!"
Truth: Visited Barcelona

Sure, many Americans go to the Vatican. But I don't think San Merino is such a popular destination.
Hey the country of amsterdam isn't on it
I've been to Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia (back when that was a country). Although I wasn't visiting Germany, but living there.
I don't understand your post. Are you telling us how special you are because you've visited many European countries? Are you saying that you are not like other Americans because you can name these countries? Why do you think it's important for us to know this information?
I mean germany and parts of greece are definitely part of this.
Germany too, and Portugal. Americans understand that England, Scotland, and Wales are not Europe. They’re traitors and fools.
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...
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.
54% of success I don't know if an American would get something like that in the EU, but I can't boast either
No American has ever been in Corsica.
Hey!
I’ve been to Ireland, too.
Average American couldn't name those countries.
In my experience, most would recognize the names of the countries, but at least half could not label them on a blank map. Our schools usually teach this around ages 10-14 and most people haven't cared since then.
"Pasta country, flamenco country, cheese country and the island where they talk like me but with a weird accent."
An usian.
Nah it's Pasta, European Mexico, Baguette, and Redcoatland
Shouldn't it be that those are the only countries Americans can name?
This one's Jeff, he's my favorite country.
he meant what he said.
I imagine it applies to the subset that travels to Europe.
I wonder what share of the population or each country can find their own country in a world map.
The white dot between France and Spain is Andorra and the one nearest France and Italy is Monaco. I feel like both of them should be filled in, especially Monaco.
Weird. I had to look up some numbers because I expected to see Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands on this map. They are really easy to get to and navigate as an American, but I guess a lot of people do think of warmer climates for vacations.
I had to look up some numbers because I expected to see (...) the Netherlands on this map
Nah, Amsterdam was probably too tiny for this map.
Alaska and Hawaii are not parts of Europe
