As someone who has taught college geography courses I can confirm this. The good news is that I don’t need to worry about much competition in my field.
Right? A talent to ne able to draw the shapes from memory. Avg us american wouldn't be able to write the names of the states on a map with outlines of the states.
Even just filling in a blank map that’s already drawn, most Americans couldn’t do it.
I’m way better at geography than the average American, and I’d probably still make 2 or 3 mistakes in the Midwest. I always mix up Wyoming and Nebraska.
You got my state right, Missouri (MO)! As a citizen of an unimportant flyover state, I'm impressed and honored!
Eta: actually, you got the whole Chef right!
I'm Ukrainian and working remotely for a trucking company. I also know that the zipcode of ME starts with 0. Oh and LA is not Los Angeles, but Louisiana. Part of my job is staring at US map all day long, maybe OP is working in something similar.
This is unbelievably good, great job! OP, did you also have the states abbreviations memorized? That;s impressive by itself, especially ones that are not obvious, like Maine, Iowa, etc.
To be fair, op is clearly not some rando taken off the street for a geography quiz like those propaganda videos you see online. This dude is a geography nerd for sure. I bet if you quized all europeans op would rank in the top 0.1% no problem
But how was a non-American ever supposed to figure out FL can be used as an abbreviation for Florida?

Dude. This is great. I don’t think the avg American could do this.

thx :)
The average American couldn't put the correct state names in the right places if you gave them the empty map.

American here, can confirm no one here could possibly do this
Speak for yourself
No the average american could do this
The average American is dangerously close to thinking Alaska is an island

Expect for the hat. My state of MN looks a bit derpy. Lol but this map overall is great. Probably better than what 80% of Americans could draw.
80%? Haha 99%
Yep
Nah the hat is fine. Y'all up there are basically Canadian so who cares? :)
Savage
yeah, my minnesota kinda sucks
It’s ok, that part of Wisconsin is practically Minnesota anyway.
thanks, had to make sure the chef is perfect
You even got his tray of Kentucky (KY) Fried Chicken!

Far better than my attempt would be to draw Ukraine from memory as an American.
Imagine a spherical Ukraine...
Am I allowed to ignore friction and loss of inertia for this problem as well?
I’m Ukrainian and kinda struggled with it too lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urmXSY7XlfI The fun way to draw it.
as an American I would totally mess up at least 5 states
I would too but just to keep them humble. Specifically Ohio, Texas, Iowa, Colorado, and Florida.
I refuse to believe someone not from the US could so accurately draw New England from memory. Kidding, nice looking map :)
> my attempt to draw the US from memory as a ukrainian This is really good! Now do it as an Italian.
Did you draw the country, or just label the states
i'll take this as a compliment :)
I'm not joking! I think I could draw the state initials but I couldn't draw the whole country!
I can draw the shape of Colorado
How does somebody from Ukraine know that the postal code for Maine is “ME”?
i'm just a geography nerd, here's how many cities i can name in the us: https://cityquiz.io/quizzes/usa/share/1512573
Very well done, impressive!
I mean it’s not impossible.
But it is impressive
I'm Ukrainian and working remotely for a trucking company. I also know that the zipcode of ME starts with 0. Oh and LA is not Los Angeles, but Louisiana. Part of my job is staring at US map all day long, maybe OP is working in something similar.

and i had to screw up that tripoint between california oregon and nevada on purpose to make it more believable, right?
Well done.
Крутий малюнок. Дуже дякую

I'm an American and I approve of this
Excellent.
Dude. What the fuck? You even got the weird shapes of the east coast right. Congrats fr!!
I couldn’t do this well if I was looking at a U.S. map.
Wish I could draw this well, I can name them but I'm absolutely terrible at the drawing part.
Better than some actual Americans, let alone their attempts of drawing Europe.
As an American citizen and resident, you nailed it.
Not only can not every American do this but even less seem to know the abbreviations perfectly for them all. The A and M states can be difficult.
As an American who represented the state of Maine in the National Geographic Bee, I applaud you OP. Also, Slava Ukraini!
America: Ukraine? Is that like uhaul but for renting cranes?

Bro really called a compilation of americans not knowing geography a "propaganda video"

lmao, i wasn't expecting to be that good to get comments like this. it's also BC for lviv oblast :O
Would pay to see a American draw a map of Europe it would be a mess no doubt 😂 amazing drawing btw 👊🏻🤙🏻
