I’m glad they know the trick for Kentucky (a chef outline cooking Kentucky Fried Chicken)
You can’t unsee this. I’ve tried.
This is the first time seeing it and it’s hilarious. Thanks!
Getting Oklahoma but not Minnesota is frankly nuts.
And there are tons of Quebec plates driving around New Hampshire. Mostly for the cheap booze I assume.
And it borders Quebec too. Unlike Louisiana.
Oklahoma had an easy to remember shape
Yeah Minnesota is just Canada lite.
who lives here
We’re like 100 miles from every canadian in existence. Bruh
With the number of hockey players and associated rivalries churned out by that circle I question the OP’s Canadian credentials.
Ooh. Now do Americans filling out Canadian provinces.
Ngl I’d just make up names
Is Ontario one?
It sure is.
Is it two of them?
Yay I did something
Montreal
I’m gonna mix most of the interior ones up and totally forget that Montreal isn’t called Quebec.
Now the hard mode is Mexico. They have enough states to be confusing and not enough presence in English internet to be memorable
I could have gotten Baja California and Puebla. 50:50 on Yucatán, because Quintana Roo (which I don’t believe I knew existed, even after 11 years of Spanish classes in the US- that’s straight up shameful) is also on the peninsula.
Holy shit, there’s 31 states. I am going to do some reading because I did not realize how little I knew. I’ve even taken college level Latin American History classes as part of a Spanish minor, but they focused on precolumbian history and American political influence (euphemistically).
The spot near the border is called Toronto, everything else is Alaska junior. There is a small swamp somewhere called “Quebec”. Up north is something beautiful called the Aurora Rae Jepsen.
How’d I do?
I thought it was just one giga state…
It is actually, Canada is the state. The US is the weird one with multiple states.
Canadia just uses the fancy rich people word for state: province.
Interesting claim, let’s see:
Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Argentina*, Armenia, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada*, China, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Costa Rica, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Indonesia, Iran, Laos, Mongolia, Mozambique, Nepal*, Netherlands (country, not kingdom), North Korea, Pakistan*, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Poland, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, The Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, Turkey, Vanatu, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Taiwan (to some extent), all use Provinces.
While Australia*, Austria*, Brazil*, Germany*, India*, Malaysia*, Mexico*, The Federated States of Micronesia*, Myanmar, Nigeria*, Palau, Somalia*, South Sudan*, Sudan*, The United States*, and Venezuela*, all use States.
More interestingly, the asterisks denote federal systems of government (the rest are mostly unitary or regional). Almost every state system is also a federal system, while most provinces aren’t sovereign.
Thus, Canada is the weird one out, basically using states while calling them less than states. As usual, they do everything backward. I’m so proud! 🇨🇦
Bah, you call that weird? In the UK we’re a country that contains four smaller countries!
TBH, if Canada wasn’t subject to harsher winters compared to what I can tolerate, I would move there myself.
East to west along the US border is Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba?, Alberta?, and BC. I think.
Then there’s Nunavut. And maybe Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland? I’m realizing I have no idea how many provinces Canada has
Edit: Looked it up and I definitely missed a few
As a Canadian I’m shit at remembering names, but give me an accurate list of State names and I could complete this map with at least 90% accuracy.
As it is, having to remember names off the top of my head I would likely only get about 50-60% correct.
My rage at them getting New York wrong is only quelled in knowing that they pissed off many Pennsylvanians in the process.
I live in “what”
I’m from ha
I dated a girl from Seattle once, but then she moved to Washington.
West Dakota and East Dakota: nobody ever remembers us… 😢
I like how they get a bunch of corn-field-states but can’t identify any of the east coast.
Don’t mind me, just doing my daily 10 (12? 14?) hour commute from western Washington, across the Cascades and the Rockies, to Seattle.
Glad Seattle got in there, just happy to be remembered.
It’s a little bigger than I remember
I like that the who lives here circle has 3 of the top 4 most population dense states
Better idea. Let’s add two more Puerto Rico and the Virgin Isles
Both of the states I’ve lived in got ???’d 🥲
Huh. TIL Colorado has a Canadian border. I’ve been in CO for almost 10 years and didn’t know that.
