Most Americans probably couldn't place American states on a map, much less foreign countries.

My ex-inlaws couldn't read a map if their lives depended on it judging by the number of calls I used to get asking for directions to such and such place that they've already been.

To be brutally honest, I'm not sure I could do a whole lot better than those people. My world geography sucks.

The video about turkeyday in that link-
"the president either pardons a turkey, or they ritually slaughter one, or both?" That guy gets us.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The examples I've scrolled through weren't so bad. Turning Belgium into Euro Disney was a nice touch, too.
Also, "Le France". heh. One person grossly misplaced (and misspelled) Milla Jovovic, though. That's not acceptable.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The 4th one was pretty funny with Poland misidentified as Australia, lol. I'm guessing he meant Austria.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
Probably did mean Australia.
