That's pretty funny.

I recently learned that most maps in the US only show Canada as one big blog rather than the provinces and cities marked on the map. Helped me understand a little bit why so few Americans know anything about Canada.

Most Americans barely know their own map if they even know that, asking them to know Canada too is asking too much.

Mexico gets the same treatment, most people probably don't know it's divided up in the same way.
