Why not learn the capitals at the same time?

I have to keep telling people there are 50 states and not 52...

Thank you to Samuel L and Robert Carlisle for providing me with an example as to why people are stupid.

I was the geography bee champion at my elementary school.  I know all the states and the capitals and probably the largest cities in each state.  Most of the countries are doable except some of the island nations.  I love geographic factoids.  Ken Jennings is one of my heroes.

We don't have this problem in Australia, there is New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Mining Australia, Arsehole Australia and Inbredisland.

Then we have some territories, Wet hot ****ty Territory, Cold/Hot Political Territory, Freezy not really Australia Territory, Santa Island, Jervis's House, Ronald Mcdonald Land, Cocaine Island, ****ty Underwater Calcium Islands, Two Random ****s Island. Oh and then there is I want Australian Money but I don't want to be Australia, only ever had one murder and we blamed a New Zealander island.

Mine is half a small town's name followed by a non shire suffix, next door is just a name and a bit further south is the wannabe country, also not named after anything and not a shire.  These are all big ones, I wouldn't like to guess how many Counties there are let alone naming them - I think I'd get a higher percentage of the US states :))

Several friends and I like to play a drinking game "let's write down all 50 states". We are all Canadian by the way. We usually get 47-50. Sometimes we try capitals but have never done too well on that.

I think I would too. US states are much more widely publicised and used when talking about towns all the time, unlike here when you hardly ever associate the town name with the county.

So Canadiens know American geography better than Americans.  Of course.

Ask an American to name three Canadian provinces.  I wonder how would get it.

They are mostly bat **** crazy names though to be fair. I mean what even is Saskatchewan anyway? (I almost spelt that right as well, put an e instead of the first a).
