Europe has all those small weird countries. Trying to label them as an American is impossible.

Only just as hard as labeling the US states

The Animaniacs made that one easy. Do you have an animated bouncing song for just Europe? Cause their world geography song doesn't work nearly as well as the US state capital/location song.

We can't do New England much better than we can Eastern Europe. But at least we're relatively consistent. I wasted so many brain cells on Piedmont Sardinia, French Netherlands, Poland, Poland again, Poland the third, Prussia, and the UK but now none of them are part of Europe.

I agree, I have trouble labeling most south eastern european countries correctly as a European myself. Though I was specifically talking about western Europe in this case which isn't as fragmented.

Can you find Andorra on a map? What about without border outlines?

I doubt 90% of Americans know it exists.
