I guarantee you that absolutely no one in America is going to confuse Italy for "maybe Croatia?". Absolutely everyone knows Italy is the one that looks like a high-heeled boot, and a very large percentage probably have never even heard of Croatia.

You guys are wildly overestimating how much Europeans know about Ohio
Damn is Ohio really that popular
Only in Ohio...
Calling all those states Ohio is a high end insult
No. An American made both sides of this map, and it shows.
7th largest state by population, behind CA, TX, FL, NY, PA, and IL. Might be popular for Europeans because a lot of immigrants go to Ohio.

Not really
I would appreciate if you could move "russia" to the right a bit, thank you very much
can't help, the map was drawn by Comrade Putin
That's what Putin did and look how THAT turned out!
It's "how USA sees" not "how it is irl".
Nah, we know where Ukraine is right now. But I would not have any clue where Georgia was if OP didn't label it...
Yeah, but ppl i know still place it as ex-ussr fighting for freedom tbh
So you would say that it usually ISN'T on your mind even though the devil went down there?
Most americans have no thoughts related to france owning northern africa. I know the joke is that algeria is independent now but most american never knew france ruled that region at all
I know I learned it in high school at one point but definitely isn't something I would have been able to recall on my own.
These are the places that make up the USA:
- east side (new york city)
- west side (california)
- florida
- texas
- washington (the state, not the capitol)
- that 70's show
- breaking bad
- the empty lands (deserts, woods and farmland)
As a Michigander I am greatly offended.
I'm honestly astounded anyone outside of the US thinks about Ohio at all
Honestly it's probably 95% because Ohio has become a meme over the last few years
always has been

European here: We don't. No idea where most of that map is supposed to come from.
Different breed of European here: We do. No idea why but everyone i know seems to know basic ones + Ohio for some reason.
I live in the US and digit Ohio existed
As a Georgian, at least y'all didn’t get lumped into Alabama
As a European with an American girlfriend who's originally from Cheeseland and now lives in Best Carolina, I'm not thrilled either..
Better than Indiana at least..
Replace England with just London
Turkish gonna love it
For me personally I would add "Arcadia Bay" to where Oregon is and most Europeans know New Mexico bc of Breaking Bad so maybe add "Meth" there
Bro I'm American and don't know what Arcadia Bay is
Australia now moved to the black sea
According to this, Australia is just a body of water? You guys living on makeshift atolls out there or something?
How can you tell it's water if it's not blue?
Because the sea is black (or is it red?)
As an American (Georgian):
Sad there isn't a dot in the middle of germany called NEUTRALITY
Georgia in Europe is annoying so we would call them "joor-jee-yuh" instead, at least in Augusta GA lol.
Oh, we know Ireland, most would often just give them the entire island out of ignorance & laziness tbh.
Sidenote: Ex-USSR bit is pretty effing accurate tho lol
Nah see I've played paradox games, I can label most of those European countries.
Lmao France all in Africa
For some reasons a big part of Africa speaks French. There's even a theory predicting that French could be the most spoken language in the World by the end of the century because of Africa's population growth.
