spelled mississippi correctly

on the california I mean, not where it says 'mississppo'.

And to think that the average Australian can correctly distinguish between Kazahkstan and Kyrgizistan, and name all the principle rivers of Siberia. It is nothing short of flabbergasting.

the stans (excluding pak and afgan which are easy to find) go in alphabetical order clockwise so its really not that hard

To be honest I was pretty vague about where most US states were before I did this thing:

JFC Mexico has a lot of states. I don't even know how many I could name let alone label --

Yucatan
Q.R.
Oaxaca
Chiapas
Baja California
Sonora?
Jalisco?
I think there's a state called the equivalent of "Mexico State" or something, right? Like where the capital is located? That's about all I got right now.

lol @ doghead/cathead

would also guess 90% of australians really dont know how many states australia has because what IS a state and what is a territory and who the hell knows?

South Australia bothers me because

1.) There is already a "South" state, NSW.

2.) There is Western Australia and Northern Territory (which may or may not be a state.) Having "Southern" in its name could even opened itself to hella bunch of Southern Cross opportunities. But now, it's South Australia, kinda like South America but not really.

South Dakota, South Carolina?

Northern Dakota, Northern Carolina?

pplains, Friday, 1 November 2013 21:17 (ten years ago) link

northern california, southern california, centralern california

lag∞n, Friday, 1 November 2013 21:19 (ten years ago) link

i can't explain why, but I'd say -ern is more of a broad area of a location while straight up North This or South That is a proper name.

So maybe it's West Australia that needs to get in line, but still.

pplains, Friday, 1 November 2013 21:21 (ten years ago) link

At any rate, consistency is needed.

Three states. Want three states.

i think we had a crack at 2 1/2 cardinal directions and just gave up

Jesus (wins), Friday, 1 November 2013 22:13 (ten years ago) link

32 is the highest number im pretty sure which is why they didnt do more
