Pick a region of the world and take the quiz. For Non-Americans Try the American quiz on states.

Canada and USA is two countries, not continents.
Why do they get their own quiz?
Well, because the test is made in America!

They're called "states" in the US and "provinces" in Canada. Counties are something else entirely.

No, but U.S. States aren't "counties," they're states. Which means they are much more autonomous than European counties. Much more important, too!

I could probably locate all the former Soviet Republics, which would be a more fair analogy.

I excell in Geography... I always had. The only problems I have are with those islands in the Gulf Of Mexico. I had a bit of problem with some European countries... such as Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania which I always mix up. I had a little problem with some US States aswell...

Africa - 139/147
Asia - 84/84
Canada - 32/39
Caribbean - 21/72 I suck at that region...
Central America - 42/42
Europe - 109/114
Middle East - 87/87
South America - 39/39 (Duh! My Spanish teacher made me memorize this region)
USA - 140/150
World - 30/33 (What was that "undefined" thing that came first? I lost three points because of that)
