    Wait was this some sort of school assignment? If so the comments are clearly inappropriate.

    Other than that their knowledge of geography is basically the same as mine: I can detail western and nothern european countries but anything east of Poland and Austria is just Eastern Europe or the Balkans if it's further south lol.

    It might sound absurd and sad, but many Europeans would draw it no better. I have seen few people who couldn't even point where Germany or UK is on the map

    You can find people in many nations who wouldn't know precisely where small nations that are rarely heard about in the world are on a map.

    Twenty students certainly doesn't reflect all 324+million US citizens. It's ignorant to perceive all individual American people are the same. Ask members of the CIA the same question.

    US students are probably more interested in knowing the way around their own massive nation and learning about more important subjects in life, than caring for the locations of small nations in Europe.

    Do you know where every state is in the US? Do you care to know where every nation is in the middle east, or on a massive continent like Africa?

    The US navy, air forces, and military, all know where they're going on a map when they go to wars;- be sure of that, before condescendingly mocking and rudely sneering and underestimating Americans, in order to make yourself feel better.

    American astronauts at NASA also know the way to land rockets on other planets in our solar system.

    Zip codes can be harder. I just answered to example of knowing where are specific states. Since you edited and added part about countries of Middle East and Africa, I can locate them too. But it's because I liked Geography as a kid and was surrounded by maps, and I had to learn the states in a college when I took it seriously.

    But I get what you mean. Students not interested in Geography is not the same as some folk from CNN who cannot prepare him-/herself to the job.

    Anyway, I never heard complains on Russians not knowing Geography, yet they live in a bigger country.
