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.
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
You guys are wildly overestimating how much Europeans know about Ohio
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...
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
  
  European here: We don't. No idea where most of that map is supposed to come from.
  
  I live in the US and digit Ohio existed
- 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..
- As a Georgian, at least y'all didn’t get lumped into Alabama
Replace England with just London
- @DustyNipples @Maddison, for the USA? Replace the rest of the World with Mexico or Canada
Turkish gonna love it
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?)
  
  You're right, must be a giant sea of milk then. Or cum.
Australia now moved to the black sea
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
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
Na
The left one needs more McDonalds
