Can you mark Portland Oregon and some parts of Colorado as “Good United States”

I would also accept Minnesota as a good state. I have nothing but respect for Minnesota.

I think most people would just combine the Area 51 and “Ohio” sections and just call it “corn”…

I don't love being classified as Ohio, but the map seems pretty reasonable.

We don't have much corn up in the PNW

Portland, OR is pretty good. Bit wary to lump her in with the rest of the US though.

Ohio - the underpants of the United States. Yep, seems accurate.

No, but we can do "Raytheon Acres" in rainbow font.

Similar to Colorado, only some parts of Minnesota are good. South of Rochester and north of Fridley aren't great. Winona has some good, and Mankato is decent but never took part in the Anti-ICE push. Can't say much about the state west of Mankato though, too close to North Dakota for my tastes (/s). However, climate change discussion sans naming it is highly respected throughout the state, we love our nature.

No way Area 51 would be on a map because it's Top Secret! That's actually the state of "Las Vegas."

And Ohio is crazy, no way such a thing would really exist, it's just a meme. That's actually the state of "The White House."

Depends on the expectations level. Maybe the goal is to recall names and overall positioning of, let's say, 10. That sounds doable.

She's a bit crazy, but in a good way. Sometimes she's madly in love for Roy, other times she's just mad.

Snaggletooth (though Mimi has more than one fang) is moe.

I mean, the Columbia valley grows a bunch of corn, along with a bunch of other stuff. It isn’t the miles and miles of nonstop corn of the Midwest, but it is there.

I think I've been in classes where I've had to memorize that stuff. TBH, there's probably a mnemonic to remember them all.

But did they have you draw them in? I remember having to remember them all when I was like 10. But just the names and their capitals. We did not have to draw them. That would have been a hilarious disaster.

In Germany, our 9th grade English class focused on American English. We did a test where we had to fill in all the states. But at least not hand draw.

My 7th grade geography class had a test where we drew in all the states and then had to label them along with the capitals. Bit of a pain at the time but ultimately knowing that geography in general has been somewhat helpful as an overall life skill.

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

As a Michigander, I can confidently say that this map is a capital crime in my state. Us and Ohio are mortal enemies. It's like labeling New Zealand "Australia".
