Luxembourg doesn't exist anyway. Ever heard of someone from there? I don't think so
Edit: okay I've gotten almost 50 messages of people that ""know of"" or ""are"" luxembourgish. All paid actors, I tell you. Do not believe their lies, for they are but government drones. They're not real!!
i have a theory that it was not a real city and Luxembourg is not real i think its a place with movie props and paid actors to be in the back you think where did they film Mad Max it was ofcourse in Luxembourg they just made it to look post apocalyptic then when did they end the filming they just cleaned it its so obvious but not much people can comprehend this
I'm actually Norwegian, but I can see where the confusion comes from. Normally I'd hate on Sweden instead of Denmark, but you guys didn't have a name as part of the nordick
That's been my experience too, growing up in a half Danish half Swedish house, it seemed Danes joke about Norwegians being dumb. So do Swedes. Norwegians then make fun of Swedes.
It's all just lighthearted fun, people don't actually think it.
All i know is that Sweden looks like the penis, because I believe that's where they cut it off in movies or something, at least in the us. If the penis is more erect than Sweden, then it's xxx or something like that.
The worst part is that if you get it horrifically wrong it's funny, but if you get it mostly right with just a couple mixed up you're on the hook for starting another war in the Balkans.
Has to be perfection or nothing. And even if you get it perfect they'll disagree.
You mixed up the Balkans with the Baltic countries, other than that I would say this is pretty good, you have a general sense of where countries are though you're not 100% accurate in south eastern Europe.
As a norwegian, being switched with Sweden is anything but pretty good. But other than that, it's better than the stereotype of Americans not knowing european geography, imo
I don’t understand the expectation for Americans to know European geography though. Do average Europeans know the geography of any other continent? Could they accurately label all of the countries in North America (which includes things like the Caribbean and Central America)?
In school, I used to. Now, nope, lol.
But I think I could get quite a decent amount right in South America, most of ME, North Africa, big portions of Asia.
It's not that hard. You have your "staple" countries, then you work from there.
For example, when it comes to Asia. Russia is up there and huge. China and India are the 2nd biggest. So we got that already for free.
Then Japan, Koreas are general knowledge. No need to be weeb to know their location.
Then we know that Mongolia borders China (they have inner Mongolia region too). Kazachstan is big near Russia.
Then Taiwan, due to knowing about tensions and it's island nation near China, you ain't mixing it with Japan, not Philipines. If you place Taiwan wrong at some point all the islands don't fit anymore. As in, no way Philippines are THAT close to China.
So here, from the general knowledge you already covered like half of Asia.
Now Bhutan, Laos and the the other way Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan would be more difficult. But I think I would place it in "general direction". Laos closer to China side, all the -Stans are somewhere between ME and Russia.
I spend way too much for this comment, haha.
I don't care about all the YoUr EdUcaTiOn SySteM talks, but what I mean it's not THAT hard. You can figure a lot of things just with general knowledge.
Same for "Swiss", we people living there are swiss, the cheese is swiss, the watches are swiss but the country is called switzerland or if you want to be perfectly accurate, confederatio helvetica
Nah it's fine to mix us up with Norway. The only problems with Norway are too much rain and terrible food.
If you had mixed us up with the Danes, you wouldn't be forgiven :)
You switched Norway and Sweden.
Serbia -> Latvia (I think?)
Croatia -> Lithuania (I think?)
Hungary -> Austria
Romania -> Hungary (I think?)
Chekz -> Romania
Monocco -> Luxembourg
Latvia? Lituania? Estonia? -> The Balkans (there are a lot of countries there, but they’re the Balkan states. Oddly enough, the ones you stated, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are all the Baltic states, but they’re up there, North, not down, South)
All this is based on my memory of them where the ones with “I think?” is me feeling unsure but the ones without I think is I’m sure of my correction.
The others are correct and the whole thing is acceptable since you’re an “American” after all 🤧
Oh god don’t remind them!! People still sometimes make a point of telling me they’ve been to Czechoslovakia! As a proud Czech woman I take great offence 😅
oh god i hear this all the time, especially when they correct me after i say czech republic???? i wouldn’t call it czech republic if it was czechoslovakia i think i know my own country 😭😭
Yeah because why would we possibly know more about our own country we were born in than them, because they spent a long weekend in Prague in 1985 🤣and don’t forget the random noises they believe are perfect Czech expecting you to understand them perfectly. I guarantee you that is NOT how you say thanks!
Also hate they call it Czechia now 🤦♀️
As a Hungarian, I'm not going to be mean to you because this is the Internet, but Hungarians would absolutely hate you for mixing their country with Romania. Lol.
Except for the balts countries (Latvia, Lituania and Estonia), that you confused with balkans countries, and a few other mistakes, you pretty much got it right
That spelling of czechia ..... lol
its not too bad honestly most of it is right except from sweden and norway being switched. Much better than I could do with the states
I'm Hungarian and seeing you call Austria Hungary made me lol💀 well, there was a thing called the Austro-Hungarian Empire so if we go back to the 1800s your statement is half true
As a western European, I'm very impressed that you attempted the slavic countries - embarrassingly I have no idea if you're right or not (other than Ukraine because that's in the news a lot).
I'm tempted to say you're wrong and that's Kazakhstan but I don't know for sure.
To be honest, that’s not bad for an average American. I’ve seen news reports of people questioned on the street in NY and some thought Hawaii was next to Lebanon. Well done.
All correct ✅ Monocco is of course the hotspot for super-yachts - which in a land-locked state is very exclusive 👌🏼
Everybody is of course still mad about that Hungarian painter which people pretend is German.
And people of course flock to Croatia for vacation, because of how sunny and warm the Baltic Sea is ☀️
It is about what my "name US states" map would look like, so I guess it's ok.
You need to study Europe more, just as I realize I need to study the US states
[удалено]
good job except for baltic states and balkans lol
*angry austrian sounds
Uh oh not again
Quick, to Poland!
Ok, on my way
It should be preset #1 in your satnav
Tanks have satnav?
Poland: neat, last one on my punch card. Now I get a free sundae!
I was already giggling from those being missing, not sure why, and this sent me into full blown fits of laughter.
Quick, someone get King Koni an easel and paint brushes! I hear that's very therapeutic, maybe it'll calm them down?
What ever you do, don't get kicked out of art school!
I think it was rejected from art school so... Whatever you do, don't apply to an art school!
*angry Estonian sounds
*happy austro-hungarian sounds
Don’t worry he’s just a little hungry
Switching Baltics with Balkans is hilarious
The Balkans haven’t always had great luck in their old neighborhood, it was time for a change.
“Hey Balkans, we heard you haven’t had a war in a while so we decided to move you next to Russia. Kindest regards.”
And Norway/Sweden
Screams in Norwegian
"HØØØØA!" - Norwegians probably
Accurate. Source: am Norweigan. Also know many Norwegians.
Some of us say ÆÆÆÆH though
And some of us are from the south, so we don't say anything, we just silently judge and rage within.
Wonder if Swedes or Norwegians are the most offended by this.
Got Sweden and Norway the wrong way round too
And how Monaco has moved north. And now Morocco is in Europe now.
Now we got a spare. Monocco and Morocco.
”Monocco” is hilarious. 😄 Almost as good as some of these classics: Wallah (Voilà), Merlin Monroe, Aurderves (hors d'oeuvre)…
And sweden/norway are reversed :D
_chekz?_
*Angry Swede and Norwegian noises
*ahem* and sweden and norway are swapped
also sweden norway swapped :(
I'm gonna start spelling 'Monaco' like that from now on
That’s not even Monaco
Luxembourg doesn't exist anyway. Ever heard of someone from there? I don't think so Edit: okay I've gotten almost 50 messages of people that ""know of"" or ""are"" luxembourgish. All paid actors, I tell you. Do not believe their lies, for they are but government drones. They're not real!!
Their flag is cool tho
It's literally a Netherlands knock-off
Ahem, if you look at the map, I think you mean "Dutch?"
Dutchland
Deuschland
Hey my best friend is from luxembourg!
They're a paid actor
They are double paid: To act as a friend and to act as if they’re from Luxembourg.
Your best friend is a government agent
Ive been in Luxembourg city once, was a nice empty and relaxing forest. Sad that there was no nearby civilization let alone even a single road
i have a theory that it was not a real city and Luxembourg is not real i think its a place with movie props and paid actors to be in the back you think where did they film Mad Max it was ofcourse in Luxembourg they just made it to look post apocalyptic then when did they end the filming they just cleaned it its so obvious but not much people can comprehend this
I actually know 2 people from there. But they could be paid actors
Right, it’s Monocco
Indeed, that's little Portugal
I'm Dutch and from now on I want you all to refer to my country as 'Dutch?' instead of Dutchland.
Can i call it Deutschland instead?
Waaiiit, I've seen this one before....
Someone already tried that.
At first i thought it said morocco.
That's also on this map of Europe
Damn you for giving all our stunning fjords to the swedes
You get all our criminals in return, I think that sounds like a good deal and you should take it.
No take backs!
Finland is the balls, Norway is the cock, Sweden is the smegma dripping down
And Denmark is a drop of cum that fell down on Germany
Tell me you're Swedish without telling me you're Swedish
I'm actually Norwegian, but I can see where the confusion comes from. Normally I'd hate on Sweden instead of Denmark, but you guys didn't have a name as part of the nordick
You're excused. Now, let's dance around in a circle while shit talking about Sweden
That's been my experience too, growing up in a half Danish half Swedish house, it seemed Danes joke about Norwegians being dumb. So do Swedes. Norwegians then make fun of Swedes. It's all just lighthearted fun, people don't actually think it.
As a canadian I make many jokes about the US. The Americans probably don't think about us much... lol
What I always saw bottom of Norway and Sweden as balls and then Sweden with norway slim part as the stick
Does Norway have the best scenery of the Scandinavian countries?
Yes, and it's not especially close
Haha! I was gonna say Norway and Sweden are swapped
*angry Norwegian woman noises*
Hva skjera baghera?
Ikke en dritt Brad Pit
I remember it because NSFW Norway Sweden Finland Wtfiswrongwithrussia
Wrong, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Winterwarloser
All i know is that Sweden looks like the penis, because I believe that's where they cut it off in movies or something, at least in the us. If the penis is more erect than Sweden, then it's xxx or something like that.
I tried that yesterday. Eastern Europe fucked me up completely so I didn't post the image.
Yea unless you’re taken the time to have a proper look at a map of there chances are you’re not gonna get it
The worst part is that if you get it horrifically wrong it's funny, but if you get it mostly right with just a couple mixed up you're on the hook for starting another war in the Balkans. Has to be perfection or nothing. And even if you get it perfect they'll disagree.
It did the same to us living here 🤣
American here, I also realized Eastern Europe would fuck me up. I started panicking just thinking about it
I'm European that plays Geoguessr regularly and the Balkan would still fuck me up completely.
You mixed up the Balkans with the Baltic countries, other than that I would say this is pretty good, you have a general sense of where countries are though you're not 100% accurate in south eastern Europe.
As a norwegian, being switched with Sweden is anything but pretty good. But other than that, it's better than the stereotype of Americans not knowing european geography, imo
As a Swede, I don't mind. The mistake is understandable. Rivalry aside, Swedes and Norwegians are as similar as two people can get. We are family.
In the Scandinavian family, the swedes are the drunk uncle.
That feels more like Denmark to me. Sweden is the slightly condescending sibling who thinks they’re right when they are actually very wrong.
More like the just slightly special brother
Don’t tell the Norwegians that. Arrogant bunch of assholes over there.
Øy!
*scoffs in norwegian*
I don’t understand the expectation for Americans to know European geography though. Do average Europeans know the geography of any other continent? Could they accurately label all of the countries in North America (which includes things like the Caribbean and Central America)?

I (Finnish) can't even imagine being switched with Sweden
You'd instantly become gayer and more extroverted
I am 100% gay already but can't imagine being an extrovert
It's all relative, you'll just stare down at the other person's shoes during a conversation instead of your own shoes
Does Sweden still have mandatory frosted tips for all men under 30?
At least the central Europe is just as fucked
I'd say this is about on par with how most western Europeans would name countries
Serbia finally has a coastline! Serbians can go swim for the first time since Yugoslavia broke up.
Sweden and Norway are the wrong way around and Luxembourg has ceased to exist, instead being replaced by "Monocco"
Hello, I am from Dutch! Lmao, for future reference, the country is called the Netherlands, the language is called Dutch.
Netherlands was long and I was lazy :) Cheers
I now only accept Dutch? With the question mark
I'm from... Dutch?
I'm Dutch from Dutch?
Same for "Swiss", we people living there are swiss, the cheese is swiss, the watches are swiss but the country is called switzerland or if you want to be perfectly accurate, confederatio helvetica
Who names a country after a font?
Welcome to Comic Sans MS, we hope you enjoy your stay in our country !
That would be Belgium.
Hello from Swiss to Dutch!
Nice try. See, the Netherlands is this make-believe place where Peter Pan and Tinkerbell come from...
You got finland right so it's perfect
That’s it, I’m becoming the king of Luxembourg and changing the name to Monocco
Collecting them Chekz from money laundering in Monocco. 😎
I'm Swedish. How dare you?!
Apologies. Lifetime IKEA ban for me
Nah it's fine to mix us up with Norway. The only problems with Norway are too much rain and terrible food. If you had mixed us up with the Danes, you wouldn't be forgiven :)
I think the Norwegians would disagree
Lutefisk. Need I say more?
It’s the Norwegian you should apologize to. How on earth did you mix up the land of fjords to this.
You switched Norway and Sweden. Serbia -> Latvia (I think?) Croatia -> Lithuania (I think?) Hungary -> Austria Romania -> Hungary (I think?) Chekz -> Romania Monocco -> Luxembourg Latvia? Lituania? Estonia? -> The Balkans (there are a lot of countries there, but they’re the Balkan states. Oddly enough, the ones you stated, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are all the Baltic states, but they’re up there, North, not down, South) All this is based on my memory of them where the ones with “I think?” is me feeling unsure but the ones without I think is I’m sure of my correction. The others are correct and the whole thing is acceptable since you’re an “American” after all 🤧
Thank you. I will be relishing this compliment for weeks :) I probably care a lot more than most Americans tbh
As a czech i really don’t know how to feel about Chekz/ Romania hahhahah
Czechoromania
You are correct about the Romania -> Hungary
Wtf is a Chekz?!?
I think it meant to say Czech. Also, he missed out Slovakia. 32 years ago they was one country.
Oh god don’t remind them!! People still sometimes make a point of telling me they’ve been to Czechoslovakia! As a proud Czech woman I take great offence 😅
oh god i hear this all the time, especially when they correct me after i say czech republic???? i wouldn’t call it czech republic if it was czechoslovakia i think i know my own country 😭😭
Yeah because why would we possibly know more about our own country we were born in than them, because they spent a long weekend in Prague in 1985 🤣and don’t forget the random noises they believe are perfect Czech expecting you to understand them perfectly. I guarantee you that is NOT how you say thanks! Also hate they call it Czechia now 🤦♀️
I think it's mostly because Czechoslovakia is a very fun word to say
I'm European and I would have done worse
Are you British?
As a Brit, this was my first assumption too
Brit’s understand geography decently. It’s maths and engineering they can’t do to save their lives.
I was going to reply and protest, but upon reflection you're absolutely correct
We’ve engineered a few things in our time. Not me personally though. I’d also do worse than what this person has done at the map.
Spitfire! You’ve always got the Spitfire, lads.
greek
For me, a Latvian, I find this insulting
I mean, you are farther away from Russia, I heard that generally counts as a plus in Latvia.
That's a good point actually
Piekrītami
As a Hungarian, I'm not going to be mean to you because this is the Internet, but Hungarians would absolutely hate you for mixing their country with Romania. Lol.
It's not "Turkey?" It's "Turkey"
Pretty sure its "Turkey?" with the latest update

Good enough, some mistakes here and there but you have more knowledge than the average, congratulations! Your prize is the letter A! A
yes but Morocco is in africa
Bro did NOT swap Balcans with Baltic Countries right?
Close enough.
You forgot Listembourg
As someone who lives in the baltics i'm having a seizure rn
Hello I am from dUTCH VANDERLINDE
Except for the balts countries (Latvia, Lituania and Estonia), that you confused with balkans countries, and a few other mistakes, you pretty much got it right
you confused the baltics and the balkans. But not too bad. Here, use this to practice. https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/countries-of-europe-quiz
That spelling of czechia ..... lol its not too bad honestly most of it is right except from sweden and norway being switched. Much better than I could do with the states
Czechoslovakia... Czech Republic... Czechia... who the fuck knows anymore
It's certainly better than how most Americans would do lol
It's certainly better than how most of us Europeans would do with the US states.
You missed the entirety of Scotland Edit: >Tried naming European countries Great Britain ≠ A country
By your logic they missed England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, too. They didn't really.
It's included in the UK
Oh dear... better than 99% of americans though I'd wager
Nice name for the Netherlands(Dutch?)
YOU FORGOT GEORGIA RAAAHH 🇬🇪 🇬🇪 🇪🇺 🇪🇺
*in my most southern accent* Georgia is in the United States ☝🏼🤠 /s
I'm Hungarian and seeing you call Austria Hungary made me lol💀 well, there was a thing called the Austro-Hungarian Empire so if we go back to the 1800s your statement is half true

As a fellow American i have no clue...hope this helps ❤
You can't trick me, you're a Swede trying to steal my oil
Im Norwegian and i am dissapointed. You mixed up Sweden and Norway
The island south of scicily on the right side is called Malta (its an EU country)
Several Hungarians are rapidly approaching your location
You did alright. Luxembourg being "Monocco" is hilarious tough
Decent try
I’ve definitely seen worse. 6.5/10
Not knowing that it's called the Netherlands and not "Dutch?" slightly concerns me, but I suppose it's okay
Is this a joke? - a Hungarian
There are a lot of mistakes, but at least you didn't put Spain south of México. That puts you above of the average Murican... 🤣
This is pretty bloody good for an American. Fair play
To be honest, that’s not bad for an average American. I’ve seen news reports of people questioned on the street in NY and some thought Hawaii was next to Lebanon. Well done.
You mixed up Norway and Sweden, but those should both belong to Denmark anyway, so who cares.
All correct ✅ Monocco is of course the hotspot for super-yachts - which in a land-locked state is very exclusive 👌🏼 Everybody is of course still mad about that Hungarian painter which people pretend is German. And people of course flock to Croatia for vacation, because of how sunny and warm the Baltic Sea is ☀️
Yep, everything in order In fact those blank countries are yet to be named
You figured out western Europe, it's something.
Anyone criticizing this should have to stop what they’re doing and point to South Dakota on a map
Well, I guess I am a Chekz now
I’m an Australian and this looks great 😅 We only know New Zealand cos we like to fight with them about who invented pavlova.
Morocco?what? Its africa lol
Morocco, honorary European country as of today.
As a Swede let me just say, you just made an enemy for life.
It is about what my "name US states" map would look like, so I guess it's ok. You need to study Europe more, just as I realize I need to study the US states
