States of the US are just like trying to name the states of Germany or County's of the UK
FYI San Diego County is 4/5 the size of Northern Ireland
It certainly is a different type of geographyMay the forza be with you

Re: Americans Try To Place European Countries on a Map
The boundaries and names of the US states have been stable/the same for longer than those of most European countries, so should be easier to name.
You crazy militant Europeans. Always fighting over land and changing locations of borders and names of countries, or splitting countries up. If only you could be as peaceful and content as my American neighbors, the world would be a much better place.

Re: Americans Try To Place European Countries on a Map
It doesn't matter the size of the place. The USA is still only a country like any other.
I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Re: Americans Try To Place European Countries on a Map
It's also relatively easy to find Iceland on a map too. All you need to do is look for a trail of charred mess and destruction wrought by Kerry Katona:
Fun fact: Eyjafjallajökull was what Kerry Katona actually said when she left a pack of Chicken Kievs in the oven for too long. That trail of smoke in 2010... yeah, that's why mums go to Iceland.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
