I usually look what state get most of the spam posts from around the world.
Some states/cities get spam all the times, other don't get spam at all. Those must be lesser known, worldwide...lol
i think in europe where i lived before moving to usa in 90s is california and that is it
people dont really know about states then because no internet but it was only california and cities like chicago or new york l.a. or san francisko. probably different these days but then it was in my neighborhood just california and cities
People in Europe learn world geography in the schools, so they generally know at least the most "important" US states and cities.
They might not desire to visit some, though...
I think people in Europe have better idea about the US and the world geography that people in the US know about Europe and the world.

The stand out areas in terms of tourism in relation to Britons are New York City, Florida, New England, California and Las Vegas.
However I know where most states are and could find them on a map.

You're British...I'm agreeing with you, sounds spot on.
OP mentioning "around the world"....imagine asking people in countries
in Africa, Asia, even South America....the average person would not know very many
US states ....maybe California, Texas, Florida, and New York state...and some would not
even know those states.

I think you might have a more confused answer if you ask people in non-western countries or from the Pacific
In terms of Europe, the Eastern coast of the US is easier to get to and involves less flying, and the same applies to Florida when compared to California. However California and places such as Las Vegas are still popular.
Those flying in to the US from the Pacific rather than Atlantic may have a different perspective entirely.

It doesn't seem so, given the responses by those people in this thread. I think it's the other way around, people in the U.S. seem to know more about the rest of the world than the rest of the world knows about us.

What I've noticed in recent years is that there are less tourists in the U.S. from abroad who are doing things like traveling Route 66 or who have a real interest in U.S. history such as the Old West, etc. And it seems everyone in the U.S. nowadays wishes to flaunt their knowledge of the rest of the world by going on trips to far-flung and obscure places around the world. They try to outdo each other with their knowledge of these places.
The trend with everything in the U.S. over the last two decades or so is to be authentic and to have lots of knowledge in everything, such as food. People in the U.S. actively seek out the most unique places and things that they can find from around the world.
At the same time the rest of the world has become increasingly anti-American and resentful of the U.S. having any influence over their lives and parts of the world. The rest of the world seems much more indifferent and hostile to anything American nowadays. That is causing the reduction of interest in the United States and its history and thus knowledge of the country.
I truly think things have done a complete 180 in this century.
People know New York as a city, not as a state. It’s Paris. Nobody knows Ile de France. People know Frankfurt, not Hesse.
Of the lower 48, I’ll go with Florida, California, and Texas.
