Pretty impressive. Trying to name the subnational provinces or states of another country generally doesn't go well and some of these are pretty close to getting all of them. Just going up north to our neighbor Canada withs its provinces or south to our neighbor Mexico with its states would stump most people here.
Honestly if an American high school student were to do the same test and label the states, I think the results would be shamefully dreadful. Geography is not a strong pint on the American education radar.
I'm sure they'd do pretty good, probably just mess up on the New England and Mountain west states unless the live in those regions
Aren't American states more popular and well known compared to Germany states French and Canadian provinces and Russian oblasts?
Yes they are ! Thanks mostly to American films and TV shows. Most people a bit aware of the American culture could point the main states like California, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Hawaii, Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, and so on.. But ask some random people about Washington, and 99% of the people would get it wrong.

Yea Washington state gets confused with DC a lot with outsiders.
If you even search Washington on Google Maps it takes you to DC
Glad they did this, helps show that the stereotype that we're so ignorant about World Geography is just a bunch of crap.
