You Know Your States
You got 9/10 correct.
You've got a pretty good handle on US geography.
There's a good chance you've visited at least a dozen of the fifty states.

It's astonishing to think that a lot of people DON'T know this stuff...
You Know Your States
You got 10/10 correct.

This was without using a map for reference. Just my brain. Geography is not properly taught in the United States, and that is a shame.

Well, these are not my states, but I know my states pretty well: 46 of 48 points.
That said, I do not know YOUR states:
You Don't Know Your States
You got 4/10 correct.
So you really don't know the way around the map of the US.
Let's hope you're not American... or if you are, that you've never left your state!

I can name them all in order... but as for locating or knowing which one is more north, etc? No way.

Well - given the fact that I didn't even know Germany HAD states you did pretty damned well! However, I did pick out Germany correctly on the map and know the leader is Angela Merkel. But I don't know her title. PM? President? Chancellor?

It would be freakish if you did know that stuff. It's taken a lifetime of traveling and being a map geek and a NatGeo geek and History Channel geek - and just a geek in general.
That's cool you can name them in order!

This article has a pictures of the autobahns in Germany: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Autobahns
Bundesautobahn. Awesome! Now I understand the network. My gearhead friends will be so impressed!! ! I love learning stuff life that!
That's good news about the speed limit. In some ways, Germany is like the US. In love with cars AND the environment. I've heard the environment is one factor in a speed limit. Its my one huge carbon indulgence.
