Contains former capital of England,
Tougher. I'll say Hampshire. I've no idea what the former capital is.

Rome was never the capital of England.


It wasn't even the capital of Britania.

I would wager that if you asked average Americans to label a state map they would do even worse.

Ask the kid at the Burger King at Main and Baseline to do it if he is still there. He asked me, "Sir, can you please settle an argument? Is Puerto Rico the 51st or 52nd state?"

Correct. I chose a county that we used for a state name

How about this province?

I might be disqualified.

There's a lot of stuff in Canada. Lots of empty at least...

I think the point was that it is difficult to make fun of Brits who can't label American states when most Americans have massive trouble with British counties, and are very limited with the 10 Canadian provinces (and 3 territories) and their capitals

Or to ask people to name the 13 states then Americans should know the original 4 provinces of the Confederation.

Alas, a majority of Americans cannot name the capital of Canada.
