A quiz for US citizens only
Other than the 50 of the United States how many North American states and provinces can you name from memory? There are less than the 50 in the US so should be easy.

6. I've lived in gay marriage-ville, but...
...I had to make the maps for all the Canadian provinces for the truthiness encyclopedia.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even have known there was anything between Maine and Alaska.

4. I can name all the Canadian provinces
as far as the Mexican ones go, I really could care less how a third-world kleptocracy is internally organized.

Good things come from Canada. Nothing comes from Mexico except for problems that cost us lives and money.

5. I could name most, but only because I've a packrat mind. It's trivia, and I'm with Einstein
on that: why spend brainpower memorizing something that can be looked up in seconds if ever needed.
