It's from a UK institution. I'd be surprised if the average member of that institution could distinguish US cities either. I assure you that people in coastal US cities are fully capable of distinguishing the mountainy place where there's legal weed from the flat place where there's corn. As a former midwesterner though, wouldn't feel confident about assuring you of anything more than that. Except during election season. For like 3 weeks everyone suddenly becomes an expert on Iowa and Ohio.
An old but relevant meme titled "how non-Americans see america":

- crocodiletears 6y agoGood points, and that meme is far too real.
- rsynnott 6y agoThat's completely inaccurate! There's also Seattle, a wet place filled with radio psychiatrists. And the place down the bottom where they make meth in big underground factories. That's about it though. (Being serious, I think it's probably a bit less of a thing nowadays, but when I was a kid my impression of the US was very much that it was ~three cities plus a scary bit in the south somewhere).
