When I was in Europe as a student, everybody wanted to know what state I was from, so I got used to answering that way. Surprisingly, everybody seemed to know all the U.S. states, and had pretty strong mental associations with a lot of them. I'm from Texas, and to them, that meant horses and cowboys and George Strait and "howdy, y'all!"

Arizona -> Lots of sun and hot. Florida -> beach and spaces. Kansas -> Big corn farms. Massachusetts -> US version of Europe. Missouri -> Rivers.
