Other than the upper peninsula lol

Nope! Incest should be bigger

Washington: why the hell is the city of Washington not in Washington?

There's also Washington Island. It's nowhere near Washington state or DC. It's in Lake Michigan, and is part of Wisconsin, not Michigan.

On that last point, George Washington is still considered the most popular president of the USA. In his own time he would come to cities and people (all of them) would swarm the streets. When the Constitution was signed Washington was in retirement, but the writers of the Constitution assumed Washington would be the first President. There were roughly 8 candidates running for the position, Washington wasn't one of them, and when Washington announced he would come out of retirement the other candidates dropped out of the running. Washington won the first election unanimously.

A lot of Europeans don't realize this, but the Constitution wasn't the first government of the new USA. First there was the Articles of Confederation which went from 1777-1789 so Washington had been gone for quite some time and was still so popular.

It's not at all surprising that it's one of the most popular landmark names in the US (street and city names).

Some other popular names include Lafayette, MLK, Lincoln, and Jackson, Jefferson, and Madison.

Washington's name is everywhere because there was this guy named Washington and he did some cool things a couple hundred years ago.

Robocop and Seattle for Frasier.

And yet there's nothing else in the UP, besides cold, and you will note it is a dark blue.

I've always had this criticism of pornhub

Pretty bad comparison

• size is irrelevant
• american states are provinces, not countries. how many americans know the provinces of Germany?
• identifying states when most of them are just rectangles is damn annoying

yeah, but for example: Luxembourg - the last grand duchy in the world, one of four institutional seats of the european union, capital city is an UNESCO world heritage site, has a 1000 years of history.

Idaho - potatoes. wait... maybe it's Iowa? or Ohio?

edit: really seems like people can't take a joke, lmao

As a born Seattlite, all I can say is this town ain't big enough for the two of us pardner.

Isn't that the incest part? From my european point of view at least half of the "new york" part should probably be either "cowboy" and or "incest".

This is totally believable, but Europeans don't think that America is more incestuous than Europe. They think that that part of America is more incestuous than the rest of America.

Yes.

Cowboy, incest, and gator.

They bring the incest, of course

As a European with a higher than average interest in North America, I can say with some confidence that Europeans don't think about the Upper Peninsula at all.

We forgot to tell Europe about those 2.
