Actually, it’s much worse. They watch a lot of american TV series, and see the movies we make and mash that up with the news they get, and we look pretty ridiculous. I guess, it’s a typical xenophobic response. Homo Sapiens is the same thing every where you go, culture and tradition may make a difference in the society but it’s all the same to the evolved ape.
Looks like they are on to us. That’s the way I see it, and I’ve lived here all my life.
What does it mean when my own view of the USA is the same as these alleged Europeans? Like maybe the map was made by an American??? If true, you gotta admire that socialist elite wine sipping edumacation system they got there. ((I have met some incredibly ignorant Europeans. Never heard of Shakespeare for instance, or maybe she was having me on?))
Might be fun to morph the map so that areas well known are larger–ie Wash DC as large as a State and the Dakotas reduced to a reststop?
Those temporal maps are kinda fun.
Yellowstone is in Wyoming, not Montana. Montana has Glacier National Park.
#4. Actually Yellowstone is in 3 states, Idaho too.
So they’re as ignorant of us as we are of them.

witches in Oregon?
I would hope this map isn’t made by an american.
are there people living here that think salem,OR is where the witch trials were held?
OK, I’m a foreigner and this is total BS. WE don’t know anywhere near as much about states outside NY and California.
#6 – this map is a reply to a more famous one that shows how Americans see the rest of the world –

I’ve got a couple friends from Poland and they say a lot of people who meet them say, “Poland? I’ve been to Germany!” or something about Germany.
I agree with Michael most Europeans think of America as: New York (city) / California (LA/San Francisco), Florida (for Disney Land) and the south (full of racists).
I get that, “New Zealander, Huh? You speak English there, too?” And they think we’re in Scandinavia.

West Yellowstone defected?
Hey, Florida’s looking a lot better since they started showing “Cougar Town” on TV here (Ireland).
Another myth about the USA is that they don’t do public transport there. OK, your passenger rail system is third-world, but I’ve ridden buses and light rail in four different US cities, and all were an improvement on Dublin. Cheaper too – I mean, $1.50 to get me all the way across Houston last year? Freaking amazing.
Another way that Americans see Europe is this (via StrangeMaps): http://bit.ly/1OlnN Doh!
PS: why are my comments being flagged as spam? Weird.
There were witches in Oregon? Who knew?
From the Europeans I’ve met there three groups: Californians, New Yorkers (meaning NYC of course) and hicks.
Who really cares about Europe, our backyard is messy enough to keep us busy for the rest of our lives. China, now that’s something to worry about. Mexico, bloodsuckers, enough….
Whatever……………………………….

In truth there are only three places. In order, most important first:
America
Heaven
Everywhere else
Someone forgot about nuclear bombs and UFO’s for New Mexico.
For years, Europeans had a mixed view of Americans as nice, strong, generally well meaning but stupid.
But after eight years of Bush, they now just see us as mean and stupid.
17,
now i KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FAMILY..
WE forgot them.
we even forgot our OWN honor and integrity.
