I'd bet most british people couldn't fill that in accurately. I'd have everything around Yorkshire and London done, with 'the south' filling up everything between Derbyshire and France

The better challenge would be to have Americans fill in the states without cheating. You'd get Texas, California, and Florida filled in by most, followed by "wow you can't even locate your own state on a map."

Then I saw it was Brits who filled out the maps and I felt  again.

Then again I work with insurance products with in a major nationwide firm so I have to look up state laws and licensing information pretty much daily all of which comes from clicking on states on a map.

Missed that county, yeah. That's England. Wales always throws me off, I can never remember if they actually exist in our universe, or in a parallel universe without vowels. I'm that guy who is kind of a geography nerd, though. I memorized all the US states and their postal abbreviations back in school. Now I work at UPS, so something I learned is getting used in everdyay life! (Unlike calculus. gently caress you calculus.)
