Alt text: Even with a blank map, a lot of people can only name 45-50 of the 64 states.

Calm down. Yes, of course there are a few people who can, but fortunately most of them live in that small part of the world that is still outside the US.

That's true. I doubt most U.S. citizens could actually name most of the states or their locations on a map of the U.S. All I'm saying is that if they can, that's pretty impressive - because so many young people today can't even name a country at random.
