I think Delaware has lost its position as most overlooked state

From a foreigner's perspective I would say one of the Dakotas

I tried to remember every US state and write them down as I went.
I got 49 before I gave up, the ones that took the longest to remember were Virginia, west Virginia, new jersey and Tennessee. The one I couldn't remember before I quit was Utah.

i've looked it up a bunch of times already but will never commit to memory what the difference is between:

london, england, the uk, britain, great britain, etc

i'm also born and raised in nyc and now live in LA and couldn't name more than ~18 states to save my life

Politically, the United Kingdom is the nation. The UK is divided into the four "countries" (basically states) of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each "country" has its own capital. London is both the capital of England and the capital of the UK.

Geographically, England, Wales and Scotland make up the island of Britain, which is the big one. Northern Ireland is the northern end of the second biggest, the island of Ireland. Britain, Ireland and the surrounding islands make up Great Britain.

The Republic of Ireland is most (for now) of the island of Ireland, which means it's located within Great Britain geographically, but is not part of the UK politically. The Republic is part of the EU, while the UK, and therefore NI, is not.

Unless i'm mistaken, and that would be bad because I live here, Great Britain is just the bigger landmass of the two British isles. So Wales, Scotland and England.

Great Britain: The big island on the right of Ireland

The UK: Great Britain + everything else including the stolen bit of Ireland

British isles: Ireland and Great Britain. NOT a nation or political entity. It's a geographic term for the two islands together

Smh I learned the aforementioned fifty nifty when I was ten and now all the states, IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, are in my brain forever. Your elementary school chorus teachers were complete fools.

Also y’all keep forgetting that Europe also knows about Chicago (not where it is, but they do know the city). I know this to be true because whenever I’ve been there and someone asks where I’m from, 90% of the time I get either “Ah! Al Capone!” Or “Ah! Blues Brothers!”

The other ten percent have either been to O’Hare or have been to the actual city, and all of those note that “very big people, no?”

I've been to 48 of the 50 states, and when I get my second vaccine today I can start planning on visiting the last two on my list.

And for those wondering, Kansas and Indiana are tied for the most boring states.

The midwest is called that because it was the west like 200 years ago when there were less states. Instead of looking this up, I'll just assume a bunch of people will correct me.
