Pfft, I got all the Australian ones right. Of course, it helps to have only 7 with three of them having North, West, and South in their names

There are only six states - Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia. There are two territories - The Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. It is very likely that the Northern Territory will become Australia's 7th state one day.

Clearly Katter is right: Australia needs more states to make for more challenging geography quizzes.
Now do Russia.
I had a go at that too. I scored 145 out of 150.
Got three of them on second guesses, and one on the third guess. I made correct guesses first time for 14 of the states, and knew all the rest.
I wonder if there's a similar quiz for the counties and administrative regions of the United Kingdom?

You don't know Virginia? 
Is this like where they are?

I get most the southern states confused with each other. I know which region they are in but am uncertain of exactly which one is which on an unmarked map.

Even though I hate living in Virginia it is actually a pretty interesting place.

One day I reckon will see North Queensland as another state. Also with Northern Territory proposed to become a state, support is being mustered at the moment.

NT declined to become a state a few years back ... pfft, just because we weren't going to give them any senators or something.

Honestly I don't know much about Australia, but I know Queensland is not it's own island.

No love for Illinois, either. Where do you think Chicago comes from?!
Upon further investigation, you have no love for the entire Midwest.

For Illinois I clicked on three states that bordered the Great Lakes. I believe the first one I clicked on was Ohio and that explains why I got Ohio right when it came up soon after. Similar to the southern states, I roughly know which states are in the Midwest but not exactly sure of their location on an unmarked map. I did manage to get 5 out of the 12 Midwest states right on the first guest and another right on the second guest.
Well, hell. I'm not even gonna try it. On my best days I could only name 50 states!
Yes.. It's called New Mexico Magazine... Much like Albuquerque the Magazine, it's designed with tourists in mind, with trendy adds and such.. But it has a lot of great articles about unique NM stuff, book reviews and great recipies..
Linky...
How you doin' Seph? Haven't heard from you in a while... Still living here in the Duke City?
Its funny, I've talked to people about New Mexico before and they say: "Mexico"? I say, no New Mexico, its a state. People don't seem to know the difference!! It just boggles my mind.
RAMA
Had to think of a good way to deliver it. "I thought there were only 50 states!" was way to obvious.
I scored 135 after I got confused on some of the pesky ones in the middle. I got New Mexico and Arizona correct having travelled through them on Route 66.
