Eh, I guess it's a question of "do I need this in my life"? I didn't try to understand the differences before starting to consider moving to Ireland.

I couldn't recite all states of the US if my life depended on it. I am not even entirely sure how many there are, just that there are at least 50 (I think). I can somewhat point out where Texas, California, and Florida are, but New England? Is that even a state?

Geography is something you know when you need it, or when you're interested in it.

New England is just a region of the north eastern states like New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Basically all of the states that nobody has been to unless they have gone to Boston LOL.

See, that's just bullshit to confuse Europeans. :P
