I recently read something saying that an American mistook a Scottish person for someone that lived in America and standing all the jokes beside that I know about Americans and Geography, can I ask all Americans on this bored whether or not this is true? And how the hell does this happen to have the most powerful country in the world, with citizens unable to pinpoint where they are attacking.

Most Americans are bad with geography. Then again, I find most people are idiots regardless of region. I don't think the average person would think that Scotland is in America. That would be a true idiot.

You are surrounded by many different countries, you should be expected to know where they are. We are not. We have 2 other countries in our continent. Many of our states are bigger than entire european countries, but I doubt you know where very many of them are. Most americans know where the major european countries are (the ones that have the biggest impact), but would be lost if they had to point out a trivial nation like belgium or the netherlands.

We know the location of China, Korea, Japan, Egypt, etc. But if you ask us where Latvia is, don't expect much.
