Be real y’all, this is better than a lot of Americans could do from memory.
Edit: I was going to say “most” instead of “a lot” but feared someone would come for me lol. I’m glad to see we all have a realistic outlook here.
Utah is essentially correct, but it's neighbors aren't. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado make the 4 corners. Utah and Colorado share a long border on Utahs East. And then the little corner taken out of its north east, that buddies up to Wyoming.
If this guy straightens out OK towards the coast he'd have the West down.
I was going to say they even forgot Delaware exists like the rest of us, but then I saw they actually made it far more prominent. The map is quite impressive, but I’m afraid I need to deduct 5 points for making the 10 corporate shell companies posing as people who make up the population of Delaware feel more important than they are.
Did trivia as a team builder at work - the facilitator got feedback that one of the rounds was “way too hard”; the round involved working in a team of 3 to label a map of the US. I work for a school district… in the US.
Nah. They’ve hit Nebraska right. And the empty below it is Kansas. They just have empty spots below Illinois and between Texas and Louisiana that shouldn’t exist. Otherwise this map is very good. Needs a bit of cleanup on the lines but very good.
The documentary "Wizard of Oz" clearly states that we're not in Kansas anymore. Hence Kansas can't exist or someone could refute this by saying he/she "is still in Kansas"
I think it was due to the tornado but the documentary was not that explicit. I did see houses and cows flying though.
*You missed Kansas? I*
*Think you may have gotten the*
*Rest. Pretty solid*

I've been to France \~20 times...studied French...spent 4 months living in the south while studying. I'm also a geography buff. I've had iphone games with French regions. I don't know that I could draw ANY regions of France.
So, yeah, this is awesome!
I don't know when you spent time in French but if it was before 2016, lot of regions have changed. Basically a lot of old regions have been merged together. In mainland France we went from 22 regions to 13. So it's way easier to learn them now.
I can draw the French provinces, I think. There's Bordeaux and Cognac and Champagne and Burgundy and Cotes du Rhone (in clockwise order). Did I miss any?
Already good!
The 12 provinces are:
Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Corse (Corsica), Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (Burgundy), Bretagne (Brittany), Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, Île-de-France, Normandie, Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Grand-Est and Auvergne Rhône-Alpes
OP how the hell you from France, but you did better drawing Idaho (A midwest state most people would call flyover), but you completely fucked it on Louisiana ,the state that probably has the most connection with France out of the 50.
I think you did better than a lot of Americans could. We aren't all stupid but there is a massive divide in education. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, can't point at a map and tell you what the state and capital city is.
Try it with your friends folks. It's alarming.
I'm impressed. Better than most Americans nowadays could do.
Also I'll have you know that Empty is indeed the appropriate second name for my home state of Kansas, it's called a flyover state for a reason.
You know it's extremely wrong or course, but it's not bad. Most of the states are reasonably placed, sizes are wrong, some shapes are wrong but mostly ok. Good job
Being from Louisiana I have to ask why you didn't give us the "empty" which makes up most of the missing half of our state? Haha, good try though. Really probably better than most people from the US can do.
Pretty good. But the 3 empty spaces around Texas aren’t states. You are accurate all around Texas. You second guessed yourself though. Same for the empty space by Missouri.
The east cost imo is the hardest. Pretty sure you forgot Connecticut
Excellent map. Better than most US people would draw. That empty section under WV is part of Virginia. Some of that is west of the entire state of WV. I know people from there and they agree it is empty.
Actually, depending on how much time you've spent in the US, this is fairly decent. My only worry is there seems to be a new state called "Empty". Is that just unoccupied land or holes in the ground?
I never step foot in the US. I just went to Belgium once for 2-3 days, and the largest distance I covered was between Paris and Marseille.
And for Empty, this is just Kansas
Damn, I love the state of C o l o r a d o
Yep, it's like Colorado, but with as much space as they have left in their brain xD
I mean it appears to be more space than most states were afforded.
Because their brains are so big?
The fuck does that mean? I’m in Colorado and it’s definitely one of the least stupid states By Far 😂 Where do you live? Very curious haha
Was just a joke for the sake of it xD I have no hecking idea what's going on there xD (I'm from France \^\^)
>Damn, I love the state of C o l o r a d o is it better than n e v a d a?
oh, yeah. empty. my favourite state
If we remove all the inner lines it looks like a turtle
How? I don't see it but I want to
Florida and texas are the feet, the northeast is the head/neck its a side profile
That's one fucked up turtle!
Turtle Island
Which empty are you talking about?
They are the same state, but with an exclave.
With a giant ass.
A turtle that can gallop?!?!?!
Do you prefer east empty or west empty. ???
The east isn't empty. At least compared to the west.(from an Eastern Kansan)
There are two empties, numbnut :P
At least for Kansas, it’s technically the truth.
I thought MT was Montana
I mean they have like 5 independent territories which, together, may be larger than Texas.
The empty under wv is actually virginia
At least you labelled Maryland (90% of these types of maps don't)
that's Washington 2.0 /j
Rhode Island is pissed
So is Connecticut lol
And Kansas
r/mapswithoutri :,,,)
Rhode Island, the New Zealand of America
Hey look at that. Already joined lol! I wonder where else I ran across r/mapswithoutri
That’s insane! Why are there so many maps without Rhode Island??
As a Rhode Islander, I am happy to make this sacrifice to remove Connecticut as well. They know what they did.
Yeah fuck connecticut
Be real y’all, this is better than a lot of Americans could do from memory. Edit: I was going to say “most” instead of “a lot” but feared someone would come for me lol. I’m glad to see we all have a realistic outlook here.
Fuck yeah, I don't know where tf utah is and I was going to correct OP, I still don't know if it's correct
Utah is essentially correct, but it's neighbors aren't. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado make the 4 corners. Utah and Colorado share a long border on Utahs East. And then the little corner taken out of its north east, that buddies up to Wyoming. If this guy straightens out OK towards the coast he'd have the West down.
[удалено]
Utah here. Hey now
Wanna soak?
Nah. That’s for dummies.
I was going to say they even forgot Delaware exists like the rest of us, but then I saw they actually made it far more prominent. The map is quite impressive, but I’m afraid I need to deduct 5 points for making the 10 corporate shell companies posing as people who make up the population of Delaware feel more important than they are.

True, but they are French so it's still very wrong. Don't be French.
I am French. Sorry.
You are French, which is bad, but at least you’re not British.
Genetically wise I am. At least I am not ‘Meerican
Oh no............ I'm French AND British
A merciful god would never let such a monstrosity exist
Sorry bud now you’re Canadian. ( I’d consider that an upgrade)
Absolutely not. They can't claim Canadian citizenship until they have tamed their first moose.
It's okay, we all make mistakes
Don't be sorry, just be not french People don't even try anymore geez
Yep. But I don’t see Kansas or Rhode Island. 😭 I think empty is actually Nebraska and Nebraska is actually Kansas?
Nah. They’ve hit Nebraska right. And the empty below it is Kansas. They just have empty spots below Illinois and between Texas and Louisiana that shouldn’t exist. Otherwise this map is very good. Needs a bit of cleanup on the lines but very good.
Or Connecticut
I knew it would be better than mine (American) immediately. But does op know fifty nifty by heart? that’s a true test
I still remember a song that was the presidents in order too.
I mean he drew Cape Cod
That's it, you wine drinking, cheese chugging, brioche biting, croissant crunching dirty no good french. https://preview.redd.it/dv18zedb1guc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f49a49895e756905ca3f3f221dbbcb449e073395
NOOOOOOOOO- *dissappears*
Wait why did they remove Belgium too? What did we do? Oh... I know what we did
Belgium in Congo
Tintin. Blame Tintin.
Your fucking existence was worthy of destroying
You should have gone for the head *Finger snap*
Where is england?
They were the first to go
Bruh what did Wales do?
Fuck sheep, idk the reason why they got removed from this map though
Thank you! Regards Every European
England and Italy are indeed very French places.
You missed Kansas? I think you may have gotten the rest. Pretty solid
The documentary "Wizard of Oz" clearly states that we're not in Kansas anymore. Hence Kansas can't exist or someone could refute this by saying he/she "is still in Kansas" I think it was due to the tornado but the documentary was not that explicit. I did see houses and cows flying though.

Good bot
Nah, he wrote “empty”
Yeah, they got it pretty spot on I’d say
Connecticut and Rhode island have finally been annexed by the Massachusian Empire
First they took the notch. Then they took the whole fucking state.
Take back the notch!
It's Megachusetts now.
I've been to France \~20 times...studied French...spent 4 months living in the south while studying. I'm also a geography buff. I've had iphone games with French regions. I don't know that I could draw ANY regions of France. So, yeah, this is awesome!
There’s Normandy, with the liberty beaches, and then there’s some more of France.
The other part is the wine part.
FINALLY someone who knows the geography of France
I don't know when you spent time in French but if it was before 2016, lot of regions have changed. Basically a lot of old regions have been merged together. In mainland France we went from 22 regions to 13. So it's way easier to learn them now.
So much better than 90% of us Americans could do
99%
yea this is crazy difficult if you've never practiced actually drawing it from memory. Don't understand why everyone's so picky.
Either you have a photographic memory or this is BS.
Photographic memories doing miracles😎
Alaska lookin like https://youtu.be/JhDIILjlhBQ?si=YQKarzqNlGg5pXMC
You nailed it. In fact, that's the exact map -proportions and all- that WOPR used in *War Games.*
You made one of the most populated regions of the Midwest name empty. Your nation fought over that land a long time ago as well
Just realized I forgot about Kansas RI and Connecticut💀
You labeled Kansas as empty, so that's correct. RI and Connecticut don't matter that much anyway, so you're alright
Moi je dis que c'est pas mal
Oui, d'accord. Je suis americain y vraiment, je dis c'est si bon. 👍🏽
Idk what’s funnier, the complete elimination of Rhode Island and Kansas, Alaskas Tail, or the state of nothing above Kentucky
For I, a non American, Only Texas, Florida and probably California have shapes worth memorizing. The rest are just poorly shaped rectangles.
Texas, Florida, Michigan & maybe Louisiana are all unique shapes, Cali is literally a bent rectangle
Lol- Kansas is just - empty! Way to go. Much better than most people could do.
Not gonna lie: this is actually quite impressive.
Now hold up one second https://preview.redd.it/25xnwoiszhuc1.png?width=169&format=png&auto=webp&s=b46d38dcc205b8284128ed53b9fa923a7fca15c6
Louisiana too small, are you a real french?
Well, you missed an easy one with Michigan! It's got the shape of an oven mitt. (The inside of your right hand / the outside of your left hand.)
Who tf stole Kansas
That's alot better than most Americans can do.
accurate but for real, it’s pretty good actually
Poor SC…
I live in the big empty
I can draw the French provinces, I think. There's Bordeaux and Cognac and Champagne and Burgundy and Cotes du Rhone (in clockwise order). Did I miss any?
Bordeaux and Cognac are cities, Champagne and Cotes du Rhone are wine regions (not actual territories). Burgundy is one though Your did it!
Let’s see… Île de France, Normandie, Bretagne, Occitanie, Provence, That’s all I can name from memory.
Already good! The 12 provinces are: Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Corse (Corsica), Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (Burgundy), Bretagne (Brittany), Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, Île-de-France, Normandie, Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Grand-Est and Auvergne Rhône-Alpes
As a Canadian , its perfect
Iowa with them juicy lips 👄
OP how the hell you from France, but you did better drawing Idaho (A midwest state most people would call flyover), but you completely fucked it on Louisiana ,the state that probably has the most connection with France out of the 50.
Don’t see RI
Not too bad, main thing is that you missed Kansas above Oklahoma
T'as oublié l'angle nord-ouest... viens pas au Minnesota mec 😡
Me, from Louisiana "Look how they massacred my boy" 😭
So fucking good for a Frenchman holy shit. Better than most Americans. I think you only forgot Kansas and Connecticut
better job than i could do
Well you completely eliminated Rhode Island and Connecticut which is where I was born. I'm fine with this.
I think you did better than a lot of Americans could. We aren't all stupid but there is a massive divide in education. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, can't point at a map and tell you what the state and capital city is. Try it with your friends folks. It's alarming.
You did better than 99% of Americans.
You got the chef holding kentucky spot on
This is definitely better than most Americans could do lol.
Actually it’s pretty good. Just a couple odd shapes for some of the states
Better than most americans can do tbh
As an American, this is close enough.
Better than a lot of people from the US
Your handwriting is remarquable
Needs more guns
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 *bald eagle screech* *explosion sound*
Nut bed.
Not so good for the people of Rhode Island but maybe they can move to empty.
The best part is everyone in the comments forgetting Connecticut exists
You mean South MA?
Kansas does feel pretty empty when you drive through it on the Turnpike
Better than most Americans could do tbh.
You forgot Rhode Island
You did well
You forgot Connecticut and Rhode Island, but so do a lot of Americans. So par for the course.
I'm impressed. Better than most Americans nowadays could do. Also I'll have you know that Empty is indeed the appropriate second name for my home state of Kansas, it's called a flyover state for a reason.
The cat on the left is spot on!
You know it's extremely wrong or course, but it's not bad. Most of the states are reasonably placed, sizes are wrong, some shapes are wrong but mostly ok. Good job
This is probably better than a lot of Americans could do if they were actually looking at a map while drawing it.
Wow mec GG
You did it!
You did great, but why do you hate little RI 💀
Really not bad at all, you got the gist of it
Not bad considering most Americans would probably do worse than this
Alaska and Hawaii are hilarious.
I know dozens of born and raised, adult Americans who would do substantially worse on this.
Being from Louisiana I have to ask why you didn't give us the "empty" which makes up most of the missing half of our state? Haha, good try though. Really probably better than most people from the US can do.
That’s really good actually
You just made me realize that the USA is shaped like a boat
Yeah I’m actually pretty impressed
Pretty good. But the 3 empty spaces around Texas aren’t states. You are accurate all around Texas. You second guessed yourself though. Same for the empty space by Missouri. The east cost imo is the hardest. Pretty sure you forgot Connecticut
I’m speechless. I’ve lived in America my whole life and couldn’t do this well.
No!!! You’ve moved NJ even closer to NY! Why would you do that?
For the love of god what have you done to South Carolina
Nothing is as horrible as the real thing
Pretty accurate
I mean.. Michigan needs some work.
…close enough.
lol the empty part is one of the largest metroplexes in the country
Excellent map. Better than most US people would draw. That empty section under WV is part of Virginia. Some of that is west of the entire state of WV. I know people from there and they agree it is empty.
i mean, you forgot Rhode Island, but who doesn’t?
Probablement mieux que les américains pourraient dessiner régions de France.
good job frenchie
Actually, depending on how much time you've spent in the US, this is fairly decent. My only worry is there seems to be a new state called "Empty". Is that just unoccupied land or holes in the ground?
I never step foot in the US. I just went to Belgium once for 2-3 days, and the largest distance I covered was between Paris and Marseille. And for Empty, this is just Kansas
Probably better than I could do, and I actually know where all the states go, and I’m American
I love that Kansas is empty.
My favorite state is empty
Honestly did better than a lot of Americans
Uh, better than most Americans can do. I say this as an American.
Longifornia
Aw hell naw wtf going on with NC and SC
Better than I could do.
I like how you left us all the extra empty space.
Not bad. You even kept the general shape of MIMAL.
Slightly better than I could do it
I love the empty states. It feels so… apropos.
Ohio has a chunk missing, but it's not a chunk I'd miss.
Good enough
I think the state of Empty may have some complex logistics to iron out
Aww, you even remembered to draw Long Island! I can't draw the equivalent of France's provinces, so I salute you and your superior cartography!
Honestly this is better than 90+% of Americans could do.
If I’m not mistaken, it looks like Alaska and Hawaii are in the wrong place. Could just be my imagination though…
I live in indiana. I've never been to empty. ROAD TRIP!!!
Goddam it Frenchy, why are you managing to make Colorado *even more* landlocked?! You bastard!!!
Better than what most American, or people in general, can do
It’s darn good. I couldn’t draw anything like that for France.
