Hey now, the European map did not require you to name the various regions of each country.
The land masses of the US and Europe are nearly identical (3.7m square miles versus 3.9m) and the number of countries in Europe is identical to the number of states in the US (50). I'm thinking it's a reasonably fair geographical comparison. I'd expect a slight advantage for the US folks, just because of at some point studying WW1 and WW2. The results seem about right really. Pretty much everyone in the US was able to locate the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Russia, with things getting more vague from there. And pretty much everyone in Europe was able to locate California, which is frankly all that really matters.
The GDP is pretty comparable too. 5/3 the population, though.
