The distinction between states is far more important to our day to day lives than anything in Europe is.
You hit the nail on the head there mate.

And what about it? Most know where the US and Russia is because of education, not because they're big and they can hazard a guess.
Because you talk about size and pointing out on a map as defining for geographic knowledge. Of course Europe is confusing for you if you don't even know what the continent contains.
Can you name all of the North American countries?
Of course lol
Because laws and governance focusing on citizenship, ethnicity etc is wildly against the sentiment of equal treatment and value of humans. It's unlawful as well. We don't want an apartheid system.
One of the defining things about citizenship is the right to live in the place you have citizenship.
This one is interesting, because they are proposing to revoke the citizenship and deport them.
The problem is that you're bringing fort that point by making a terrible comparison. This is about countries which US states are not.
A better comparison would have been that Americans have better knowledge about the Caribbean islands than Europe and that Europeans does the opposite.
Oh it's about size you mean? What is is a reasonable size for you to learn where a country is? And I mean, can you even name all the countries in, say Europe, without putting them on a map?
Funny thing about Russia. It's mostly in Asia so I mean you're technically correct but 🤷
Countries, not regions within a country
I could probably place a majority correctly and give a 'about here' for the rest. Sub Saharan Africa, Central America and the Pacific islands (especially) are a weak point.
As a European I can find Sicily, and maybe Lyon but that's only because I've been there. I think you made the first one up
The thing is most Europeans know your local geography. They know which continent, the part of it is the US and where and what (mostly) your capitol is.
To be fair we usually do the same about Africa
Hahaha wow, that was an interesting take. Population is what matters? Well, Israel have nukes for example?
