      I’m gonna mix most of the interior ones up and totally forget that Montreal isn’t called Quebec.

      Now the hard mode is Mexico. They have enough states to be confusing and not enough presence in English internet to be memorable

        I could have gotten Baja California and Puebla. 50:50 on Yucatán, because Quintana Roo (which I don’t believe I knew existed, even after 11 years of Spanish classes in the US- that’s straight up shameful) is also on the peninsula.

        Holy shit, there’s 31 states. I am going to do some reading because I did not realize how little I knew. I’ve even taken college level Latin American History classes as part of a Spanish minor, but they focused on precolumbian history and American political influence (euphemistically).

      East to west along the US border is Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba?, Alberta?, and BC. I think.

      Then there’s Nunavut. And maybe Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland? I’m realizing I have no idea how many provinces Canada has

      Edit: Looked it up and I definitely missed a few
