If you're in the mood for a bit of a laugh, you might like this video. 
Several teams of two Brits are given a map showing the 50 US states and 
are then given 10 minutes to label all of them. (They are also given a 
list of the states). They made some surprising guesses.

Several other videos in the same vein show up on my recommended list. I 
also saw one where Americans tried to pronounce British place names (NOT 
the easy ones like "London"), and another where Brits tried to pronounce 
American place names (again, NOT the easy ones). They're all in good fun.

I like to think I could label quite a lot of the US states correctly but 
I know I'd have trouble with some. Then again, I'm not sure if most 
Americans would get them all correct either ;-)
