Oh I know that’s more than the average American would know. But I’m not sure how much it matters. I have family who are very well educated, and have been to the UK. One of whom even studied at Cambridge. I polled them all on this question and none could articulate it entirely. Though most had some part of it correct. Everyone in this group knew England is part of the UK.

That’s not to say they’re dumb or anything, it’s just that that knowledge isn’t really important to the average American. There’s not really a reason for them to know it.

While small details like that might not be important to the average American, I think that most Americans having little to no personal exposure to anything outside the U.S. is in part responsible for many of the bad electoral outcomes that the country has had.

Someone from Utah taking a roadtrip to Idaho isn't as culturally enriching as someone from Czechia visiting Portugal. While Europe's cultural diversity and geography make such contact easier, it's a shame that many Americans base their worldview around nationalism.
