Okay, feeling a bit better; I named all fifty states from memory in a little less than three and a half minutes. Granted, not really something most other Americans can do, but I doubt there's many Canadians can do it, either.
Well, you're ahead of me on that front. I don't think I ever learned the names of counties in England. Countries in South America, yeah, countries on other continents, but not internal divisions of England. I can get some of Ireland's counties, though, mostly 'cos my own family hails from Tyrone and thus the 26 + 6 division's sort of in the back of thoughts about the country. But that's it for the British Isles for me.

After thinking about it for a bit: 15
Counties in England I can name off the top of my head: 11
After thinking about it for a bit: 17
Counties I named with 'shire' on the end: 9
I was planning on concluding something from all this, but I can't remember what.

Have to say, this brain-wracking is far more fun than I'd though 'twould be!

I got up to 46 in 5 and a bit minutes, and I'm not American nor have I ever lived in the US.
