Level 46

Sep 16, 2022

i disagree, how could you not know mexico city? thats why most people typed it in

Level 67

Oct 16, 2023

It's not Mexico City. That's why Mexico DF is filled in but México is not.

Level 30

Level 61

Aug 18, 2016

I know all of Canada... but I got a grand total of 7 on this quiz (there were three or four others that I knew but that slipped my mind)

Level 61

Aug 19, 2016

After a bit of memorization, I managed to consistently get 31 :)

Level 51

Aug 9, 2021

I'm American, I can get all Canadian provinces/territories and their capitals. I can get all Australian states, and I got 11 Mexican states, (also all US states and their capitals but that's not the point here)

Level 36

Jun 19, 2022

I would like to mention that it's no shame to not know states lol. I understand that countries are important to know but who really cares about states and provinces that much outside this website haha?

Level 25

Apr 4, 2017

i do and im mexican too in fact i even know the capitals

Level 35

Aug 27, 2018

Level 41

Mar 17, 2019

Im not American but got 50/50 for the states 😊😊😊

Well Im British and I wonder, do you know any of the 48 counties of England, 22 counties of Wales, 33 counties of Scotland and 6 counties of Northern Ireland. In total, there are 109 counties in the UK. The states would be the four countries. There are no counties of Scotland quiz but 32 councils instead on this site.

Level 75

Sep 16, 2022

Northern Ireland is in the British Isles :)

Don't forget "Warrior", "Saint Louis Potosí", "Resounding", "Hot Sauce" and "Annoying Yappy Dog".

Give me a break.

Level 35

Oct 6, 2022

And "village" too

Level 14

Feb 4, 2013

I spent 3 months in Mexico and most Mexicans seemed to think the US consisted of Texas, New York, California, and Miami. When we told them we were from Alabama they would just look at us funny, clearly having no idea what Alabama is. I bet most of them can't name 8 states is my point.

Level 81

Oct 31, 2014

I encounter people from many countries, and Mexico most especially, that know a lot of American geography because they have family there. The average Mexican probably has at least one family member in at least 20 different states.

Level 76

Oct 31, 2014

I would wager that more Mexicans can name US states than vice versa. After all, once they get here they'll need to be able to get around! I don't know of many Americans who dream of emigrating to Mexico....

Level 71

Mar 22, 2017

Most Mexicans actually don't want to immigrate to the United States. In fact, in 2014, more people moved into Mexico from the United States than vice versa, mostly Mexicans who had previously moved to United States. My point is, most Mexicans probably cannot name American states because they could care less about their northern neighbour, even if the US is the most powerful country in the world.

Level 81

Sep 16, 2022

The years that you could say that, Jiao, were highly anomalous. While it is true that most people in Mexico don't want to move to the US. Most people everywhere don't want to move anywhere. People by nature tend to not want to move.

And now a Map! excellent addition. How do you add a map? I'd love to put one on the Ukraine regions quiz I just made.

Level 61

Dec 21, 2016

You can borrow maps from other quizzes, but I don't think there is any quiz that features a map of Ukrainian regions so you would have to make it yourself. I don't know how to do that, though.

Level 74

Oct 31, 2014

If you're not including Mexico D.F. in the answers, you may want to have it filled in at the beginning. I know you wrote it in the directions, but it still took my tired self a few seconds to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Level 74

Oct 31, 2014

Just substitute in "Chilangolandia". :)

Level 81

Oct 31, 2014

I got those that share names with the capital, a US state, a tiny dog, hot sauce, and a famous peninsula. I also got the one that means village. Missed all the rest.

Level 69

Feb 24, 2024

Nobody asked

Level 86

1. The answer to how many Mexican states I can name is apparently 1. Need to do some studying!

Level 30

Dec 6, 2014

Got Chihuahua, Baja California, Mexico by trying to type 'Mexico city'

Managed to think of Spanish word for new to get Nuevo Leon

Tried Tlateleco, Tlacopan, Texcoco before finally seizing on Tlaxcala

Ashamed of not getting Veracruz, Durango, Tabasco, Hidalgo, Sonora, Chiapas Oaxaca or Yucatan.. Though I spent a lot of time trying to translate some names into Spanish

Level 44

Feb 2, 2015

the one that I missed as a Gringo was Tabasco .. lol I know a lot from collecting cacti.. I also live in AZ .. I see Mexican license plates a lot so I know a lot just from seeing those.. :) Knowing cacti and agaves helps :)

I am Mexican and I have been only in 21 states, Mexico is huge I would like to visit all those diverse places. Btw I got all the answers on this quiz, also all the answers of the US quiz and also the entire world quiz, you dont need to have an specific nationality to have knowledge...

Level 61

Aug 19, 2016

The distinction is that if you live in a country you naturally pick up knowledge of its geography, but to learn the geography of a different country you have to go out of your way to try to learn it. For many of us Americans this quiz is the first time we've ever tried to learn the Mexican states. (Although a depressingly high number of Americans know nothing about their own country's geography, either.)

Level 45

May 30, 2018

thia is about my 6th time trying to memorize mexican provinces. i think ive got them down pretty well.

Level 61

Aug 18, 2016

I only knew the ones near the U.S. border (with the exception of Yucatan)

Level 28

Try the Mexican States in 1824 quiz

After the bruising I just got from the 2020 version? Don't kick a man when he's down, eh?

Level 34

Nov 23, 2017

You should accept Estado de Mexico or State of Mexico as well for the state named Mexico. That's the official name. Thanks!

Level 88

Nov 15, 2018

i got it eventually but it took along time to figure out how to spell aguascalientes

Level 89

Jun 28, 2019

I just did! It took multiple attempts over the course of several months but I'm proud of myself.

Level 56

Jul 13, 2019

I find funny the fact that Tlaxcala is the most forgotten state among all.

Level 45

Aug 12, 2020

Great quiz! I really need to work on these. Quizmaster should add Mexican states on the Countries Visited Map.

Level 59

Sep 14, 2020

how do you pronounce Tlaxcala? is the T silent ?

Level 75

Dec 23, 2020

I may be wrong, but I think it's halfway between 'tl' and 'cl' at the start - put the front half of your tongue on the roof of your mouth and try to say the 't' sound without dropping your tongue down (so the air is pushed out from the back of the tongue), then drop the tongue down normally to make the 'l' sound. Then just add -ashkala.

Maybe a Mexican will correct me, but I know the 't' isn't silent at least.

Level 60

Apr 5, 2021

I wrote tabasco and it didnt work.

Level 48

Jun 1, 2021

maybe you spelled it wrong?

What About Mexico City?

Level 91

Sep 16, 2022

Not a state. It’s basically Mexico’s equivalent to Washington DC.

Level 67

Nov 5, 2022

I find it interesting that foreigners are expected by some to know the states of the US but nobody knows the states of Mexico or any other nation.

I, for one, have been to two Mexican states and find them easy to remember (except for the tiny ones near México)

Level 62

Jan 25, 2023

The fact Tlaxcala is the least guessed state is just so funny to see as a mexican

Level 43

Jan 19, 2024

All of us know that tlacxala is not real, thats why i didnt guessed it, because it doesnt exists. LOL

When I first tried this quiz a few hours ago, I could name 3. (I’m German btw.) But I’ve tried for a few hours now and am now able to type out every state. Great quiz!

Level 56

Sep 12, 2024

I'm currently trying to learn as many sub-divisions as countries as I can during school. I had already known the US and most of Canada (which I finished a while ago) and now I'm trying Mexico. After about maybe an hour across the last week I am consistently getting 13/31 states here.

idk why I posted this comment lol
