Biggest Cities in the U.S. - Extreme

Also LA means Louisiana

94 on 2nd try, but managed to miss Baltimore and Oklahoma City

Do you not watch Workaholics?

While I totally agree that Bielefeld doesn't actually exists, Rancho Cucamonga is somewhere between Los Angeles and San Bernardino (touching two other cities present in the quiz).

When I was young, comedians on TV sometimes made fun of Cucamonga (without adding the Rancho) as a play on "Kookamunga". As in, "That lady was so crazy she must have come from Cucamonga."

I always thought Seattle should label all the onramp signs to I-5 as "To Vancouver."

Not the first one.

Vancouver's also a small city in Washington state. Canada's Vancouver is freaking enormous in comparison.

Kansas City, MO is named for the Kansas River and was actually incorporated as a city before Kansas became a state.

In fact, Kansas City Missouri is much bigger than Kansas City Kansas

Now that's tall.

That seems exceedingly good to me!

Australia is world-recognized for its all-encompassing inclusivity. Just ask any of its indigenous people. (My first-grade teacher told me that when you point your finger at someone else, you have three fingers pointing back at yourself.)

I would say that the Australian Capital Territory isn't a great analogy, as DC is included in this quiz.

A good analogy would probably be including Nuuk in a quiz about Denmark.

"Americans have really strong prejudices toward excluding" their territories. You've apparently drawn this thesis from the exclusion of San Juan on an internet quiz?? Geez.

(And for what it's worth, the equivalent in Australia wouldn't be Canberra because the quiz includes Washington DC, but it would be as if you left out a sizable city on Christmas Island or Norfolk Island, which are external territories)

It's simply the way people pull data. The Census Bureau lists all statistics for the country and then separately for territories. The entire constitutional requirement for a census is for congressional apportionment. Territories are not an integral part of the country. They can and do leave the control of the U.S. The states cannot. (Remember the Civil War?) Puerto Rico has time and time and time again had the opportunity to become a state with full representation or to become an independent nation. They choose instead to be U.S. citizens who don't pay the heavy federal income taxes regular U.S. citizens do, and harbor businesses which get away income tax free as well. I'd gladly save all that money every year not to have a useless congressman. No campaign ads to listen to.

160 on my second try 14 months later. Missed 4 that I guessed the first time.

I started with Alaska, which helped, but still missed Hawaii.

Me.

Gotta love pointless complaining about too many American-based quizzes.

You are welcome to create a quiz of the 200 most populated cities of whatever chaotic country you are the Lord of. City proper, not metro (what are we, animals?)

I mean, this isn't like an American pop culture or general knowledge quiz where you gain a decent advantage from having lived in the country. You can learn cities in the U.S. without living there, in this case, one is not contingent on the other.
