Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.

The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.

Probably Boring, Oregon. It is twinned with a town near me called Dull

My general geography of the States is alright due to a bunch of American friends and a girlfriend, but definitely not great

Drove through there (Boring) an hour ago. It's a cute place

I have passed through Dull only once, and it was unintentional. It's in a beautiful area, though! While there's not really anything to see in Dull itself - it's basically just a collection of about thirty houses - it definitely has the views

I think if I'm ever in Oregon I'll have to take a little pilgrimage to Boring. Oregon seems cool. Same goes for Bland in Australia, since it joined the little club. They call it the Trinity of Tedium.
