@@sachooow also responding as an American because I think the comparison across experiences is super interesting (so much variation in education standards). We studied world geography and learned all countries, capitols, major landmarks, etc. However, our schools spent very little time teaching internal American geography under the assumption that we probably already knew it well enough to pass tests. And generally they were correct, I think inter-state geography is very intuitive to a lot of Americans because of how easy and frequent travel between states is. However, I feel that labeling regions within a country/state like the UK isn't necessarily the best comparison to how well we are taught global concepts given the level of detail involved in memorizing territories for every nation. I think maybe a better comparison might be that we spent a bit of time memorizing Canadian providences and Mexican States but never Chinese provinces or Indian states, emphasizing the tendency of curriculums to stress focus on learning regions closer to the US.
