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.
I am from the USA but I want to say that for any foreigner who’s seen the movie Groundhog Day (or news about the occasion), the answer is Punxutawney.
Filmed in Woodstock, IL.
My childhood is a lie!
Nevada city, California. Population 3k+. Thanks to my wife’s addiction to christmas movies.
Hey, I’ve been there! Related to Christmas, every year Nevada City has a Victorian Christmas celebration where they all dress fancy and neighboring Grass Valley has Cornish Christmas, that seems to celebrate the working class. Total speculation on my part, I’m guessing in the 1800s all the mine owners lived in Nevada City and all the miners lived in Grass Valley.
Gary Indiana?
It’s weird that 60 years ago Gary would not be considered a small city. Went to shit real fast.
Tbh I don’t even remember why I know the name.
I have zero idea how big any city in the US is beyond “big”. I couldn’t begin to rank them by size
Hell, Michigan. Uniquely memorable, for some reason.
Pflugerville. My mother has lived there for a while. She moved back to Europe when she got pregnant.
Pflugerville is pretty big now, there’s. Lot of industry moving north of Austin.
In other words: who’s played ticket to ride USA?
Hell is always a good answer.
Ask it the other way, too. What’s the smallest European city Americans can name?
Muff, Ireland. They have a fantastic diving club.
Does Avdiikva count?
Vatican City.
I’ve likely seen some smaller ones in places like Tom Scott videos, but can’t name any offhand.
It would have been Fucking, Austria. But it finally broke under the pressure and was renamed. I have not dedicated any brain cells to remembering what exactly its new name is, which I guess is the intended effect.
Stratford-upon-Avon ~100k (had to look up the population)
Or if England no longer counts for European, Corniglia, Italy (part of Cinque de Terra)Probably the smallest that could be called a city is Dieppe, because a Huguenot ancestor of mine was from there. The smallest municipality that I can think of easily is John o’ Groats, which is reasonably well-known for its location.
Amalfi, Italy. My great grandpa was born there, though he immigrated with his family to the US pretty young.
Hell Norway population: 1589
Gimmelwald Switzerland, but I’ve been there a few times and the pretense was never being there lol
Best town in the world.
While flying to NY for a week, I saw some cities on the airplane map that I remember because it was weird to me that there is a “London” in the USA, or a “Berlin”. Apparently, Berlin (New Hampshire) is a city of around 10k inhabitants…
I mainly know big cities and the names of some states.
“London” in the USA,
there’s also London ontario in Canada

There’s no California County in Maryland.
Hollywood is in St. Mary’s county. So is California (also a town, just about 15 minutes down the highway) for that matter.
I’ll be honest with ya, no fucking clue which of them is smaller or not.
Cooter, Missouri
In a similar vein, there is a town in Oklahoma (the foam finger above Texas) called Hooker.
I’ve been there… It should just be called Lot Lizard…
Muldraugh? I guess it has to be somewhat small, it sure feels like it when it’s full of zombies
Nantucket (pop 14,255 according to Wikipedia) and Los Alamos (13,179)
I once knew a man from Nantucket…
Did you, by any chance, call him Ishmael?
