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!
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.
Hell, Michigan. Uniquely memorable, for some reason.
I’ll be honest with ya, no fucking clue which of them is smaller or not.
Pflugerville. My mother has lived there for a while. She moved back to Europe when she got pregnant.
In other words: who’s played ticket to ride USA?
Ask it the other way, too. What’s the smallest European city Americans can name?
Muff, Ireland. They have a fantastic diving club.
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.
Well, as a consolation there is Rottenegg in Germany. Not nearly as catchy though.
Amalfi, Italy. My great grandpa was born there, though he immigrated with his family to the US pretty young.
Vatican City.
I’ve likely seen some smaller ones in places like Tom Scott videos, but can’t name any offhand.
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)Gimmelwald Switzerland, but I’ve been there a few times and the pretense was never being there lol
Best town in the world.
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.
Hell Norway population: 1589
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?
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.
Cooter, Missouri
I visited NYC for less than a week.
Des Moines , Iowa.
For Canada it’s probably Sherbrooke or
jonviveJonquière.Bonus game: name the linking theme and specific things that link those places. Hint: it’s not french things.
EDIT: Famous metal bands come from there. Slipknot from Des Moines, Gorguts from Sherbrooke, Voivod from Jonquiere
For me it’s mostly places in the middle of nowhere that popped up on Google Maps because they had the same name as a city this side of the pond that I was looking for. I know there are several tiny Londons, a tiny Prague, and iirc even a tiny Poland
Saganough, Michigan, for the sono. Not sure how small it is.
Saganough, Michigan, for the sono. Not sure how small it is.
Saginaw, Michigan had a population of 44,202 in the 2020 census.
How old is this crowd? No one knows Luckenbach?
Bluff, Utah. Met a bloke online who told a joke off it, which only made sense after searching for “A bland bluff in Utah.” Which brought up another town.
