I can't speak to southeast Asia, but Europeans know more than a few of our states. I have teenage relatives in Russia who are fully aware of Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, etc.
I have told some Europeans that buck teeth and sloped foreheads usually indicate West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, et al.
Yea most Europeans I’ve met are more knowledgeable about US geography than Asians I’ve known. However they tend to be as clueless as to how fucking vast this country is or that despite our flag waving how we identify with our State often more than our nation or that the cultural differences in the different regions are large.
I can remember visiting my brother in Naples, FL who had a lovely British couple visiting him. To make a long story short we got along very well and they asked where I lived as they had a couple days before they had to leave and would like to visit me. I was living in Arkansas at the time and and they were completely clueless that it was a two and a half day drive.
