My opinion on US citizens and their knowledge of the world outside their borders is not very high. An opinion based partly on my love for Jeopardy. All too often the contestants showed an abysmal level of ignorance when asked questions that were not centered on the USA. One of the most humourous—to me—was when in a category called World Capitals, a contestant answered Atlanta as the capital of Georgia.
