Young Americans know little about world geography, with the majority unable to locate Iraq on a map and three quarters unable to find Indonesia, according to a study.... half or fewer unable to identify the states of New York or Ohio on a map.
Does anyone know how these studies are done? Do they hand out maps with just the outlines of countries, or what?

I'm just guessing, but they might be actual results of classroom tests.

I believe so, every home should have a labeled globe; use the 'Net to find the updated names.
