Zaragoza: couldnt find\n\nMerida: couldnt find\n\nMexico: After the Mexica branch of the Aztecs. The origin of the term "Mexxica" remains uncertain. Some take it as the old Nahuatl word for the sun. Others say it derived from the name of the leader Mexitli. Yet others simply ascribe it to a type of weed that grows in Lake Texcoco. Leon Portilla suggests that it means "navel of the moon" from Nahuatl metztli (moon) and xictli (navel). Alternatively, it could mean "navel of the maguey" (Nahuatl metl). \n\nCatalonia: couldnt find\n\nItaly: From Latin Italia, the name having entered Latin from a non-Latin source. The etymology of Italia probably directly relates to an ancient Greek word italos (bull), from PIE *wet; the Greek word follows the sound-changes from Proto-Indo-European to Greek, but the Latin equivalent vitulus (young bull) from this root, does not. Speakers of ancient Oscan called Italy Viteliu, also from PIE *wet. Varro wrote that the region got its name from the excellence and abundance of its cattle (italos, "bull" hence italia). Some disagree with this etymology. Compare Italus. \nFriagi or Friaz' in Old Russian: from the Byzantine appellation for the medieval Franks. \nValland (variant in Icelandic): land of "valer", (an Old Norse name for Celts, later also used for the Romanized tribes). \nWłochy (Polish) and Olaszország (Hungarian): from Gothic walh, the same root as in Valland, see details under "Wallachia" below.\n\nRome: "Roman Realm". The Roman Empire conquered a large part of the territory of the country, and the inhabitants became Romanized (Romanians). Older variants of the name include "Rumania" and (in a French-influenced spelling) "Roumania". Compare the origin of the name of the Sultanate of Rüm. \nDacia, older name and Latin variant: named after the ancient people the Dacians. \nWallachia, Slavic name for the country, from the Gothic word for Celts (walh), later also used for the Romanized tribes. This Germanic form derives from the name of the Celtic tribe of Volcae. Compare with the etymologies of the names "Wales" and "Wallonia". \n\nLondon: couldnt find\n\nCambridge: couldnt find\n\nNormandy: couldnt find\n\nYucatan: couldnt find\n\nBrazil: Named after the brazilwood tree, so-named because its reddish wood resembled the color of red-hot embers (brasil in Portuguese).

I'm not gonna lie most Americans suck horribly in geography to say the least. I'm from Lithuania, and I could probably count how many times somebody knew where that is, most of the time I just get a blank stare, or "Oh, yeah! I know where that is"... hmmm... yeah, sure you do. Some ppl at least guess close enough to say that it's near Russian... Sadly too many think it's part of the Soviet Union... Just one thing, there is no more Soviet Union!

England for a start. We use feet, inches, pounds, miles and stone, we're rather resistant to the metric system. America uses some of it I believe with things liek miles and lbs but i think slowly they're turning to metric more and more. The rest of Europe is very strictly metric, leading the way is France
