I totally understand where you are coming from ... but my own experience comes from two approaches: meeting yearly with an average of 10,000 + (semi) professionals globally, and also crossing paths with the "average joe/jane" back in the States. Sadly way too many, cannot identify their own State on a map, if it wasn't already labeled for them.

Something to think about ...
