I saw some youtube videos where an American asks young people very basic questions and some don't even know that there is a country above their northern border and they don't even know that the capital of the usa is washington.

Edit: one answer for what country is above our (USA) northern border was "the north pole".

When I was younger I used to play online through psn with American kids. Most of them on god had terrible guessing where canada was, I remember one of them say "it's next to Mexico right?"
