As an American, I get surprised by US states. Like, wtf, you telling me Arkansas is a state? You mean there's a NEW Mexico? Rhode Island?
Fun fact. New Mexico is older than Mexico. New Mexico was much bigger back then, and named by the Spanish. The US got into a war, and claimed the New Mexico territory, leaving the name the same, and then several years later, the Mexican People declare independence and finally named their country Mexico.
As a European, I'm not surprised by US states, we literally learned them at school.
As a fellow European, you turning an obvious joke into some weird flex on Americans is cringe af.
