On the quasi continental US, geography isn’t even part of the curricula at the public school systems nationwide . The American system has national standards , but funding is highly regionalized , so curricula consistency beyond reading and math is very uneven.
Reading maps , knowing trivia country / Capital , a knowledge infused at home , very seldom is practiced on US households.
That being the ABCs , it then evolves to GEO economics , climate patterns , type of vegetation and all of that is highly individualized knowledge only driven by one’s desire to learn. Geopolitics is the advanced form of this learning curve.
Just don’t feel bad, and ignore the sneering remarks of “ Americans are Geography Iliterate”, mostly spouted or sneered from Europeans.
If only Mr Zeihan’s rise in popularity soars , then American Educators might pay more attention to Geopolitics and start to consider Geography as a standard mandatory curricular subject .
Your admission is a positive step, no less.
