    When you heard of North Dakota it didn't strike you there might be a South Dakota?

    Fairly good at naming them, less good at pointing them out on the map.

    I'm one of those rare freaks who can name all fifty no bother. I'm always hoping something US state related comes up in pub quizzes.

    Couldn't point them out on a map to save my life, but can usually name 45+ off the top of my head.

    North Dakota is greatest of all Dakotas. It's basically a communist state by US standards with a state owned bank and flour industry, fair taxation and low unemployment.

    I've been to South Dakota. Very picturesque state in the Great Plains ... Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Black Hills and Crazy Horse National Monument.

    Worthwhile on a road trip.

    Hot in summer. Very cold in winter

    A few small cities. Mainly rural.

    Bordered by North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota

    Some people think that Wyoming is an actual country.

    Even then its still like a mix of Maoist China & the first French Republic compared to Texas.
