I mean, it exists on social media (so there’s that). There was a case where an American woman screamed at a French baker for refusing a crisp $20 bill as payment despite the fact she’s literally in France (where Euros are used as the main currency).

The stupidest one was from where an American guy was arrested in the UK for having open carry (firearms) where gun laws are strict, him using the excuse of “I don’t know the laws around here” didn’t work since he should’ve researched that beforehand.

    There is only Burgerland

    There is also Burgenland.

    A region in Austria (where you might know, or not, they don’t have kangaroos), and now when I read your ‘Burgerland’, it made me think if they already know that word analogy there, maybe?

      There is also Burgenlandkreis (Castle County) in the german state Saxony-Anhalt.

      I got quite a few times confused when someone referenced Burgenland, Austria before I learned about it.
