Non-Americans know a lot more about America than Americans know about non-America.

1776, that would be the year that independence was declared. But I'm betting you've never heard of 1788 with relation to Australia.

What's Australia?

I know you intended it as a joke, but here's a bit of a test for you. Which of these statements is true, and which are false?

1. Australia has a population of approximately 8 million people.

2. Australia is approximately 3/4 the size of the United States.

3. AC/DC are a world-famous Australian band.

4. Sydney is the capital city of Australia.

5. Australia has a female head of state, female prime minister, and female governor-general.

6. Australia's national anthem can be sung to the tune of the theme song of Gilligan's Island.

1. False. Closer to 25 million, I think.

2. True.

3. Struth!

4. False. Canberra.

5. Maybe true. I only know of Julia Gillard, and besides, I can't tell the difference between male and female Australians.

6. No idea!
