No comment about me being as worthy a US citizen as you?

Actually, it doesn't surprise me that poeple from other countries know as much, if not more, than the Americans.
Too many Americans take their lives for granted.

Well, this time it's not so much cultural imperialism, but studying political science. Your regime is an archetype, so I got to study it pretty much in detail.
As to the trivia, what I knew, I got it from 'Poly

“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Of course, 'poly is part of the program. We find stealth nation technology useful, and use it by proxy. Now that Markos has been dealt with, the program can proceed as planned.

I was born here. I wouldn't have to fill out the form, so there's no reason for me to ever know that. Were I trying to become a citizen that would be a different story. All the other questions are pretty general stuff about the history and workings of the government, grade-school knowledge. That form question is specific only to those applying for citizenship.
Perhaps "unfair" is the incorrect term, but it is an unusually specific question applicable only to a given situation among a bunch of general questions, on a website where it will be taken by people who will never be in that situation.
I think it's one of those "instant credit" type of questions, like correctly signing your name on the SAT automatically guarantees you a score of at least 200.
I'm not bothered so much that the non-US Citizens on this board scored so well on the test, but by the knowledge that were Americans to take the tests of other countries, most would probably fail.
I can't speak for all, of course, but I know that I would only be able to answer similar questions for a handful of foreign countries.

No, and I've tried to point out the reason many times, and got argued with about it.
Which kind of goes to my point of many Americans taking their lives for granted.
