Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.

The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.

While flying to NY for a week, I saw some cities on the airplane map that I remember because it was weird to me that there is a "London" in the USA, or a "Berlin". Apparently, Berlin (New Hampshire) is a city of around 10k inhabitants...

I mainly know big cities and the names of some states.

Man, wait till I tell you about Hollywood, California, Maryland.

Thr city is Hollywood. The county is California. The state is Maryland.

There's no California County in Maryland.

Hollywood is in St. Mary’s county. So is California (also a town, just about 15 minutes down the highway) for that matter.
