The thought that such a "survey" is not valid without a comparison is correct. But such surveys have been done and find the US population at the bottom of "Western countries"
About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan, to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent.
