I guarantee you that absolutely no one in America is going to confuse Italy for "maybe Croatia?". Absolutely everyone knows Italy is the one that looks like a high-heeled boot, and a very large percentage probably have never even heard of Croatia.
7th largest state by population, behind CA, TX, FL, NY, PA, and IL. Might be popular for Europeans because a lot of immigrants go to Ohio.

Oh, we know Ireland, most would often just give them the entire island out of ignorance & laziness tbh.
Sidenote: Ex-USSR bit is pretty effing accurate tho lol
