US Level 0

My social media accounts have been lit up today by people posting their US Level and Europe Level scores. US Level and Europe Level are two very simple interactive maps which can score your globetrotting experience by awarding you points based on the number of states or countries you have visited.

Working out your US Level is very easy. All you have to do is click on each U.S. state and choose whether you have Lived, Stayed, Visited, Stopped, Passed, Want to Visit, or Never Been. You are awarded 5 points for having lived in a state, 4 points for having stayed, 3 points for having visited, 2 points for having stopped and 1 point for having passed. Your final US Level is calculated based on your total score.

The US Level and Europe Level maps were inspired by the original China Hegemony Generator. The China Hegemony Generator is a very similar interactive map which can give you a score for your travels in China based on which provinces you have visited.

If you truly are a global trotter then you might want to work out your Global Domination score. The Global Domination Generator is another map inspired by the original China Hegemony Generator. This time however you get to play on the world stage (country placename labels in Chinese). 

If you live in Japan then you might want to try the JapanEx version of this popular new format instead. While travelers in the Philippines can work out their My Philippines Travel Level.

What is the difference between staying and visiting?

That's also my question...like, are we saying stayed is spending at least 1 night, and visited is a day trip in/out of the place?
If that's the case, what the difference between stopped/passed? I had a connecting flight through Minneapolis airportbl once, do I count that as stopped or passed?
I appreciate there being varying levels, but I need some more clarity.

For the sake of clarity can we agree on using the following:

Lived = payed at least a months rent
Stayed = 72 hours or more
Visited = 18 to 72 hours
Stopped = visited a specific attraction
Passed = transported through. Car, train, etc. stoppef for gas, or had a layover.
