Yes, Ryan, the order of the states definitely has an impact. I got Kansas for my 1st state -- whew! A square-ish state in the middle of the country -- tough.
Capitals would be hard. Would you have to name them AND place them?

This reminded me of my nightmare 9th grade geography test. We were given a blank map of the US and had to fill in the states AND the capitals.

94%
Average error: 10 miles
379 seconds
Most of the seconds and error came on my second state--Wyoming! Without anything else in place (except Delaware) it was tricky to place. The rest of my placements were right on, so I spent my time working my way down from Wyoming's bad location.
