That's something kinda sad for them, some sure are stupid, we have stupid people here too, but their education system it's a joke. I can point every country in the world, I can point regions of other countries and I'm pretty sure I can point their states.

You can point out 145 countries? I think you may be one of a few people who can do that. I can point to regions on a map and be confident that the country is in that area. I can point out locations of countries I've been too and others I know of but not all countries of the world!

I used to without no problem maybe I lost a bit of practice with time. I learnt it when I was like 12yo, my ADHD did the rest to hyperfocus into the thing, I would probably have some trouble with some island states from the Pacific. Europe it's easy, the Americas are super easy, Africa it's easy too, Asia it's fairly easy but you can make some mistake in Indochina, dunno, I may have to test myself.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't want to label you and be that person! I am pretty good with Europe and the Americas but as soon as it goes to Asia or Africa I haven't a clue other than the 'main' countries.

Test yourself and if you end up with over 160 then you learn them awhile ago. 😉😄
