Test your Geography Skills!

You know the geography around your area. Ask me to place the 50 states and I will do it easily. Ask an Iraqi to do it, and they will not be able to do it.
 
Didn't do well at all 😱

<--Sets a goal to learn the geography of the area 🙂
 
All I was thinking as I was trying libya is its got to be close to russia cuz they're a bunch of psycho commies that drive demolition trucks into buildings in Red Alert!

Exactly. Most (most) people will be able to tell you the general area most of these places are in... but what does it matter if you know the names and exact locations of all these countries? Half of them sound the same anyway. How many canadians can label all 50 states? How many Europeans could do that?

Unless you are really into the politics of the situation, why does it matter?
 
I was able to correctly place the following countries: Morocco, Western Sahara, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan. Not bad for your average American, but I should know more since I used to live in Turkey 😉
 
It was much easier than I thought. I was lost on two of them. That damn island is so small I didn't even know I was missing a country.
