Middle East Geography Test.

It's surprisingly hard. Quite the challenge. 🙂 Post how you did when you're done!

 

[Howard]

Uh... complete?

 

[BeauJangles]

Got every one except Niger and the one next to it 🙁

EDIT: by that I mean I didn't know which was which

 

[XZeroII]

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.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

didnt do so hot in the african countries...never been too good with them

 

[Zim Hosein]

Didn't do well at all 😱

<--Sets a goal to learn the geography of the area 🙂

 

[BennyD]

it took me about 8 tries to get "bahrain" in the right place

 

[wake]

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 can't believe I remembered where U.A.E is located.

 

[Ryan]

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 😉

 

[Spac3d]

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.

 

[LordRaiden]

Yeah, that's one small country. A tiny island in the middle of a bunch of really big ones. 😀

 

[SOSTrooper]

I couldnt do half of them.... I only know the biggies.

 

[GoodToGo]

My knowledge of Central Asia was very poor🙁 Otherwise did pretty well in all the other areas🙂

 

[HombrePequeno]

I messed up on the four northern 'stans.

 

[Scouzer]

Had trouble with all the former USSR countries. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.
