Sadly, my countrymen tend to have this elitist pathology that makes them unbearably thick.
It is one of the reasons I very much wish for an end to American Hegemony. (the UK got over its raging "privilege boner" nearly a century ago. Us in the US? Not so much...)
That said, I can pretty much fill in all the spaces on a european map, and many/most of the spaces on an african or south american map. Asia... Post USSR I just gave up. The area that was formerly Yugoslovia just changes borders too damn often to keep up with.
Funnily enough, I reside in a post-USSR country, although it isn't exactly close to any Southern Slavic countries. It's funny how you'd think people would care more to actually learn at the very least the names of every country considering that we as a human race only inhabit one planet and other countries are basically the only places around us that we can actually visit, and this extends to myself as well (I certainly couldn't name
every country). It doesn't really make as much sense when I type it out this way, but if we view it from the eyes of someone who sees countries as an abstract concept they'd expect every human to know where each area is located. Maybe this is just incoherent babbling.
California, Florida, Texas, Alaska and Hawaii don't count. Now name and place five.
Just northward from Florida (which for arbitrary reasons we will exclude) you have Alabama on the west and Georgia on the east, Mississippi on the west of Alabama, South Calorina to the east of Georgia, North Carolina north-ward from South Carolina.
