Holy crap.
I am ashamed. Ashamed!
The middle east I completed okay. Africa... not so much. I'm sure every eight year old in England knows this stuff backwards and forwards. Um, but I could kick those kids' asses, so there.
I feel like I should do this game everyday until I can complete it without resorting to trial and error. If you have concerns about how well you'll perform - I suggest getting drunk before trying this game - so at least you'll have an excuse.

Yeah I can't do this. Especially when I get Sub-Saharan.
For extra fun, try the whole of Africa. If you can do that, you would be in the top 1% of U.S. citizens, I bet.

All I learned about the Africa map was what Landerholm taught us. Eep.
PS I got 19 before I had to trial and error it. Middle East yes, all the -istans, but Africa was a mess past Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco.
PPS Remember http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq which you linked to a long time ago? I still play every once in a while.
I am very ashamed at how little I knew...and we have a huge world map up in our bedroom! Guess I need to study it more.
OK, I had to revert to a little deductive logic, but between (1) my current job focusing on the Middle East; (2) our planned trip to Morocco next month - which has caused me to track all the politics across North Africa veeeery carefully these last months; and (3) a healthy dose of luck, I did not completely embarrass myself. Which only makes me realize that two or three months ago, I knew nothing about 85% of these countries...
OK, I did pretty well with N. Africa, but then it all went to hell when I got to the 'stans.
