    This was a little thing I made for my forum, but I thought I'd post it here as well.
    Basically, I read something that said a third of all Americans don't know where Iraq is.

    But hey, lets not just keep it to Iraq! See if you can identify which all of these countries are:

    Oh, and I know you all know how to use Google/Wiki/read an atlas. I'm not interested in that. I want to know which countries you can identify. If you're not going to do it properly, then please don't post, as you'll just ruin it for other people.

    I found it quite hard to do it without any points of reference, and as its not a whole map, I've added in the names of the bigger countries that I assume you know the location of. Sorry for the speedy photshop skills in blocking out the names of the places, it may be a bit blurry on some edges, but that shouldn't matter.

    Again, please don't cheat, but if you do, then don't post <_<

      1- Greece
      2- Kazakstan (I don't think there is a right way to spell it...)
      3- Turkey
      there was no four, five, or six, so I'm going to say Israel and Kuwait are two of them because they didn't get numbers
      10-Iran
      13-Afghanistan
      17-Iraq
      18-Pakistan
      19-Tibet
      20-Egypt
      22-Saudi Arabia
      26-Yemen

      Well that wasn't too bad. I got about half of them.

        Yeah, I seem to have missed out 4,5,6 <_<

        Go check your answers though, I can see at least 5 on your list that are wrong.

          Greece, Tibet and Yemen were wrong. You know you really should just make an answer key for this thing.

                I've been to San Fransico before, does that mean I'm homosexual?

                    Can you atleast post something constructive that is relevant? I thought the map was just fine.


                    I got a majority of them, I got 3 wrong. I checked myself with that link you provided.
