      I took a class in the history of Southeast Asia 50 yrs ago in college and the first thing the professor did was give us a map of the area and make us learn where all of the countries were. I am still really good at placing countries in Asia. Africa is still a bit of a challenge though I have been working on it.

      The reality of every nationality and as such NATION in the world, is that by all means a State IS what a country is. Not only do massive, oppressive federations call themselves "nationalities", they call economically insignifacnt states flyover state, and every STATE beyond the capital city essetnially flyover region.
      This is not normal, this is the political equivalent of Chinese bodunk cities washing their restaurant plates in dirty river water, and it's COMPLETELY normalized. The drafting of political will and tax resources even is built to serve this function, and that's why democracies work the way they do, simply functioning as accountability sinks so that a democratic voter is never accountable.
      For his atrocities that rival dictatorships, when a person with authority makes similar decisions witohut a scapegoat in "the corrupt politicians". Only in democracies are POLITICIANS that black mark on POLITICS, anywhere else like real republicks politics equals diplomacy and NOT the military industrial complex, economy of war. Deomcracy doesn't boil down entirely to voting, but in democracies voting is like food stamps of political power, and it's the ONLY currency that voters trade in that field. It's a ghetto, it's a project housing distirc. THAT is why people have no clue what a country IS, beyond their local governor, a robber baron in a high tower.

      @@NorweiganKarl Let me ask you this, are you caught up on your South American geography, or your African geography? You Europeans think you are all so important that we should know everything about your continent that y’all do. The simple truth is Norway and pretty much any part of Europe that isn’t Western or Central Europe just aren’t an important enough place for us to be able to distinguish between y’all without being told where y’all are from. Americans are never thinking about Norwegians so why would they automatically know when they see one? When you see someone from Thailand would you automatically know they’re from Thailand just from a basic conversation? I want to cap everything off by saying just because I say Norway isn’t important to us doesn’t mean I’m trying say that Norway isn’t important at all. Obviously to Norway and it’s neighbors, they are very important, but that’s not gonna be the case for everyone.

However, I think that the European school system is better, since we are being taught a little bit from every part of the world, not just all about a little place. And I am actually, caught up on some of the things going on in South America and Africa, but I am not caught up on all of it. You prove a valid point, but we over here in Europe are also taught things about the rest of the world.

      Yep, I can relate, I am Brazilian and some guy was telling me, (a Brazilian) that Brazil is in Africa and he would not accept it when I told him that he was wrong... so wrong. And when I first came to the US in 1972, many students, (I was in the 10th grade) seemed to think that I had never seen or ridden in a car, (I was born and raised in São Paulo). I decided to have a bit of fun at their expense and regalled them with stories of "living in the jungle" and "hunting for breakfast". And they ate it up. Their ignorance of their Country and the World in which they live came as a shock to me. I couldn't believe that American kids were so dumb about everything, they also thought that since I lived in Brazil, I must've had some "good weed", I had heard of marijuana in Brazil but had never seen it and didn't know anyone who had even seen it, let alone tried it. That was another shock for me, that crap was EVERYWHERE, pot, pills, hashish, it was mind boggling. I Also thought that American High School was a joke, I was placed in the 10th grade but I had covered it all in a Brazilian School 2 years earlier. Ended up graduating 2 years early. Loved American girls though, WOW! damn! did I love American girls, (still do).

    When I was in grade school in the United States, in the 1960's and 70's, we did learn Geography as a discrete subject. Every year from 4th to 8th grade we covered about 1 continent each. We learned the names of countries and their capitals, the major mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and other geographical features, the climates that could be found there, major agricultural products, and of course we learned to read maps. I don't know why or when we stopped doing that. Of course countries have changed drastically since then.
