@@laserkiwi7549 I don't think Americans are bad at geography. Quite naturally they just know their states better than europeans and vice versa. It's cool that the egglord managed to figure out the exact location of each country by memory. I would struggle as much as him if I was asked to show the location of every usa state, for example. But an average person from either continents would suck at doing the same task for african countries, nothing wrong with that.

"Watch a boomer struggle with ex-Yugoslavian territories for 30mins straight"
Hes not a boomer, hes a millenial.
Your comment on not knowing hardly anything about Africa was so familiar to me. About six years ago I came to the same realisation, listing those exact same three countries as the only ones I knew. Then I went on Seterra and was amazed at how quickly it was possible to learn this stuff. Hooked on a geography-rush, I went on from there to learn the states, the countries of both Americas, Europe and Asia, and eventually got around to memorise all of the Oceanic island nations. Now all I'm lacking is any real insight or knowledge about the countries that I'm able to place. This minesweeper-no-border extreme version had me real close to raging though.
