OT - How good is your geographical knowledge?

Drag the country's name onto the map. There is no score or time limit. This is a learning tool so if you make a mistake, no harm, no foul.
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.
-Mark Twain

Lordy :D It must have taken me 100 tries to finally finish it. I only knew the big ones. All of those "stans" really screwed me up, as did the island nations. Well, they all screwed me up, except Egypt, Isreal, Turkey, and California. :D

Its a joke to do our 50 as they are the only ones I really care about. :wink: ----------Sixgun

Like most I got the big ones pretty easy. The stans messed with me too, but didn't take to long.

It took a while for me to finish the puzzle, but I did it. I guess I'm guilty of the "who cares" attitude but at the same time I think way too much of the world is taken up by the Moslem hoards.

most of the countries' names have changed since I was a kid - that's not exactly fair.

Just finished it - got Bahrain last. Elapsed time: 11 hours, 7 minutes.

Thanks to Uncle Sam, I've been to 10 countries on that list. That made it a little easier.

That was fun.

Thanks for posting!

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
