In other news could you find Tasmania on a map?

Yes Just below Australia.
@tallpowerhouseblonde I’d tend to agree though most people from Tassie would prefer I point out they are actually part of Australia.

Yes, and for finer detail I have an atlas that is quick and convenient to use.
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
Does the map say the country’s names on them?
And even then I could use three guesses
No, I thought I did but I was thinking of Tanzania. I know where they are.

@SW-User most southern point an island but technically a state of the mainland

Ask Americans for the most creative answers 👀

@Elessar That’s both hilarious and terrifying

@Elessar Many are not even logical!

Most placed it in the Middle East, which is fair enough if you don't know much geography anyway or pay little attention to maps displayed in TV and newspaper news reports; but why would any Americans think Iran is in the USA, or Canada?

Or believe Iran is part of the UK or France: two yellow dots are on the English mainland, a third marks the Isles of Scilly; and there are about six in France.

Or is an Atlantic island? One dot is on Rockall, due West of Scotland. British territory, but it is only a tiny, bare-rock, uninhabited islet hardly yards across, the summit of an isolated sea-mount. Most people probably know it only as a meteorological sea-area used in the Shipping [weather] Forecasts.

To be fair I'd be hard-pressed to identify correctly many countries on a map giving only the borders, but at least I have a perfectly good atlas to hand to help me understand world human and natural affairs. For much of the last two months it has stayed open at the mid-Europe page.....

Just below Australia.
@Allelse Seriously? You’re an Aussie
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Notladylike Why is that so surprising?
@Allelse Technically it’s part of Australia. Easy to overlook as a mainlander I know lol
