    I am from Slovakia and I used to live in Japan. Due to my previous experiences in other countries (including in Western Europe), I didn't expect many people to know my country but surprisingly, majority did (and I could tell, that they are not just pretending because it usually led to a further conversation about it). Never asked them to point it on the map though but it's nice to not get a blank stare all the time.

    Very great people, amazing accuracy. My story: I can locate probably every country on the map but here is why. Apart from the fact that I am generally curious and like to learn stuff, when I was a kid (8 years old or so) I spent dozens if not hundreds of hours looking at the earth map, countries map, political map, etc. Why? I was born and lived many years in a communist country and life was very grey, a can of Coke was an extreme luxury, my father salary was 10 USD per month etc. Traveling was banned, it was like a prison. So the world we could see was ONLY on the map (and some movies and books). And I was a curious kid, looking the map, learning all countries, capitals, mountains, rivers etc. I loved it so much that I could spend 4-5 hours looking at a map, dreaming about travelling there, picturing life there, people etc. It was horrible time for my country, but as a kid, I had these simple pleasures and it stayed with me until today :)) Sorry if this is boring, just wanted to share and say thanks to the author and the people who took part in the quiz:)
