Gaza & the West Bank as two individual "countries" threw me for a while - I kept trying Palestine or Palestinian Territories. Also the map of the SE Asian countries is off -- the placement of the names don't appear in the most accurate places. And Hong Kong was a surprise.
Funny thing is, I was primed for this meme. Just a couple of weeks ago, when the problems in Myanmar started, I went to Google Earth to learn about the geography Myanmar. Ended up memorizing all of the countries of SE Asia. So when this LJ meme came along, I aleady had part of Asia memorized.
This has been great. As a result of this meme, I've finally got the "stans" down, can identify Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan as a grouping, and place the Maldives on a map.
