Maybe those go hand-in-hand but when I tell you it’s bad, it’s bad. I am the person who is clowned for not recognizing x country on a map

What would be the best way to complete such a feat

up the ante

quit trivia and enter a career in political geography, then you'll almost never be wrong but if you are it'll be 100x more embarrassing

If you hear the name of a country in a news story, look it up on Google Maps

lol I think I may have asked this question wrong (there genuinely might be something wrong with my brain that prevents me from remembering geographic locations), but I will surely try 🥴
