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

Yeah it’s still around. Do like “countries of North America,” “countries of South America” etc and work your way up to “countries of the world”

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 🥴
