Vexations in Geography

[Rii]

So recently I've been brushing up on my geography skills via some of the many interactive games/tools/quizzes which litter the web for that purpose.

Having finally managed to nail down all of the nation-states and their overseas territories, I'd henceforth like to advise the following parts of the world that they can fuck right off:

- The Balkans
- Central Asia
- West Africa
- Oceania (minus Australia/New Zealand/Papua New Guinea)

On a happier note, my journey led me to discover, amongst other things, Malé in the Maldives:

I can't imagine why the nation is one of the leading agitators in international fora for action on climate change.

They better start constructing a dome immediately.

The first thing I asked myself when I saw this photo is - what do they do with their sewerage?

According to Wikipedia it's pumped straight into the ocean.

What did you use? Free Rice?

Purpose Games mostly, thing is it's all regional so often places like the Seychelles that aren't conveniently encompassed within a regional/continental bloc are missed.

Trip Advisor is fun for subsequent revision. I'm terrible at most locations within most nations, though. So for a small country like Denmark I'll usually get an error of 50-100km whereas for a large one like United States I'll often be off by 1500km.

Free Rice isn't bad, mainly on account of the rice thing. I notice that at Level 5 it throws you 90% African states. Racist!
