For some bizarre reason I just watched a bit of big brother (uk version)..
They set one of the contestants a quick geography test - gave her a blank map of the world with just the country outlines and asked her to identify 7 countries
She got the USA right, and somehow managed to get Brazil too
She thought Sweden was just south of Russia (and she thought Russia was Australia)
She placed Japan right on the west coast of Africa
Iran is now in central Europe somewhere,
Iceland is in china
germany is in central africa!
got a few details slightly wrong, but vid here...
