If you know these 5 countries, you're good at geography over 99% of the world population

However, to get into the top 1% of " geographic " geography, you must know the countries that do not exist on the map. Or if it is, you must use a magnifying glass to see the tiny dots, symbolizing the country.

Whether it is for many people, whether these countries are officially workers or not is controversial. But behind each of these "countries" is still an interesting story that you will certainly think: "Making a simple country like this is probably going to be a country right away."
