The Top 10 Countries Most People Have Never Heard Of
Where in the World?
National Geographic once conducted a survey among people ages 18-24 in nine countries to test their geography skills. Of those 9 countries, Mexico came in last, but rounding out the bottom rungs were The U.S., Canada and the UK. Don’t we all feel like Super-Powers now? In an attempt to catch us all up and repair our wounded sense of superiority, here’s my list of countries no one has ever heard of. I hadn’t heard of most of these countries either. I had to look them up, which isn’t easy when you don’t know what you’re looking for.
