Normally, I ace political geography. I got all those new "Istans", like Turkmenistan, messed up. So I got about 85% right away though.

I had trouble with the old Soviet republics too, though I got Armenia and Azerbijan right out of the chute.

Bahrain, I didn't see a spot for it!

Got most of the "stans" correct... found tiny Bahrain... totally messed up Africa

Here are some great geography puzzles, try the United States puzzle without outlines. Can be pretty tough with those middle America states.

I can usually find the northern hemisphere...if it isn't too foggy.
