I'm now starting to learn how little I know

OK, I'm taking a quiz on how well I know the countries of the world:


The quiz gives you three goes but I decided it would be cheap to allow three times. Same with random guessing. If I don't know exactly where the country is, next question it is. It doesn't tell me how much I really know if I guess, considering the challenge is to name a blank map. You can't go guessing there.

I decided I would learn a comparatively small continent first however, just to make myself feel better. I can now ace South America. It has 13 only thirteen countries, I know, but it feels great that I can name a continent.

But on to the test. Asia and middle east have some overlap, a few aren't recognised as sovereign states, and I think it misses out North America considering the small amount of countries there. Anyway, I'd hope I could get a third or something. But...well...reality is a little different...

SOUTH AMERICA: 13/13 (yay!)
AFRICA: 7/54 (what?)
ASIA: 10/32 (a little better?)
MIDDLE EAST: 4/25 (or not...)
AUSTRALIA/OCEANIA: 3/32 (and I live here...)
EUROPE: 10/48 (...)
CARIBBEAN 0/22 (ok, that's just stupid)
CENTRAL AMERICA 0/7 (as is that)

TOTAL: 47/233

OK, I suck at geography. Need. To. Get. Better. Now.
