Briefly forgot about the Americas side of the Pacific, and once AGAIN completely forgot the Philippines. I don't know why I never remember that place.

For me it is the Korea's. I have no clue why. I almost always miss them on the Empty Map quiz.

The only reason I got them now, was because I started thinking about what I always forget when I read this comment

I also forget about the Philippines every damn time...

And Burkina Faso, but that has nothing to do with this quiz.

Good to know there are people with the same struggles

Australia is very close to passing North Korea however, and probably will in the next couple of years.

I have a feeling you didnt get a score you were happy with.
