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
