I admit to an uncomfortable level of geographic ignorance, though certainly not at the level Stichy observed. Part of my problem is that while I learned a good deal of geography in school, that was >50 years ago and things have changed. But also, I tend to know a good deal about the macro-geography of an area I've been to, but relatively less about other places. So I know the general layout of most of Western Europe, East Africa, Antarctica and the Americas, I'm really weak in middle to eastern Europe, and have virtually no idea where the various former USSR states are in relation to each other, with a few exceptions. And my grasp of SE Asia is enough to know which countries are there, in a general way, I'm a bit weak on which borders which though I can pick out a couple on a blank map. Overall - pretty pathetic.
