Starting from India, to the west is Pakistan, north Of Pakistan is Afghanistan, to the west is Iran, with Afghanistan & Pakistan bordering Iran’s eastern border. 8>)

What would be great fun would be to create a “movement” that lobbied to rename Detroit or Baltimore “Wakanda”.

We can make this happen!

Mexican is the language of Mexico also ;)

[Robert DeLong]

Well at least I know where Iran is, once a get a bearing to work from. 8>)

Half the voters wouldn’t be able to locate their own state on a map.

Fairly up-to-date map since it shows South Sudan as separate from Sudan...but it shows Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo as one unit.

I just discovered that the country of Swaziland doesn't exist any more. The king recently renamed it: eSwati.

“I just discovered that the country of Swaziland doesn’t exist any more”

Really? Does Lesotho still exist at least?

Not too many people know about those two tiny ‘kingdoms’.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

LOL!
Knowing where Iran is is half the battle.

[Verginius Rufus]

Apparently Lesotho is still called that. It changed its name once already--it was Basutoland before independence.

I misspelled the other country's name--it should be eSwatini.

The World Almanac 2019, where I discovered the name change, doesn't have anything under Swaziland. You'd think they would have the name and refer the reader to the new name.
