You can't understand politics, history and economics if you don't understand geography.

Most people can have a working knowledge of these subjects without knowing *any* geography. True, you might not know the *why* of some of these things, especially history, but many people don't care about that. They just want to know what affects them now, not why that came to be.

See, I'm powerful' confident that anyone who can't demonstrate mastery of colorful and exotic world maps has NO clue about anything but that "mouthy bitch bad talking Judge Mathis"
