I got all the Gulf states, and even a few former Soviets. But those damn afrikaans…
This post is dedicated to Azamat, my summer school buddy turned pen pal from Kyrgysztan.

Got most of them, had the same trouble as you. A former co-worker, who traveled to several countries when he was younger, mentioned that he was in Chad for a while. Nobody else had a clue what he was talking about. He turned to me as I was walking by, and asked, “Jeff, where’s Chad?” I said, “Africa… north Africa… just below Libya to be exact.” He asked, “How in the heck did you know that?!” Middle school. I remember asking the teacher what country was below Libya as he was explaining the air strikes Reagan ordered on them in 1986.
