I am sure many on here will say "who gives a flip about Africa" but for those who think they know a good bit about world geography, this is a good test. I only got about a third right, but was in the right region on all. I obviously need to study maps a bit more.
Link fixed? Damn.third time a charm?

You should be humbled by your lack of HTML forum code skills.

Somaliland and the Polisario Front would like to register in the strongest possible terms their disagreement with this "test"

Well this was one of the first things that I had to learn to stand the watch at AFRICOM 5 years ago, and I only got about 70%. shite is hard.

27% on Africa which is impressive since I just had a 90% on this quiz last quarter.

And no I didn't have a Wikipedia tab, I just watched/played a shitload of Carmen Sandiego as a kid.
I can never run the table on the world tests, though. West Indies + Oceania + one or two brain farts always frick me over.

49 countries? Our official tally was always 54. I guess the Islands (besides Madagascar) were excluded).

"Ouch!"
I missed some I shouldn't have, but, still, 20%.

Did you know General Ham?

Know him, no? I briefed him on a handful of occasions and met him a few times. He was my second Commander after GEN (now LTG) "Kip" Ward. Ham is a great man with a great story.
I interacted more personally with GEN Ward and think it's kind of a shame how he went out--but rules are rules.
