So I was having a conversation with some folks and found that estimations of where Wales was on a map were wildly inaccurate. Now far be it from me to accuse folks of not knowing their geography; I couldn't find Bosnia on a map if you paid me. Still, the only thing that came to mind was this:

Poor Wales.

I used to think Lithuania was an African country. Ditto Ukraine.

orz;; and I can't label more than 8 states on a map of America.

Most people don't know the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland either... the English and the Scots are too loud to ignore, but everyone forgets quiet ol' Wales...

I was the library nerd, in the corner with the fantasy novels.

Then you get those people who think we're all just the one place all the time forever. Those guys are weird. Poor poor poor little Wales ;a;

I never went to the Library after my first year of highschool - socially comfortable I aint.

Because borders never change or anything you guys. Screw you guys, he'll be over here drinking some cider and getting no international action whatsoever. Scotland is screwing France, England is screwing Portugal, Ireland is screwing everyone because she's pimp like that, and Wales is Forever Alone. Northern Ireland is too young to get any.

Ah, nobody went in the library at my school, so it was a pretty safe place to be for avoiding people.

excuse the rp account ma'am

Fuck yeah britain - is there anything we can't do?

Our librarian lady figured herself as some kind of queen bee of social activity among the school's cool kids. It was kinda sad really. Mainly creepy, though.

Only if you excuse mine in return.

Like each other?

Yeah that's pretty creepy. Scratch that it's really creepy. I was in the library so often when I was younger the librarian would just leave. I scanned the books for her. I was the librarian. 8|

I guess. I don't think we can hold onto empires very well either.

That's cute, our Librarian was always there like some kind of robot. She might have been a robot if she didn't get preggers that one time.

Lithuania does have the "African" colour scheme in the flag, so you have an excuse. Uh. Ukraine, though . . . that's just weird. XD

I don't think most Americans could pick out 8 states on a map, once you cut off the pointy bits. Even the ones who were forced to memorize them in school.

I think I might be able to name all of the US East and West coast states.... It's all of the central states that get me confused. :/ (Well, except Texas, Tennessee and Louisiana because they have interesting shapes! XD)

Ack! Don't feel bad! They're always time to learn something new... and Hetalia makes learning that much more fun~ :3

Hehe, I knew where Wales was. I don't even have a problem with Eastern Europe, but I fail at South American Geographie and even worse for Africa ^^

Everyone can take pride in knowing where the country of sheep Wales is. I'm actually better at South American Geography than Eastern Europe... and Europe is my continent! What does that say about me...

Aww, Wales. *pat pat* I've known where you are since I was like 14, if it helps? ^^

I have a never ending project to memorize all the countries of the world and their locations. xD; I just keep forgetting them after a while. I've found that it's easier when you actually know something about the damn places. I had so much trouble with Africa but now I kinda know something about it so... And I can divide it into parts which is good because North-Africa is totally different from South-Africa, for example and you can pick out the formerly French areas and the formerly British areas and currently Arabic areas and non-Arabic areas... It also helps to be a map-fanatic like me. orz *always needs to check where things are happening when she reads a book or the news or anything* Oh and Hetalia helps too. A lot. 8D

Btw, Pidge, you need to check out my comment on The King's Speech. You totally missed it or something.

Poor Wales, but he would get mistaken.. a LOT!

But in all honesty I was an idiot as a child and thought that Portugal was an Island somewhere East of England not West and... a lot of Geography fails and then I actually TOOK Geography as a lesson... so yeah... *sweatdrop*

But I have to say the biggest Geography fail I've EVER heard was when someone mistook Denmark as being the Capital of IKEA...

Ahahaha, I knew where Wales is because I used to go on holiday there...couldn't tell you where places in Wales are though. My geography is messed up though, I can name a load of places in America but I only have a shaky grasp of Irish geography, which is...kind of shameful OTL
