aha. got it right because i played these games a bunch before my first (and only) trip to africa. drag the countries by outline onto their place in the map, so hard!
I don't cheat! And then I realised I was getting confused between Trinidad and Tobago, neither of which bear any relation to Togo (also between Togo and toga, which was also not very helpful) . . . and then I wondered about alternate universes and whether laner had made it up . . . I did veer vaguely (oh so hopefully) towards Africa, then looked again at all the options given and admit defeat rather fretfully . . . pads off to look it up
i have realized recently that i am not as good at geography as i thought. i have misplaced several countries lately, and found several that i thought no longer existed.
cce, i will conquer those games one day! i know where swaziland is, at least... i do mix up the "n" countries, though... namibia versus niger versus nigeria, and then there is algiers versus algeria... and so many others.
then again, i am also unsure where arkansas is... i am as bad at the midwest as i am with africa... sigh...

Thanks Jeopardy! I wouldn't have known this one if I hadn't recently seen it on TV. Sad, huh?
I will admit to a bit of luck in getting it right. I knew the continent, but not whereabouts.
Mentally tossed a coin between east and west Africa. Lucky me :-)!
Thanks for the question - my geography skills can always do with a little boost.

ah well... I was right by Latitude and only a few hundred miles out by Longitude, and it did rattle me. Well done :0)
