so im making a concerted effort to really get on top of my world map and I find most regions relatively easy, based on my historical geopolitical understanding, to figure out where most countries are, but west africa has a lot of relatively smaller states which i really struggle to remember… any tips (apps, books, political stories about the region)? the gambia is goated for being river shaped obviously

central america is also not so easy and the pacific islands (which i haven’t really got around to yet)

      Outside of an Elon Musk brain chip, I’m not sure there is any way around the tried and true learning-by-rote method in this case. Guess you could visit every country, but not many of us have that kind of cash or time.
