I can't believe you got banned for that. Also, not really surprised that your average American can't find a given foreign country on a map.
Geographical knowledge is almost entirely useless outside of TV game shows as well. So, I'm not entirely sure why you insist on using it as a measure for the capability of our public school system (which I'll admit is a very poor showing).
I think that once you subtract the cultural and cross-sectional bias from tests like that, you'll find that your average person (regardless of nationality) just isn't very bright.
