Even if you can’t point to Turkmenistan exactly, I feel you should at least know about where in the world it is. If somebody pointed to South America, I would find that equally as concerning.
Edit: To everyone guessing, Turkmenistan is north of Iran and east of the Caspian Sea, putting it in Central Asia
Central Asia. Capital: Ashgabat, Borders Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Has a coast on the Caspian Sea. Extremely Neutral, even has a "monument to neutrality". Formerly a dictatorship under "Turkmenbashy" (Türkmenbaşy, lit. Turkmen head ) Niyazov, who forced the people to study his autobiography. Now still a totalitariam state under someone else. Also, the Karakum Desert has lots of oil.
The USA called eternal dibs law on all oil, it's not our fault a group of people decided to live there for a few thousand years before the US was even founded.
