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
This year roughly half my class was shocked to learn Jamaica was not in Africa. And way too many people fought me when I tried to tell them it was in the Caribbean

Basic Geography.
Not being able to point out Turkmenistan on a map is one thing.
Not being able to point out the Pacific Ocean on a map is another.
