Pick a country or region and tell what misconceptions you had about it.

For me it is Europe and thinking Europe was just "America with different landmarks". Boy was I wrong.

Europe, I used to think Gypsies were a mythical people that were used in video games, stupid button movies, and werewolf stories.

I thought America was good.

Those are my biggest peeves

>we speak some African languages

Who the fuck thinks that? Maybe anyone outside the Americas would think that but from all the damn Caribbean vacation commercials here we would probably consider it the most sophisticated place on Earth.

No, it's the opening village of fable 2

Jordan; sounded like ME shithole, but really nice people (except for those merchants) and very beautiful culture/nature.

Ireland has native gypsies. We call them travelers or tinkers. They will steal your copper and try to sell it back to you.

>>55680792

So that's what leprechauns are!

Why the fuck is Iceland a part of North America that makes me really mad actually, at least the other things like missing islands can be explained by laziness but that's not even American levels of stupid, this map has to have been made by a Nigerian or something desu.
>>
>>55681161
Iceland lies on the fault line between the North American plate and Eurasian plate and the most populated side faces North America.
>>
>>55681230
If we're defining continents like that, what about the Arabian and Caribbean plate? Even if you use that bullshit reasoning, it's still a shitty map. Iceland is way more European than North America, and almost every map correctly labels it as European/
>>
>>55681304
Based on what, culture? That's nonsense too or you could add the entire west to Europe.
>>
>>55681123
kek

but no, fucking traveling pikeys

pieces of shit will steal any piece of metal not nailed down
>>
>>55681349
Obviously. Continents are pretty poorly defined anyway, but at least it makes more since to put Iceland with Europe because of culture, rather than putting it in North America. It's a mixture of both, honestly, culture and geography.
>>
africa, i thought that region in the picture is just randomly colored black without reason whatsoever
