One of my cousins is a geologist, and travels around the world for work. LOTS of visits to the areas around the former USSR.
Whenever we ask him anything about where he's going over there, he says the same thing: "Wheretheheckistan"
Bottom line is, Noa's right. (There's a pattern to that, anyone else notice?) There are so many new names for places we thought we knew, and other places that really didn't exist when we were studying those maps in school, that it's no wonder we can't keep up.
But do watch the Games to see how Wheretheheckistan does.
