Unless you think Panama counts, but Panama is technically North America.

I know because I know all the countries in the world.

Also France because French Guyana is, well, French.
But if you count these that's just nasty because they're not South American countries.

There's a quiz on Sporcle with all 197 countries in the world as of now, I often get all of them and I do it like once a month.
I struggle more with capitals, usually get only 120 at most.

I know all the countries in the world too, in the sense that I have heard of them.

Bringing them to mind is the issue.

I almost always got 10/10's in school at topography. It was my favorite subject after maths.

According to Wiki it's Trinidad and Tobago but that's in the Caribbean.

The only few ones I'm not sure of where they belong are Israel (Europe or Asia?), Azerbaijan/Georgia/Armenia (Europe or Asia again?)... that's all. Not even Maldives as a potential African country, or Seychelles the other way around.
