Calling for your personal images from the continent of South America!

Yeah, people, in general, are really bad at relative size and orientations of things on maps. Pick some geographic subset of things and try and draw it.

Go draw like, the middle east. Or the countries of Africa. Or the US states. or the river you live nearest to. try and draw it from memory.
In general, most people don't just get it a little inaccurate, they just flat out fuck it up. Not even just missing some detail on the exact size or rotation but like, absolutely boning up even basic locations.
It's pretty normal and it's the reason geography bees are the other thing kids do in "bee" format after spelling bees. People generally don't know a lot about geography.
