Americans think North Korea is in Australia. Or China. Or maybe Indonesia.

Until you occur to be Dennis Rodman, or a type of curious people who're completely into the thought of going to a hermit state — North Korea is simply someplace over in Asia.

But with simmering tensions between the U.S. and the nation's chief Kim Jong Un, you'd assume People would at the very least know the situation of the self-reliant socialist state.

However in line with a survey by the New York Times, solely 36 per cent of the 1,746 adults requested knew the place North Korea was. 36 per cent. 

So what have been the places these adults guessed? Properly, they pointed to Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, India, Thailand, Japan, China, Vietnam, the South China Sea... I imply, just about all over the place else on the Asian continent trigger it needs to be there someplace. Proper?

We might make a joke about People not understanding something outdoors of America, however we cannot. The Occasions' map is hilarious sufficient.
