Name countries that you frequently forget exist

A spectre is haunting America - the spectre of nationalism.

This thread appears as a invocation of the American nationalistic worldview - that an implied American cultural hegemony makes way for an individual to forget the very existence of other countries. Would not the American be appalled to hear of a foreigner (the Other to them) forget their country's existence? Would they not be shocked to behold one who had never heard trivia on the cultural hubs of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and so on and so forth? They would react as an offended child, scolded for pointing out a falsehood they took to be obvious truth! It is clear to me from this post that instead of a life led by understanding, Americans choose instead the spectre of nationalism as their international helmsman.

I can never remember what the countries are on the NE part of S. America. Two Guyanas and something else.

All the countries west of Nigeria, except for Ghana and Ivory Coast.

Raise your hand if you've ever heard of Tajikistan.

Not sure if this counts, but I always thought Trinidad and Tobago were two different countries. Terrible name for a country.
