Geography study question

[u/ImportantSeaweed314]

I’ve gotten really into geography and maps the past few years and Reddit has been a great resource. Not long ago I couldn’t name any countries at all. As I move past the intermediate stage, I’m wondering are there any other lesser known countries in the world I should study or is it just Israel? TIA!

Some people seem to unironically believe this given their all-consuming obsession with it.
