Lines on the map...

Every morning, while I wait for the caffeine to take hold, I play the day's game of Worldle, where one is shown the outline of a country and tries to guess which one it is by its shape. A wrong guess will get an arrow pointing in the direction of the mystery country and the distance in kilometers.

One thing you can tell about the map shapes are that if they consist solely of irregular edges, it's either in East Asia, Europe, or the Americas. Its borders often just sort of... happened ...over time. (Either that or it's an island and Mother Nature drew the boundaries.)

Yesterday's country was Lithuania.

If the country has a ruler-straight border or three? It's in Africa or the Middle East and the borders were arbitrarily drawn by some possibly-inebriated dudes using a map and a straight-edge in Paris or Brussels or someplace in the 19th or early 20th Century.
