Click on Region and select "Europe", and try to find Spain or Portugal. Can't find it? Try in Africa.

National Geografic isn´t the only misinformed. Cristabel Colón didn´t know where India was either.

I didn't see what you were talking about at first, but yeah, I see it now. Maybe it was a French person in charge of the map?

I wasn't even aware I had been flagged, did I offend a French person? I wasn't making a general statement about French people, I was just making fun of the rivalry between France and Spain. - Fredbong, Sep 11, 2011

Hola, Lazarus!

That thing's really confusing to use!

Anyway, a little pop-up box showed up when I was on it to report feedback. One of the options was "Missing Content", so I reported "I cannot find Spain". I also entered my e-mail information so I could receive a follow-up report.

Spain is not missing, it´s in Africa! - ianta, Sep 11, 2011
It was the closest thing I could find to "wrong location". - SonrisaDelSol, Sep 11, 2011
As Ianta says, they relocated Spain and Portugal to Africa. - lazarus1907, Sep 11, 2011
