How do YOU pronounce the name of the city Johannesburg?

Thank you...me too. People give me a funny look.

Well I'm sure you did a lot better than Trump.   How many countries has he made up so far?

Nambia and Wakanda are two I know of.


There are more fictional African countries than real states on the continent.

This week US president Donald Trump’s “Nambia” became the 111th made-up African country, according to a list dutifully put together by anonymous Wikipedia contributors. In an address to African leaders on the sides of the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 21, Trump mispronounced Namibia not once but twice as Nambia. Once when he greeted the country’s leader, another when he praised its healthcare system.

Twitter users pounced quickly:

However, even though Africa already has 55 countries, the rest of the world, particularly Hollywood, seems to be obsessed with creating new mythical African nations. Most have been deliberately created as new countries for television shows and films for decades. The culprits include writers for children’s animated series, to satirical films, and popular cable TV dramas. Rather than look at a map, they’d just meld to countries together, like Kenyopia or Ligeria.
