How many African countries can you identify on a map?

I posted this question, and I answered the Can you identify all 50 American states on a map? question, to point out that it isn’t just Americans that are geographically challenged: we retain, and can pick out on a map, what is familiar to us, whether we’re Americans or Zaireans.

I did better than I expected, but still not great.

OK, how’d I do?
