[quote]According to the newspaper, the results came as a huge surprise. Another surprise is that almost half of all Poles do not know where Lithuania is. A mere 27 per cent of the survey’s participants associated Lithuania with Adam Mickiewicz’s ‘Pan Tadeusz’ (Adomas Mickevičius ‘Ponas Tadas’).[/quote]

That's pretty funny considering Poland used to be the dominant party behind the PLC.

Culturally, yes.
But kings were mostly foreign, and country were ruled by nobility, most influential of them were Lithuanians ( for example, Radvilos).
Does [I]anyone[/I] know where the fuck Lithuania is?
I did not know where Lithuania is, but hey, I don't know where half of the countries are anyways.

Well, the people mentality here is like this:
To the west we have our enemy, the germans, and to the east we have our enemy, the russians
I shit you not.
I work with a guy who came from Poland when he was ~17 or so. I asked him where it was and he answered accurately.
Then when I showed him the source he commented that: "Gazeta Wyborcza is the polish newspaper version of foxnews."

In America, the mentality is: poor people south, snow/maple syrup north, dirty commies way over west, tophats and monacles way over east.

I'm an American and I know where they are, albeit I aced geography and got a bullshit "holy shit youre not a fuckup" merit reward for it. You create stupid little shit to remember where and which countries are which. Like Lithuania for example; its alphabetical as you go south. E-stonia, La-tiva, Li-thuania. Norway, Sweden, Finland are easy as shit too, remember them as NSF(w)
Or just play assloads of Total War games

my favourite one is that Croatia looks like a c.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;40492326]hmmm?[/QUOTE]
Just the nasty one about Poles being dumb in general.
What were you expecting something fantastic? lol
Actually I always mix up Latvia and Luthuania, 100%
I think the stereotype he's mentioning how many refer to it as the shit hole of europe (that's what I've heard)

Eh, in Denmark, we usually bunch all them lil' ones together as "The Baltics", then ignore them completely; and sometimes mix them up with "The Balkans" because of the very-slightly-similar-sounding names.
