    Like those are very fake sounding names, I am continually surprised by how easily tricked some people are.

      Maybe they make more sense in whatever the local language is, although Westarctica seems pretty blatant. Under the right circumstances I probably wouldn’t question it if someone told me Seborga was a province in Sokovia or something like that. I wouldn’t think I could get a job there, though.

      I always say most people are fucking morons, and unfortunately, it’s the truth. Obviously, in some cases, potentially like this, it’s not somebody’s fault, maybe from lack of education, but the reality is still true. People are fucking not smart.
