I think you could be right about that!
I once over heard a conversation between three women, one of which said she was going on holiday and the others said "don´t they sell women for camels"? and also I have said to friends about going hiking in the mountains and they thought we would be kidnapped. Yes I have also heard people say they think Turkey is full of Arabs!!!
But those people are not really interested in anything much apart from the next new car .............. 
- how do you know that they dont sell women for camels?
- how do you know that they dont kidnap?
- so did you feel smarter than those women?

Can´t speak for others, maybe that´s true. But, Yilgun, weren´t you the one that thought my country is the same as Holland? Does that mean you are not interested in World History as well (my country is famous for it´s rich history in trading in the 17/18th century, also notorious for slavery in Africa/Surinam - no ´e´ Libra!! - and more). What do you know about France, Sweden, Finland, The Civil War in the States and much more? Isn´t it a little short-sighted to call people ´not interested in World History´ just because they don´t know YOUR country well? Maybe these people do know a lot about Australia, Peru, South-East-Asia etc.
I will argue for the "e" as it has an "e" in my atlas and in nearly every map you can find on the internet

Well there are MANY ways you can section the world, this is ONE of them - economically. I would not say China was particularlly "developed" but it has economic wealth. You can also divide them climatically, by continent, by language, by religion......

Still wrong. Suriname is the Dutch word and in that country most people speak Dutch up till now. If you use the local lingo for international names, can I call the UK here than also ´Verenigd Koninkrijk´?
