    I’m from Germany and my sister once had an exchange student from America coming to our place. I believe it was back in 2015. On the first or second day she was here we had a little conversation about the news, politics and stuff like that. We were really shocked to find out how little she knew about what’s happening in the rest of the world. She then told us that the news in Pennsylvania where she came from and pretty much all over the country just doesn’t report much about anything happening outside of America. After hearing that I couldn’t even blame her tbh. I mean how is she supposed to know if the most reliable sources she has access to act like America is the only country in the world? But I guess that explains why situations such as the one in this video are happening.

      Definitely start saying you're from southern Europe, and if they follow that up with "where in southern Europe?" you can clarify Bosnia. This is good advice for anyone in general who is from a smaller country that most people won't know, just giving the general region you're from (central Asia, Caribbean, west Africa, North Africa, etc) is enough information most people are interested in anyway. It's not even "smaller countries" that have an issue with this, most people are far more ignorant of geography than we realise and it can get really tiring having to teach everyone you meet about where you're from.
