When I don't know where to start, I start with Uruguay. Most of the time Uruguay is far away from the real answer, but this time I was surprisingly close--close enough to be able to determine the target country was in South America. A few hops led me to the right answer.
(Answer: Afghanistan)
This a country many Americans ought to know about, if they pay any attention to international news.

Many people are shocked to discover that the Wakhan Corridor shares a border with China!
