Easy. It's Atlantis. Not only Americans would fail here, also ancient Greeks because they located Atlantis somewhere in the Aegean sea where an undersea quake sunk a couple of islands. Claiming Atlantis was lost and can't be found, of course, is cheap. It takes the illuminated mind of a trained alchemist to see the truth behind the blindwork of the temple knights and the dark forces of the Vatican.

Americans might do better on average at Ancient Greek geography than Ancient Greeks would at American geography, but it’d be close.

It's the Euro-wan aka: 欧湾
Mainland Europe has always claimed it as the inseperable(不可分割)part of the European Union, meanwhile, the ruling government of Euro-wan, the Union of Europe, insists its a separate independent country. Some residents of Euro-wan are trying to rename the country into Republic of Euro-wan
If you ask me, is it a country?
Sorry I don't want to hurt the feelings of the 400 Million+ Mainland Europeans. No comment.

That island would probably have amazing weather
Ehhhh, not in fall. Hurricanes sometimes curl up that way, along with a bunch of Saharan dust.
Still sounds amazing, just not pleasant.
Both Saharan dust and the overwhelming majority of tropical waves would pass well south of this island, imo
I mean, some of both curve up to Spain.
They usually peter out before then, but this is placed before they fizzle out.
It would probably be subtropical, at least on the coast, just like in the Azores.
So 1% CAN name it?
That's Atlantis, but it seems to have grown recently
Is that that floating plastic island?
This is literally the described position of atlantis by plato. Should be much bigger though
That's what the Platonians want you to believe. Fools! Blind, dumb followers of the Athenian sophistry! Socrates was innocent!
It's not on Google Maps, unless it is the area claimed by the Azores. The Azores is an archipelago that is actually part of Portugal.
It's the Earth Kingdom.
how did things change after the fire nation attacked
Trick question, it's not a country. That's the island in Lost, and one of the locations it pops up.
TIL that French Guiana is in the EU
And that Norway isn't XD
Atlantis?
