As an adult I was shocked to find out how the projection I grew up with altered my perception of my poverty-stricken country. I had no idea for my entire life that it was so much larger than other countries on the map I thought were larger. I doubt I am rare here at all.

And I have no idea what "The West Wing" is. And I doubt I am rare here at all also.

It is a TV show from 1999 that centered on the literal office of the same name that the US President holds court in.

The West Wing is not the President's office, but rather the section that contains The Oval Office, which is President's office, along with other executive offices and rooms, such as the Press Briefing room, the Situation Room, etc.
