I had a hard time finding Ukraine, Thailand was also slightly hard to place pixel-perfect !

Took me a couple tries to get Thailand, too, as it didn't snap to the map the first time I placed it.

A version with all countries would be an interesting teaching tool, to learn about geography and cartography. Would need to option to display only some countries at a time, to avoid overwhelming the user.

South Africa was hard, but the hole for Lesotho was the big tip off for me.
