Oops, they did it again. [via]

Folks, is it really so hard? I mean, I have to pause too sometimes and think about which country is Latvia and which one is Lithuania, or which one is Kyrgyzstan and how to spell it. But… if I had to prepare a map for a newspaper, I think I would find the five seconds necessary to just google it and make sure. Doing an image search for "Slovakia map" takes 0.15 seconds and gives you everything you need to know, including the important fact that it’s not Slovenia.

Of course, it could be a clever photoshop. Then again, stranger mistakes have been made recently.

(Thanks to fellow Slovenian blogger Lemuel and his wonderful This Blog will be Deleted by Tomorrow!)

UPDATE: The Slovak Spectator is confirming that the map appeared in USA Today: US confusion over Slovakia. And, to add to the chaos, The Daily Czech notes that the White House has mistakenly listed Slovakia’s President Ivan Gasparovic as Czech President Vaclav Klaus, here.

UPDATE 2: USA Today has printed a correction.
