This may be the reason for the misconception of SA's placement in the world. Of course the game "Risk" was made sometime in the early 1500's which explains why the map is so off.
the encyclopedias I used when I was young had places like Ceylon and French Indo China. well at least Siam is still a monarchy. the defense mapping agency maps of the Philippines we used in the late eighties early nineties had the bulk of the interior of Mindanao marked as UNCHARTED. southwest of Subic on the Bata an (Bataan) peninsula a Marine O-3 fell out of a helicopter into the jungle it took three days to find him He was part of some jungle operation exercise; he didn't have his leash snapped in when the helo rolled from a wind gust and gravity did its thing. remember when Grandpa said when you fall out of that tree and break both your legs don't come running to me. he didn't move more that a foot from where he hit the ground he did survive for the most part.
