Well, it is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, if I recall
correctly.  That can't help geography teachers!

But I would have a problem taking anyone seriously if they didn't know that
Australia and Austria were different countries.  It'd be like if they
couldn't separate caramel from a camel.  (Now that I'm thinking about it,
that's probably tough to do.)
